Conservative backbenchers have called for tougher action against Beijing as the Government is expected to blame China for cyber attacks against parliamentarians.
Speaking alongside other members of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China , he told a press conference in Westminster: “We must now enter a new era of relations with China, dealing with the contemporary Chinese Communist Party as it really is, not as we would wish it to be. China should also be in the “enhanced” tier under the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, sanctions should be imposed on those responsible for human rights abuses in China, and support should be given to MPs and others targeted by Beijing in the UK, Sir Iain added.
Both Sir Iain and Mr Loughton were sanctioned by China in 2021 and have repeatedly urged the Government to take a stronger line towards Beijing.
