<p>The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom's hearing on 14 December
further highlights China's ongoing human rights violations. The environment for freedom
of religion or belief across China is restrictive, including the persecution of Christians,
Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others on the grounds of their religion
or belief.</p><p>We work within the UN, Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe (OSCE), Council of Europe, International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance
and other international organisations and networks to promote and protect freedom
of religion or belief for all where it is threatened. More broadly, we regularly raise
the human rights situation in China directly with the Chinese authorities at the highest
levels. Most recently, the Foreign Secretary did so in a meeting with his Chinese
counterpart on 20 February 2023.</p>
