	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text We remain concerned about reports of persecution of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others on the grounds of their religion or belief in China. The freedom to practise, change or share one’s faith or belief without discrimination or violent opposition is a fundamental human right that all people should enjoy. We believe that societies which aim to guarantee freedom of religion or belief are more stable, prosperous and more resilient against violent extremism. The UK last raised these issues with China at the UK/China Human Rights Dialogue in June 2017. answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 26/06/2018 14:58:02 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
