Human Rights Situation in China: Britain had released a report on human rights abuses in China, which China opposed and called it full of irresponsible comments and derogatory allegations. Describing the report as baseless, China said that China has always been committed to protecting and promoting the human rights and basic freedoms of its people. Also said that human rights have progressed in the country.
A statement issued by China’s embassy in Britain stressed that all matters relating to Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet are China’s internal affairs, in which no foreign interference is allowed. With regard to Hong Kong, it was said that in the past 25 years since joining its motherland, Hong Kong residents have enjoyed far greater rights and freedoms in accordance with the law.

What did China say?
On behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Britain, it was said that China always welcomes the media and journalists of other countries to China according to the law and regulations.
