Think tanks release report on China's outlook on human rights

BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- A report examining contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights was released on Monday.

Jointly released by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development and the New China Research under Xinhua News Agency, the report said China's outlook on human rights has been continuously enriched and improved in practice, with its own cognitive perspective and ideological connotation based on the actual conditions of the country.

It has formed a contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights with "people" as the center, "development" as the driving force and "a life of contentment" as the goal, read the report titled "For a Life of Contentment -- The Rationale for China's Human Rights Development."

Noting that human rights protection in China means concrete actions, rather than lip service, the report said the country has made achievements step by step, raising the living standards of its people from poverty to bare subsistence, and from moderate prosperity in general to moderate prosperity in all aspects.

Embarking on a journey toward a higher goal of common prosperity, China is committed to providing a "happy and dignified life for some one-fifth of the world's population," said the report.

China's novel ideas, measures and practices in terms of how to respect and protect human rights may also offer inspiration for the rest of the world, especially for developing countries, noted the report.

It attributed China's success in promoting human rights protection to the determined leadership of the Communist Party of China, down-to-earth approach, being development-oriented, legal guidance, and open-mindedness.

China advocates enhanced exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations, addressing the "governance deficit" of human rights, promoting fairer, more equitable, reasonable and inclusive global governance of human rights, and working together to build a human community with a shared future.

China inspires world in human rights protection

BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's novel ideas, measures and practices in terms of how to respect and protect human rights can offer inspiration for the rest of the world, especially for developing countries, said a new think tank report on Monday.

Over the past decades, China has lifted some 770 million rural Chinese out of poverty, increased its per capita disposable income by more than 180 times, and raised its average life expectancy to 78.2 years from less than 35 years before 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, according to the report, which is titled "For a Life of Contentment -- The Rationale for China's Human Rights Development."

As proof of China's human rights progress, the Human Development Index (HDI), an indicator the United Nations Development Programme created by integrating basic indicators such as life expectancy, education level and quality of life, rose from 0.499 in 1990 to 0.761 in 2019 in China, sending the country to the ranks of countries with high HDI scores.

The report attributed the progress to the determined leadership of the Communist Party of China, the country's down-to-earth and development-oriented approach, as well as the emphasis on legal guidance and open-mindedness in respecting and protecting human rights.

By upholding the idea that the rights to subsistence and development should be taken as primary basic human rights, China has met the basic living needs for an extra-large population and finished building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

With a combined population of more than 80 percent of the world's total, developing countries are faced with similar tasks. In this sense, China's explorations and experiences are of great value for their reference, said the report.

Noting that China has successfully blazed a human rights development path that conforms to the times and befits its own national conditions, the report went on to state that China respects the diversity in the approaches to human rights development and holds that there is no such thing as a perfect "Utopia" for human rights.

It said the country opposes double standards in human rights, rejects attempts to politicize and weaponize human rights, and objects to interventions in others' internal affairs in the name of human rights.

The report said that countries should base their efforts on equality and mutual respect, actively engage in human rights dialogues and cooperation, expand consensus while bridging differences, and learn from each other and pursue common progress.

It called for efforts to promote fairer, more equitable, reasonable and inclusive global governance of human rights, and work together to build a human community with a shared future.

CPC is active promoter, staunch defender of human rights cause: report

BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) is an active promoter and staunch defender of the human rights cause, and has always included respecting and protecting human rights as a key part of national governance, says a report on China's human rights development.

According to the report, jointly issued Monday by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development and the New China Research of Xinhua News Agency, the CPC has since its founding united and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in making unremitting efforts to fight for, respect, protect and develop human rights.

Under the leadership of the CPC, the fate of countless people has been changed, says the report, adding that a new chapter has been written in the history of China's human rights by the earth-shaking changes in Chinese society, and the country has seen achievement in the human rights cause on all fronts.

"China deems the rights to subsistence and development as the primary basic human rights," says the report.

The country has formulated and implemented national human rights action plans and other special plans, says the report, adding that China is committed to providing a happy and dignified life for some one-fifth of the world's population.

In particular, after more than 30 years of fighting poverty, China lifted over 770 million rural poor out of poverty by the end of 2020, removing the "biggest obstacle to human rights" for 1.4 billion people.

China also worked to promote "holistic human rights" in a coordinated way and high standards of "equal human rights," the report reads.

While advancing its human rights cause at home, China also actively fulfills its responsibilities as a big country, thus continuously promoting global human rights governance and effectively promoting international human rights development and progress, says the report.
