<p>We remain concerned by the human rights situation in China, including restrictions
on freedom of religion or belief. Some of our concerns include restrictions on the
celebration of Ramadan in Xinjiang, and reports of church demolition and cross removal
in Zhejiang Province. Freedom of religion or belief remains one of the Government’s
top priorities and we are dedicated to its promotion and protection around the world.</p><p>We
raise this issue consistently with the Chinese authorities and continue to highlight
a range of our concerns related to freedom of religion or belief in China in the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office’s Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy (<a href="http://www.hrdreport.fco.gov.uk"
target="_blank">www.hrdreport.fco.gov.uk</a>), and most recently in July 2015. We
also did so in detail during the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue in April this year,
and will continue to do so as part of our wider relationship.</p>
