<p>We remain deeply concerned about the persecution of Christians and others on the
grounds of their religion or belief in China, including reports that authorities are
tightening control over how certain religions are practised. The freedom to practise,
change or share one's faith or belief without discrimination or violent opposition
is a human right that all people should enjoy, this includes having access to religious
texts and being allowed to worship in a manner of their choosing. The UK believes
that societies which aim to guarantee freedom of religion or belief are more stable,
prosperous and more resilient against violent extremism. We continue to raise Freedom
of Religion or Belief issues directly with the Chinese authorities and via multilateral
action at the UN.</p>
