- China Human Rights Report 2007
-
This paper argues that ever since the Chinese communist regime was established, China’s record has shown that it is one of the most notorious countries violating human rights. China is burdened with more human rights violations and civilian deaths than any other country in history. In spite of this it has so far been able to escape international punishment. This is in large part because many countries, such as several Western powers, choose to ignore China’s human rights issue for the consideration of their own national interests.
