Acvattilen, We share your

concerns about reports of human

rights abuses in China and have taken every opportunity,

both bilaterally and with our European partners, to make

Our views known to the Chinese authorities. The Foreign

Secretary has discussed this issue on several occasions

with the Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen and, on his

visit to Peking in September, the Prime Minister spoke

forcefully to Premier Li Peng about British concerns over

human rights in China, specifically citing the the

treatment of religious believers, student demonstrators

and the situation in Tibet. He reminded Premier Li Peng

of our

concern when they met in New York at the end of

January.
