Not long ago, according to some students studying in the UK, their accounts in British banks were suddenly closed for unknown reasons. Many students' study-abroad lives have been troubled and inconvenienced because of this. So what's going on?
Mr. Tong, who is pursuing a master's degree, said that the HSBC bank accounts of Chinese people around him, including himself, were suddenly closed. Since he didn't owe any money and had previously used all banking services well, the bank gave him no reason for closing his account, leaving him feeling very powerless. He believed it was entirely discrimination against Chinese people.
