Human Rights in China

Paper Summary:

This research examines the human-rights status of young people and women in the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.). The research sets forth the historical and cultural background in which human-rights issue fronts have emerged in the P.R.C., particularly with respect to conditions faced by women and children in the country. The paper then discusses the prospect of improvement of those conditions.

From the Paper:

"The history of the P.R.C. since the 1949 revolution has been marked by patterns of human-rights violations that have been associated with the ideological revolutionary posture assumed by Mao Zedong. Mao's ideology was predicated of the concept of permanent revolution, which by implication meant permanent violence internal to Chinese experience. The human-rights implications of this may be derived from a 1969 report by Time on the content of the Cultural Revolution, which noted that "the Chinese made a practice of marching prisoners to the center of the river, accusing them of being pro-Soviet traitors, and then beheading them."
