The UK does not publish data on the levels of trade between the UK and specific regions of mainland China. However, the UK’s Overseas Business Risk guidance makes clear the government’s serious concerns about the widespread and systematic human rights violations in Xinjiang and urges companies to conduct appropriate due diligence when making business decisions.
