Mr Loughton was in Djibouti for a 24-hour visit, which included a meeting with the British ambassador.
He said when he arrived in his passport was scanned and he was asked what he did.
He told the : “I told them I was a member of parliament and then it went all very frosty.
“Djibouti is effectively a vassel state of China – what China wants, Djibouti kowtows to and having a troublesome MP who has been sanctioned by China turning up on their doorstep was clearly something they didn’t want to entertain.”
He said he was put on the next available flight out of the country.
He said: “This was another example of how the tentacles of the Chinese Communist Government extend far and wide, and their malign influence in sensitive parts of Africa is particularly worrying.
“Yet the intimidation of countless others who have dared to speak out against China’s industrial scale human rights abuses and who do not have the platform an MP raises serious concerns.”
