Chinese camps containing more than one million Uighurs in the Xinjiang province are viewed as mass \u2018organ banks\u2019, where medics inspect the toll of dead prisoners and help themselves to useful parts from murdered human beings <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Britain contemplates a brave new era of international free trade beyond Europe<\/a>, the People\u2019s Republic of China<\/a> features prominently in its economic future. The dealings between the UK and the world\u2019s most populous country already represents a market worth more than \u00a366bn. Bilateral trade with China has reached peak levels, and the current Conservative government is convinced that the amount of goods and services exchanged between the two nations will multiply after Brexit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beijing is certainty excited about the opportunities: a statement from China\u2019s commerce ministry last year announced that it had agreed to \u201cactively explore the possibility of discussing a top-notch free trade agreement<\/a> between the two sides after Brexit\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, Conservative ministers have put all considerations about the morality of such a deal to one side, focusing instead on their sacred cows of liberalisation and the free market in their negotiations with criminal regimes. Britain\u2019s arms exports to belligerent allies such as Saudi Arabia, Israel and India are frequently criticised, along with other states involved in the widespread persecution of racial and religious minorities.  TOP ARTICLES1\/5READ MORETrump administration officials agree to testifyabout Ukraine call for impeachment investigation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collusion with China raises matters to yet another grotesquely macabre level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN Human Rights Council<\/a> has been told that China is actively selling human organs on an industrial scale, to be used in transplants. Evidence comes from the London-based China Tribunal<\/a>, an independent body investigating and exposing the highly lucrative global trade in organ harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparisons with the Nazi regime are entirely appropriate when we consider that many of these organs have been harvested from those who are viewed as enemies of the Chinese state. They include members of the Falun Gong spiritual group, who practice a form of Buddhism. China\u2019s ruling Communist Party pledged to eradicate them 20 years ago, and the crackdown has continued unabated ever since. Tibetans and members of some Christian minorities are also suffering the same fate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Muslims are also high on the list of China\u2019s internal adversaries, with so-called \u201cre-education centres\u201d being used to incarcerate them. There are now more than 20 million Muslims in China \u2013 the figure still makes them a significant minority in a country with a total population of 1.4 billion \u2013 and many are Uighurs, an ethnic group that originated in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
