Let’s get to work

my new word,illiterate!

英国政府吃错药了,整天造谣谎言,你们可以派国内公知舔美者,偷偷去新疆拍摄采访普通百姓的生活啊,看看那里的情况,中国对少数民族资源比汉族好的很多很多

There are also many British people who have been to Xinjiang or worked in Xinjiang. Don’t you really know what is going on in Xinjiang and what is going on in China? Don't blindly maliciously discredit and attack

All they have is 'allegedly'. Not facts. It is 'Guilty before proven innoccent'. How stupid is that?

what do you think use forced labor can compete with developted country. we are not Africa. we used robots labor.we going to industry 4.0

The British government always make up information for political reasons

Thank you BorisJohnson and GOVUK! This is step one in ensuring and restoring the human rights of the Uyghurs. I call upon JoeBiden, WhiteHouse, SenateGOP, SenateDems, HouseGOP, HouseDemocrats, TheJusticeDept and StateDept to help the Uyghurs because UyghurLivesMatter!

Ha ha ha, it is worthy of being called the little Trump of Britain.

When will the western world in act of restitution,justice and equity estimate the cost of labour( both mental,physical and otherwise) that they took from Africa during the period of slave trade and return it to the African region. That is the best place to start.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is still living in 18th century.

hhhhhh,一系列措施?醒醒,大英帝国已经亡了

The Canadian gouvernement should also ban Chinese

IchWeisseNicht Not allegedly and it's called slavery. CCP is also organ harvesting them while raping and forcefully marrying women. But I am guessing CCN is not happy with this news since it is gonna effect their friends.

This is good news and the more publicity there is, punish those who profit from slavery. Wider harsh treatment is the right idea for China. They just don’t care unless tough handling is applied.

Such horrible situations for these people. Communication cut off from family and friends, force labor, denied the right to practice their culture, forced to worship Communist party. Total brainwashed.

The entire republic of China is guilty of this - not just this region. It’s a good start but not enough. Arguably also not alleged - several countries including the US have publicly condemned China for their human rights violations re this issue.

Yes, yes!!!

The government intends to exclude suppliers where there is evidence of human rights violations in their supply chains.

Evidence?

Sure that'll get them to stop.... That's more like you want to cut it a pie

C’mon, you guys are so full of shit it smells all the way over the pond! Xinjiang is an important part of China’s Belt and Road infrastructure network but the region has faced attacks blamed on members of the Muslim ethnic Uighur (Al Qaeda) minority.

Meanwhile, Trump had no problem with it.

Baseless claims !

Britain to expand the Modern Slavery Act , which may include items manufactured by the Uyghurs under duress entering Britain.

You can still buy from slave labor, you just have to tell us you bought from slave labor. It helps us drive the price down.. 🤦🏻

It’s about time. Great job uk. oppression and genocide is so 1940’s

Where’s EU?

Britain to use fines to target forced labor in China's Xinjiang .

what says Merkel?

'Allegedly'? What, you afraid China is gonna sue? As if they'd ever consent to the discovery required to prove that claim is false lol

RealSaavedra only one region of china not the whole country huh? Feckless order.

Britain to tighten laws on imports linked to alleged Chinese human rights abuses.

That’s a good step although it’s not enough. Chine is committing a genocide against Uyghurs and other minorities

Where are our corporations? They don't care!

Britain introduces new company rules to stop links to China's Xinjiang .

I like how it’s only to that region and not the whole country.
