Peers vote for second time to amend trade bill and take a tougher stance on China’s human rights record

Any such judicial determination would require the UK to review any bilateral trade agreement with Beijing, because of its abuses against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, and other regimes accused of genocide.
