answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary met Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on 5 May and set out the UK's views on Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Government's approach is to engage constructively with China while steadfastly defending our national security and our values. We will continue to raise human rights issues directly with China. Similarly, we will continue to use our channels with the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities to make clear our strong opposition to the erosion of rights and freedoms in Hong Kong, the deliberate targeting of opposition voices and China's ongoing non-compliance with the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The UK's longstanding position on Taiwan has not changed. We consider the Taiwan issue one to be settled peacefully by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait through constructive dialogue, without the threat or use of force or coercion.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL7567 HL7568 HL7569 HL7570 HL7571 question first answered 15/05/2023 15:34:01 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
