Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Dr Yinxuan Huang, a sociology researcher at the University of Manchester, who has been researching how the Chinese Christian community in Britain reacts to the pandemic, suggested the real figures were likely to be far higher.

“The community is probably suffering more than the numbers could tell because there are many invisible, unreported cases,” said Huang. “In all the stories I’ve heard, the victims did not report it to the police.”
