China to ratify forced labour conventions in ‘major signal’ to EU

Two International Labour Organization conventions were among the stumbling blocks during marathon talks for the EU-China investment treaty

But the deal is still in limbo and an EU official says it ‘has no chance while there are sanctions’ on members of the European Parliament

 

China is set to ratify two International Labour Organization conventions on forced labour next week during a meeting of its top legislature, a move seen as an important step to improve ties with Europe.

State news agency Xinhua said lawmakers would ratify the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 during a meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.

The decision was made public at a meeting on Monday.
