More about the book
With roughly 20 percent of the globe’s population and a booming economy, China’s international importance continues to grow rapidly. Yet for all its economic and international stature, this fascinating country remains politically unusual and complex, as many of its inhabitants are denied fundamental human rights. This powerfully written and incisive study throws light on the recent history and current status of China’s human rights policies. Covering issues ranging from the restrictions on speech and worship to the lack of freedom in the judicial, economic, public health, and environmental sectors, it provides a well-informed look at the social limits placed on the citizens of this vast state.
