Effectively this is 1o… Just phrase it right!..
Taught my son this Here and Here, when I had to teach him at home for a term when we had Visa Issues 
…
I can’t even get a job here in England now… At least a proper one in Computing… Spent too long in China maybe 
If I cant stay here or go to the US we go back there!
DV Clearances
Yes, having lived in China for 10 years and having family there could be a significant issue when applying for a job at GCHQ. Here are some potential concerns and challenges:
1. Security Clearance Issues
- Foreign Contacts: Having family in China could be seen as a potential security risk, as intelligence agencies assess the possibility of foreign influence or coercion.
- Residency in China: A long period of residence in China may raise concerns about exposure to foreign intelligence services.
- Work & Associations: If you worked with or had close ties to Chinese businesses, universities, or government-linked organizations, this could be scrutinized.
2. Vetting Process
- Developed Vetting (DV) Clearance: For most sensitive roles, GCHQ requires Developed Vetting (DV) clearance, which involves extensive background checks, including financial history, social connections, and travel records.
- China as a High-Risk Country: The UK considers China a country with active intelligence-gathering operations, so applicants with strong connections may face additional scrutiny or disqualification.
3. Conflict of Interest
- If your wife and family are still in China, GCHQ may view this as a potential vulnerability, as intelligence agencies assess risks of coercion or influence.
4. Transparency is Key
- If you decide to apply, be completely honest about your past residence, connections, and any affiliations.
- If you can demonstrate strong UK ties, loyalty, and no conflicts of interest, you may still have a chance, but expect a rigorous security clearance process.
It’s like having a life means commiting a crime!
