Quick remainder that the reason for China's sanctions were critical reports by MEPs on the Chinese Communist Party's genocidal policy particularly in the Xinjiang region. As this is ongoing and hasn't changed, there is no reason for the EU to lift its sanctions against China.

Currently, the Chinese individuals and organisations still blacklisted by the EU are:

  • Zhu Hailun, former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR)
  • Wang Junzheng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of XUAR
  • Wang Mingshan, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee -Chen Mingguo, vice-chairman of the government of the XUAR, and director of the XUAR Public Security Department
  • The Public Security Bureau of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC)

Can you explain why China would invite all these countries to see Xinjiang for themselves, and none of them accepted it?
