Thousands of pounds from Britain’s coronavirus bailout pot for the cultural sector goes to music festival promoting “world control” by China
Art Council England awarded £78K to Belt and Road China-UK music festival. Supported by China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, it promotes the country’s Belt and Road Initiative, which has been accused of ensnaring poorer countries in debt traps by funding infrastructure projects.
The chairman of the Commons’ Foreign Affairs Committee, condemned the grant and said, “it’s one thing to tolerate Chinese propaganda, it’s quite another to pay for it.”
