Don’t reconcile with China before Jimmy Lai is freed, son tells Starmer
Starmer aims to reset UK-China relations and address human rights concerns while facing domestic criticism over a new Chinese embassy in London, officials said.
- On Wednesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Beijing to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping, accompanied by around 60 business leaders and cultural representatives, and is expected to raise the case of Jimmy Lai.
- Last week, the UK government approved a proposed Chinese 'super embassy' in central London, while Sebastien Lai urged action for his 78-year-old father, alleging wrongful arrest and torture-based evidence.
- It is the first UK prime ministerial visit since 2018 and follows recent Western leaders' trips, with Starmer meeting Xi for lunch Thursday and denying fresh hacking claims, citing robust security measures.
