The UK is reportedly set to tighten laws on imports related to China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for so-called forced labor accusations, an impetuous move that has been made based on untenable “evidence” which will worsen the frosty China-UK ties, analysts said.
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was reportedly to make a statement on Tuesday in the House of Commons on the UK government’s response to allegations of “forced labor” in China’s Xinjiang region, The Telegraph reported on Monday.
