China: Taiwan
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the judicial guidelines issued by China on 21 June and of the implications for British citizens who support the Taiwanese democratically-elected government.
- Answer
-
The UK has a clear interest in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. We consider the Taiwan issue one to be settled peacefully by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait through constructive dialogue, without the threat or use of force or coercion. New judicial guidelines are part of a series of assertive Chinese measures towards Taiwan in recent months.
Advice to British nationals travelling to China is set out in our travel advice, which includes risks around arrests and detention. Travel Advice is continually kept under review.
