East Asia

The hon. Lady either deliberately or—I am quite sure—accidentally misunderstands my point. I shall try again for the third time, because clearly, I have not made it very well. My right hon. Friend the Member for Tonbridge and Malling was critical of Ministers. I simply sought to point out to the House that Ministers, other parliamentarians and everyone who seeks to engage with China has a particularly difficult challenge. The Committee’s report exhorts the Government to do more simultaneously on trade and on human rights, but doing both simultaneously is difficult. That was my point—not that we should not lobby the Chinese Government on human rights. I agree with everything that the Committee says about human rights. It is, however, difficult to do the two—trade and human rights—simultaneously. China presents a particular challenge that we do not encounter anywhere else in the world.
