UK Chancellor George Osborne has announced that visa restrictions for Chinese nationals will be relaxed, in order to make it easier for visitors from China.
"These changes will streamline and simplify the visa application process for Chinese visitors, while ensuring the system is strong and secure," said Osborne.
The simplification of the rules will see Chinese nationals able to visit the UK on the same visa that they need for visiting the EU. Currently visitors would have to apply for a separate UK visa.
