**A group of 52 UK schoolchildren and their teachers have been quarantined in Beijing after four children were found to have swine flu, the BBC has learned.**The four are being treated in a Beijing hospital and all are said to be in a stable condition.
The children had just started a visit to the country to learn about Chinese culture and language.
China drew criticism in May when it quarantined a group of Mexican tourists who complained they were badly treated.
The BBC’s Quentin Sommerville, in Beijing, says that three of the four children were found to have high temperatures when they arrived in Beijing earlier in the week.
They were taken straight from the airport to a hospital where it was confirmed they had the virus. A fourth classmate fell ill later in the week.
The group is mostly 14-year-olds from schools across England.
Their parents have been told that the quarantine - in a four-star Beijing hotel - should last a week.
