<p>The report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights provides new evidence of
the appalling extent of China's efforts to silence and repress Uyghurs and other minorities
in Xinjiang. It includes harrowing evidence, including first-hand accounts from victims,
that shames China in the eyes of the international community.</p><p>The UK has already
led international efforts to pressure China to change its behaviour. We have imposed
sanctions, led joint statements at the UN, taken action to tackle forced labour in
supply chains, funded research to expose China's actions, and consistently raised
our concerns at the highest levels in Beijing.</p><p>Following the report's publication,
we have raised our deep concerns about its findings with the Chinese Embassy in London
as well as senior officials in Beijing. We are now considering appropriate next steps
with our international partners.</p>
