UK chancellor will be first to make an official visit to China in a decade
Labour MPs have urged Rachel Reeves to demand Jimmy Lai’s release when she becomes the first UK chancellor to make an official visit to China in nearly a decade.
Nine Labour MPs have joined a cross-party call for Reeves to raise the detention of political prisoners in Hong Kong and ask for Lai’s “immediate and unconditional release”, during her visit to China this weekend.
