<p>We have concerns about all restrictions placed on freedom of religion and belief
in China. This includes the destruction of churches and the removal of crosses from
others. We believe that freedom of thought, conscience and religion is a fundamental
human right, and continue to raise our concerns with Chinese counterparts.</p><p>We
raised our particular concerns about religious buildings in China directly with Chinese
authorities during the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue on 19-20 May. We also highlight
our broad range of concerns publicly in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Annual
Report on Human Rights and Democracy and in quarterly updates to it.</p><p> </p>
