Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani says sanctions by China against Tory backbench critics of Beijing's treatment of the Uighurs is a "turning point" for the UK's relationship.

the West version of human rights is selective

Bizarre that all these British politicians are speaking about a place tens of thousands of miles away, but none has the guts to talk about the school in Yorkshire, where a teacher is in hiding (many are hunting him down to behead him) after teaching part of the national curriculum. These politicians are so brave!

lol After ranting on about 'human right' she pivots to explaining why the UK/US/Canada are so 'concerned' about the Uyghurs in Xinjiang @1.29. It's all about stopping the BRI where Xinjiang links China to the Middle East. Pls be honest with the British public.

Wait I thought only Russian and Chinese diplomats were allowed to be sanctioned

xinjiang Uyghur thought .... in last 40 years my life expectancy doubled, population doubled, economy grew 200 folds, is this genocide, the like of which happened in Australia, Canada, US and throughout British colonial history?

As long as Assange is in jail, the UK has no moral authority to lecture other countries on human rights.

After Batley Grammer School this week. I say China has it right on how to deal with Islam and something the UK should see about emulating

[HScarlet]

What about what the US did to Mexican families at the border. Googling MPs outrage about that. Nope... Nope... Can't seem to find it... I mean it sounds like a human rights issue to me.

America says jump and we jump. Don't forget when Blair jumped to America saying Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

[goolooggg]

Stigmatising, terrorising or hate crimes against Asian Americans is human rights violations, why no talk?

No... The turning point for relations with Beijing was the "reeducation" camps.

Dont poke the tiger without being prepared for the attack

One can easily tell that this lady is struggling to hide her anxiety. Her smile looks ‘sad’.

[jayleatham]

Bear in mind that we have just publicly announced we are making our military smaller

[Mrkhan]

This is hypocrisy. Why they don't raise their voices against human right violations in Jammu Kashmir and Palestine?

[pedrothewise]
