Trade Talks with China: Ethical Dilemmas Ahead

Government has to decide: rights or trade?

June 2025

It is reported today that the government is engaged in a range of talks with Chinese officials to improve trade and political relations. The Chinese Embassy is quoted as saying that relations have ‘positive momentum’. Elsewhere, relations are described as ‘warming’. Of course both countries are suffering from the Trump tariff war and so a degree of mutual comfort is to be expected.

The fact remains that human rights in China are dire across a very wide spectrum, almost too long to describe in fact. They include no freedom of expression; atrocious and genocidal behaviour towards the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples; Human Rights defenders who face long prison terms and torture; continuing repression in Tibet; the crackdown in Hong Kong and the execution of large numbers of its citizens – possibly equal to all the rest of the world put together. It is also aggressively pursuing overseas Chinese who criticise the country and persecutes any of their family members in China. Restrictions are getting steadily worse over time.

Azeem Ibrahim, speaking at the Humanist Convention this month, described the multi-pronged approach

adopted by the Chinese. It was a talk about the rising threat of autocracies which included Russia and Turkey. He pointed out that the country leads the world in surveillance and it has a massive programme using facial recognition technology. It is also working hard to gain access and control to international agencies in the UN for example. The Warsaw Institute describes how they use their commercial power and investments to shut down any Security Council criticisms of their human rights infringements. His basic message was that China in particular has an organised and well-funded programme to attack western values by any and all means available. He added that the West has been complacent in thinking that western values are a settled state of affairs.

So where does that leave the Labour government? It is reported to be softening its position now it is in government. Nine individuals have travel restrictions placed on them including 5 Conservatives: Ian Duncan Smith being one and Tom Tugendhat another. All because they criticised the treatment of Uyghurs. These restrictions might be lifted. The concern is that the government is desperate to achieve growth and seems willing to abandon all principles to achieve it although a trade deal is not on the cards. This site is concerned with human rights but the wider issue is western governments – like the UK – who seem very slow to wake up to the organised threat posed by autocracies like China who are determined to pursue their view of the world by all means possible.

去年我在播客裡訪談菊爾・伊力哈木（Jewher Ilham），她提到伊力哈木・土赫提（Ilham Tohti）的故郷：阿圖什（Atush），當時她是這麼說的：

「阿圖什並不大，但是很有名。在維吾爾地區，阿圖什人也非常有名。維吾爾人在國外，無論是美國還是歐洲，從阿圖什出生的人佔大多數。我們維吾爾人有一個諺語，說阿圖什人是維吾爾人裡面相當於猶太人的一個存在，愛讀書，愛經商，愛打拼。」 （ https://diyin.org/podcast/2024/12/ilham-tohti-1/ ）

這個地名對我來說非常陌生，沒有任何概念。看王柯在《「東突厥斯坦獨立運動」的起源》裡提到阿圖什，我才知道這個地方如此重要。

他說「近代維吾爾文化啟蒙運動」最早開始於天山南部維吾爾的社會文化和經濟中心喀什噶爾（Kashgar）地區，阿圖什就位於此。1883年，在阿圖什縣的依克沙克地方，著名資本家 Musabayow 兄弟倡議開辦了維吾爾社會第一座新式學校。Musabayow 兄弟還送維吾爾青年到俄羅斯喀山（Kazan）地區留學，這些人學成以後就回到依克沙克的學校，根據當時喀山和土耳其伊斯坦堡學校的課程設置教學內容。到1892年，由 Musabayow 兄弟派往俄羅斯和土耳其的留學生已超50人，Musabayow 家族負擔全部費用。喀山這個地方好像默默無聞，但據日本學者山內昌之說：「喀山在1905年革命後成為俄國穆斯林的政治、文化中心，在伊斯蘭世界中扮演着並不亞於伊斯坦堡、開羅、貝魯特的角色」。

他還提到，Musabayow 兄弟在依克沙克設立新式學校之後，還從土耳其聘請學者前來任教，Ahemet Kamal 即是其中之一。Ahemet 1907年（一說1913年）在依克沙克辦起了維吾爾社會第一所師範學校。

烏魯木齊七五事件紀念日。

2009年的時候，我還在大學。那個讓人汗流浹背的夏天，突然看到很多人在 Twitter 討論這件事，還有人在推薦相關的書籍。

這是我真正瞭解 #維吾爾 問題的開始，所以一直記得這個日子。
