Former mayor of the London Borough of Redbridge Thomas Chan (R), the first Chinese mayor in Britain, together with Yawar Khan, president of the Federation of Bangladeshi Caterers UK, attend the launch of a petition for relaxing immigration regulations in the Chinatown, London, Britain, Nov. 30, 2010. Chinese communities in Britain launched the petition as a number of Chinese catering businesses have been disrupted with the increasingly stricter immigration laws applied to overseas workers from outside the European Union, with employers becoming unable to continue to hire skilled chefs or workers from overseas.
