PM seeks to strengthen UK trade ties with Beijing at No 10 roundtable despite Uighur abuses

The prime minister’s remarks at a Downing Street roundtable with Chinese businesses are likely to infuriate backbenchers in his Conservative party who want the government to take a tougher approach to Beijing’s human rights abuses.
