<p>The UK is committed to promoting the ethical development and deployment of technology
in the UK and overseas. We are aware of a number of Chinese technology companies linked
to violations taking place in Xinjiang, including use of high-tech “predictive policing”
algorithms, DNA and voice sampling, and extensive use of surveillance cameras, and
are monitoring the situation closely.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Where China is
not meeting its obligations under international law and falls below the standards
required and expected of responsible governments and nation states, this government
has and will continue to speak out publicly.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government
is committed to supporting UK businesses and academia to engage with China in a way
that reflects the UK’s values and takes account of national security concerns. Last
year we published guidance to help cutting-edge UK firms negotiate the ethical, legal
and commercial questions they may encounter in China or when working with Chinese
businesses, supporting safe and appropriate UK-China collaboration in digital and
tech. The guidance provides firms with clear, up-to-date information and specialist
support which reflect the UK’s values and take account of national security concerns.</p><p>
