Chinese tourist wounded in London terror attack

A young Chinese woman was one of the more than 40 people ­wounded in the deadly terrorist attack in London, on Wednesday, Europe-based Chinese language news outlet Nouvelles d’Europe ­reported on Thursday.

The Chinese tourist was in London on holiday, the report said. She was hit by the assailant’s car and suffered a bone fracture near her shoulder and bruising, it said, adding that her injuries were not life-threatening and that she had been hospitalised.

The Chinese embassy in ­London reminded all Chinese ­nationals to pay close attention to security conditions, to heighten their vigilance of risks and avoid visiting crowded areas in the city.

Mainland travel agencies said no tourists had applied to cancel travel plans to Britain.

“The national travel administration has not issued a travel alert for Britain and we have not ­received any notice from the Shanghai municipal travel ­authority regarding tours to the country, so we haven’t changed or withdrawn any Britain-related travel products,” a customer service representative at the Shanghai-based Jinjiang Travel Agency said.

In 2015, 270,000 mainland Chinese visited Britain.
