Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, , course: Law, language: English, abstract: Human rights, a concept deeply ingrained in global discourse, serves as a cornerstone for evaluating the ethical foundations of societies and their treatment of individuals. This paper delves into the discourse surrounding human rights in the context of the People's Republic of China (PRC), exploring the historical evolution, ideological shifts, and incidents that have shaped its trajectory. While international attention on human rights violations in China has intensified over the years, the Chinese government's stance, rooted in notions of sovereignty and socialist principles, has presented a complex narrative. The paper unfolds chronologically, navigating through key milestones in China's human rights discourse. The Democracy Wall Movement in 1978-1979 and the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 serve as pivotal moments that challenged the official stance on human rights, leading to international condemnation. The paper scrutinizes China's engagement with the United Nations, its signing and ratification of human rights conventions in the 1980s, and the subsequent realities that questioned the alignment of rhetoric with practice. China's approach to human rights is shaped by a unique blend of socialist ideology and historical context. The prioritization of economic and social rights over political rights, as articulated in official white papers, reflects a distinct emphasis on collective well-being. The paper critically examines China's assertion that the right to subsistence is the paramount human right, portraying human rights as a noble goal pursued by the state rather than a stringent set of obligations. Despite China's active involvement in international human rights frameworks, incidents such as the Tiananmen Square massacre expose a stark contrast between rhetoric and reality. The invocation of sovereignty as a shield against international criticism, a principle rooted in China's historical struggle for autonomy, adds layers of complexity to the discourse. This paper aims to unravel the intricacies of China's stance on human rights, examining the ideological underpinnings, historical developments, and the dissonance between rhetoric and actions. In subsequent sections, we will delve into specific incidents of human rights violations, shedding light on the challenges and contradictions that define the contemporary discourse on human rights in China.

Download or read book China and the International Human Rights Regime written by Rana Siu Inboden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Prior to China's entry into the United Nations (UN) in 1971, there was fierce debate about its anticipated behavior and impact. Proponents of Chinese membership argued that integration into the United Nations would ultimately change or "civilize" the People's Republic of China (PRC) while skeptics countered that the "...the UN is not going to serve as a reform school for Peking," and that China was likely to attempt to alter the international system. When Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders failed to challenge the existing global order and eventually adjusted their own priorities and goals to fit into it and even benefit from the prevailing international order, its behavior alleviated concerns of destructive behavior. Yet, the larger question of China's longer-term impact on and role in international regimes remains an open question. Even if the PRC has not acted as a spoiler of the international system, are there subtle yet significant ways that it has pursued change toward international regimes? This question become more pressing and salient with China's ascendance and rising weight in global politics, especially given indications that it is shedding its earlier status quo posture and shifting to a more assertive one. As scholar Elizabeth Economy noted, in a June 2018 speech PRC President Xi Jinping "put the world on notice: China has its own ideas about how the world should be run and is prepared, as he put it, to 'lead in the reform of global governance.'" Scholars have begun grappling with"--

