Well that puts the asylum seeker/refugee possibility to bed.

Does it?

OK, there is more chance that they were being trafficked but there is also the possibility that they are one of the many peoples that the Chinese government are cracking down on.

The world must be in some state if the Chinese are having to come all the way across the world and Britain is the first safe country they arrive at.

Anyway, unless they presented themselves at the UK Border, completed the asylum registration process then got back in the truck, this looks like a straight shoot between illegal immigration and trafficking.

Exactly who I'd expect to be making a c**t of themselves doing so in this thread. You have to wonder what it is that shrivels up an essential part of some folk's soul but not others.
Mintermind is just an attention seeker tbh. Sureiknow is a genuinely racist creep however.

bit disrespectful to refer to them in 'meerkat' language, IMO

unless they're from Heilongjiang Province in the far north, bordering Russia along the Amur River, in which case - fair enough...

If they have come from China then by far the most likely scenario is economic migrants rather than people from Tibet or Xinjiang fleeing repression, it does not rule it out but most people trying to get to the UK from China tend to do so for work. 

Places like Guangzhou, the middle class have lifestyles comparable to the UK. But there are still hundreds of millions of people who are very low income labourers working brutally long hours to knock out our throw away tat for small wages. 

(Being economic migrants should in no way take any sympathy away from them and their fate)

That's a terrible way to talk to a Chinese refugee.  Have you no heart?
