HRW Urges Finland to Address China's Repression

HRW Urges Finland to Address China's Repression

Human Rights Watch (HRW) is asking the leader of Finland, Petteri Orpo, to talk about China's treatment of its people during his visit there.

HRW says China is doing bad things to its citizens, like putting them in jail for no reason and making them work in bad conditions.

They also say China is hurting people in places like Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Tibet.

HRW wants Finland to stand up for human rights and not just focus on making money with China.

They are worried that Finland's plan to work with China doesn't do enough to protect people's rights.

HRW also thinks that China's actions are causing problems for Finnish companies and are making people in Europe and the United States upset.
