<p><br /> David Cameron is expected to raise the case of jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo in private talks with Chinese leaders later.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Cameron infuriated supporters of the dissident academic when he failed to mention him by name when raising human rights in talks with Premier Wen Jiabao on Tuesday.<br /> </p><p><br /> Downing Street officials refused to confirm whether he planned to do so later in his two-day visit. But it is thought likely he would take the opportunity of a banquet hosted by Mr Wen or private talks later with President Hu Jintao to express his concern.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Cameron is the first Western leader to visit China since Mr Liu was awarded the Nobel prize on October 8 and has come under increasing pressure to raise his case with the Chinese leadership during a trip which he had intended to focus predominantly on trade.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Liu was jailed for 11 years last December for subversion after launching a petition for democratic reforms. His case was forced up the agenda when Chinese security agents prevented his lawyer boarding a plane for London at Beijing airport this morning.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Cameron insisted that he would not fight shy of human rights issues in talks with Mr Wen and President Hu. But he said there would be no "lecturing or hectoring" of his Chinese hosts and he would approach the subject "with respect and mutual understanding, acknowledging our different histories".<br /> </p>
