>The European Union will not remove sanctions on Chinese officials over alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, even as Beijing moves to lift some of its retaliatory sanctions on EU lawmakers.

>The Post reported earlier that China and the European Parliament were in the “final stages” of lifting the punitive measures on sitting members, with an announcement expected in the coming weeks.

>However a spokeswoman for the EU’s diplomatic arm, which oversees foreign policy and sanctions, said on Thursday it had no plans to reciprocate because it had not observed an improvement in conditions in the far western region of China.

China rode a weaker economy into 2025 and is now seeing huge parts of its economy blown up by an orange terrorist
