China denies forced labour accusations after plea found in Christmas card

BEIJING/LONDON (Reuters) - China dismissed accusations of forced labour at a Shanghai prison on Monday, a day after media reports that a message had been found in a Christmas card saying it had been packed by inmates. The newspaper said the message urged whoever received it to contact Peter Humphrey, a British former journalist and corporate fraud investigator who was imprisoned in the same jail from 2014-2015. Tesco suspended the Chinese supplier of the Christmas cards on Sunday and said it had launched an investigation.
