Duncan Smith criticises UK’s unwillingness to call Chinese Uyghur treatment a ‘genocide’ 

Following an urgent question on the Chinese treatment of Uyghur Muslims, foreign minister Amanda Milling  did not commit to calling this treatment a “genocide”.

Influential Conservative backbencher Iain Duncan Smith criticised the government, describing it as “really not good enough”.

Duncan Smith also warned of the UN’s potential for being an “apologist” for China, telling the House of Commons that until the organisation gets “full access”, to “not listen to a single word”.
