Watch UK MPs debate China’s policies towards Uighurs here, starting in 30 minutes at 6pm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Jw-W-B0Q0 … #ChinaUighurDebate
After @Chris_EvansMP opened the debate with a speech summarising the plight of Uighurs in China, @MPIainDS adds his support for sanctions: "no matter how much trade is worth to us, it is not worth the loss of lives". #ChinaUighurDebate
@ShabanaMahmood questions why sanctions have not been imposed after months of review, and what we know about supply chains - she argues there is a real risk that PPE procured from China may well have come about from forced Uighur labour.
@TomTugendhat adds that the UK "is not seeking to hold China to a standard that we would not hold ourselves to or that China hasn't already agreed to". China has signed international conventions on the elimination of all forms of discrimination, genocide and torture.
The UK must go further than sanctions, and seek out firms that have profited from Uighur labour, says @NazShahBfd . "Unless China is threatened with unflinching political, commercial and legal action from the government, nothing will change".
After 14 MPs spoke in support of sanctions against China, @nadams responds on behalf of the government. He reiterates the position that judgments on genocide are a matter for judicial decision, and that the UK government never comments on UN elections conducted by secret ballot.
