David Cameron: "I remain concerned by the restrictions placed on Christianity in China"

In a response to a question on the issue by MP David Simpson, he said: "We believe that freedom of religion or belief is a fundamental human right.

"I remain concerned by the restrictions placed on Christianity in China.

"We are aware of reports of the closure or demolition of churches, the removal of crosses from buildings, and that individuals are being harassed or detained for their beliefs.

His comments come just weeks after Mr Cameron hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping on his state visit.

He said during the visit he was able to make clear the "importance that the UK attaches to human rights as part of our wider relationship with China".

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