Download or read book Mao s China And Post mao China Revolution Recovery And Rejuvenation written by Robert Weatherley and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the history of modern China was written as a book, its author would be accused of losing touch with reality. During the twentieth century, China underwent two revolutions, a number of wars, endured a radical and destabilising form of communism and then hurried quickly towards a system of open market economics whilst remaining under the control of a nominally communist party. Currently the fastest growing economy in the world with an increasingly sophisticated and expanding military, China is widely expected to emerge as the world's next superpower, eclipsing the United States in the not too distant future.However, not everything is going smoothly for Beijing. Unemployment rates are spiralling, inequality is rife and official corruption at all levels remains an Achilles heel for the Chinese Communist Party, despite Xi Jinping's best endeavours to wipe it out. Worst of all, environmental degradation is at such a serious level that it threatens the success of the Chinese economy and the stability of Chinese society.Against this scarcely believable backdrop and based on a series of lectures, seminars and research conducted by the author, Mao's China and Post-Mao China captures the dynamics, dynamism and disasters of Chinese politics since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. This advanced textbook identifies three key themes that have underpinned the post-revolutionary era, the so-called 'three Rs' — Revolution, Recovery and Rejuvenation — and is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of modern China at the undergraduate and postgraduate level
Download or read book Human Rights in Chinese Foreign Relations written by Ming Wan and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few issues in the relations between China and the West invoke as much passion as human rights. At stake, however, are much more than moral concerns and hurt national feelings. To Washington, the undemocratic nature of the Chinese government makes it ultimately suspect on all issues. To Beijing, the human rights pressure exerted by the West on China seems designed to compromise its legitimacy. As China's economic power grows and its influence on the politics of developing countries continues, an understanding of the place of human rights in China's foreign relations is crucial to the implementation of an effective international human rights agenda. In Human Rights in Chinese Foreign Relations, Ming Wan examines China's relations with the United States, Western Europe, Japan, and the United Nations human rights institutions. Wan shows that, after a decade of persistent external pressure to reform its practices, China still plays human rights diplomacy as traditional power politics and deflects pressure by mobilizing its propaganda machine to neutralize Western criticism, by making compromises that do not threaten core interests, and by offering commercial incentives to important nations to help prevent a unified Western front. Furthermore, at the UN, China has largely succeeded in rallying developing nation members to defeat Western efforts at censure. In turn, it is apparent to Wan that, while the idea of human rights matters in Western policy, it has seldom prevailed over economic considerations or concerns about national security. Western governments have not committed as many policy resources to pressuring Beijing on human rights as to other issues, and the differing degrees of commitment to human rights-related foreign policy explain why Japan, Western Europe, and the United States, in that order, have gradually retreated from confronting China on human rights issues.

Book excerpt: As economic power diffuses across more countries and China becomes more dependent on the world economy, Chinese leaders are being forced to abandon their largely passive approach to global governance.

It also draws implications from that analysis for future U.S. policy.
Download or read book China s Human Rights Lawyers written by Eva Pils and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique insight into the role of human rights lawyers in Chinese law and politics. In her extensive account, Eva Pils shows how these practitioners are important as legal advocates for victims of injustice and how bureaucratic systems of control operate to subdue and marginalise them. The book also discusses how human rights lawyers and the social forces they work for and with challenge the system. In conditions where organised political opposition is prohibited, rights lawyers have begun to articulate and coordinate demands for legal and political change. Drawing on hundreds of anonymised conversations, the book analyses in detail human rights lawyers’ legal advocacy in the face of severe institutional limitations and their experiences of repression at the hands of the police and state security apparatus, along with the intellectual, political and moral resources lawyers draw upon to survive and resist. Key concerns include the interaction between the lawyers and their bureaucratic, professional and social environments and the forms and long term political impact of resistance. In addressing these issues, Pils offers a rare evaluative perspective on China’s legal and political system, and proposes new ways to assess domestic advocacy’s relationship with international human rights and rule of law promotion. This book will be of great interest and use to students and scholars of law, Chinese studies, socio-legal studies, political studies, international relations, and sociology. It is also of direct value to people working in the fields of human rights advocacy, law, politics, international relations, and journalism.

Download or read book China the United Nations and Human Rights written by Ann Kent and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as a Outstanding Academic Book for 2000 Nelson Mandela once said, "Human rights have become the focal point of international relations." This has certainly become true in American relations with the People's Republic of China. Ann Kent's book documents China's compliance with the norms and rules of international treaties, and serves as a case study of the effectiveness of the international human rights regime, that network of international consensual agreements concerning acceptable treatment of individuals at the hands of nation-states. Since the early 1980s, and particularly since 1989, by means of vigorous monitoring and the strict maintenance of standards, United Nations human rights organizations have encouraged China to move away from its insistence on the principle of noninterference, to take part in resolutions critical of human rights conditions in other nations, and to accept the applicability to itself of human rights norms and UN procedures. Even though China has continued to suppress political dissidents at home, and appears at times resolutely defiant of outside pressure to reform, Ann Kent argues that it has gradually begun to implement some international human rights standards.
