Sadiq Khan has entered the row over Air China’s “racist” tourist guide to London, insisting that the city is among the safest in the world and that its multicultural makeup is one of its greatest assets. The mayor of London has now come to the defence of the capital, arguing that its rich diversity is something to be proud of. “London is one of the safest cities in the world and Londoners from different backgrounds living side by side is one of our greatest strengths,” said a spokesman for Khan. “The mayor is pleased that the magazine has now been withdrawn,” his office added. Khan met Chinese business leaders on Friday morning when opening the first two all-electric bus routes for central London.
