CGTN Exclusive: UK's secret betrayal, repatriation of Chinese sailors after WWII
45:10

CGTN digs into a dark chapter of the UK's wartime history, where racial prejudice in some of the highest echelons of government resulted in broken families, lost heritage and a fight to make British authorities apologize for a shameful past. The Chinese sailors, who once braved the stormy seas and battlefronts of the North Atlantic to keep Allied forces supplied during the Second World War, were forcibly repatriated when the war ended. Hundreds of men vanished overnight, leaving behind wives, partners and children without any explanation of where they had gone and why. CGTN speaks to sons, daughters and grandchildren of the sailors about the tragedy in the documentary "The Secret Betrayal."
