As far as China is concerned, it is a big trading nation these days. Much as I am concerned about human rights in that country, the degree of democracy permitted there is a separate issue from trade. China would see it as none of our business, and they have a point.

There are not many countries in the world with our high standards. Are you suggesting we don't trade with them either?
If they are using forced prison labour to make our our Christmas cards then yes we shouldn't trade with them.

. A six-year-old girl who found a message from a prisoner in China inside a Tesco Christmas card has said she "thought it was a prank".

Florence Widdicombe told Sky News "it was really weird" to find the note in the charity card.

The message read: "We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu prison China. Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation."
