January 4, 2019 Kashgar City Government of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Organizes Foreign Journalists to Visit Kashgar City Vocational Education and Training Center
Britain has decided to take measures to prevent products from Chinese labor camps in the Xinjiang region from entering the country, after exposing the Beijing regime’s brutal treatment of Uighurs. Beijing asked London to stop “interfering in China’s internal affairs”. On the same day, the Canadian government also announced measures to prevent products related to labor camps in Xinjiang from reaching Canadian consumers.
On Tuesday, the British government officially announced specific measures to restrict the entry of Xinjiang Chinese labor camp products into the UK. More than a million Uighur Muslims living in Xinjiang have been forcibly detained in labor camps or concentration camps for “re-education,” according to international independent groups. Beijing argues that these are vocational training centers designed to prevent extremist Islamic terrorism and separatism.
But British Foreign Secretary George Raab told lawmakers in the House of Commons on Tuesday to expose the “barbarism” of the Beijing regime, saying that “this barbarism, which we had hoped was part of history, is still being practiced today. He cited the Beijing regime’s “arbitrary refusal to detain, political brainwashing, forced labor, brutal abuse and forced birth control” of Uighurs on a massive “industrial scale.
Raab went on to say that Britain has a “moral responsibility” to act in the face of this “unacceptable rape of human rights. He announced a series of bans on the export or import of products related to Uighur labor reform.
We must act to ensure that British businesses are not involved in the logistics chain that leads all the way to Xinjiang’s concentration camps and, at the same time, monitor that these products, which violate human rights, do not find their way into our shopping malls,” Raab said.
The Canadian government also took steps on Tuesday to stop products linked to the Xinjiang Uighur labour camps from reaching Canadian consumers. In a message, Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs said the government is seriously concerned about evidence of human rights violations in China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.
In the face of “repressive surveillance,” “mass arbitrary detentions,” “mutilation and abuse,” “forced labor,” and “forced labor,” Beijing authorities have targeted Uighurs. labor” and the mass migration of workers from Xinjiang to other Chinese provinces. The Ottawa authorities said they are following “Britain and other international partner countries” in their efforts to prevent the entry of labour camp products into Canada. Ottawa authorities also said the move was also intended to “protect Canadian businesses from involuntary collusion.
Following the announcement, Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jun demanded that London stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and accused the UK of a “purely political attack” by banning Xinjiang labor camp products from entering London.
