The trip marks a shift in the British government’s approach to China, with ministers seeking to improve engagement and build closer economic ties. Trade between the UK and China is worth £110bn a year.

The UK is betraying human life and rights for profit. Labour are a pathetic joke.

Rulings like this have economic consequences, and the UK can’t afford to derail the treat train from China.

Besides, if they follow up on this genocide ruling, what are they going to do when the one against Israel works its way down the pipe?
