"Madam President, thank you very much once again for addressing this subject. Now we all agree that respect for religious belief and culture and language are fundamental human rights that should be protected and respected across the world; yet again we are here, we are talking shop and we are addressing an issue. Where that does not happen, of course, we then have an individual that we want to cite and I am going to give that recognition to Mr Tohti for his incarceration, which is just unfounded and unjustified.
But what is the issue here? It is this issue of China, the big global elephant in the room. Even this week, in terms of Mr Juncker’s speech in this Chamber, he did not once mention that country. Now we could take a leaf out of Mr Trump’s lexicon and I am no big supporter of Mr Trump, but in the last few weeks he has actually challenged the ‘One China’ policy, which is universally recognised around the world, and he is prepared to actually stand up to that country. I am going to cite that in this Chamber this morning and suggest that if the EU is serious about this, it needs to take a leaf out of that book and learn from it."@en1
