PM Harris: Chinese Ren Biao Controversy A Douglas Calamity

Published 8 May 2017

St Kitts and Nevis (WINN): The Team Unity government, accused of harbouring Chinese national Ren Biao who is wanted by Interpol and China on financial crime charges, is hitting back.

China wants Biao, who has a St Kitts and Nevis passport, sent back to Beijing for him to be tried for his alleged crimes, and the government in Basseterre is being accused of not cooperating on that matter.

Prime Minister Timothy Harris has responded to a call from Opposition leader Denzil Douglas for him to resign over the issue, by accusing the former Douglas administration of being the one that failed to address the matter while in government.

A proposed House Bill 3419 in the state of Illinois has listed St Kitts and Nevis and 17 other Caribbean countries as a “foreign tax haven” and, if passed, would impact negatively on them.
