Legacy of Human Rights Abuses in China

China's poor human rights record is in stark contrast to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which China does not acknowledge or prioritize. China consistently ranks among the worst in human rights rankings, with low scores in freedom, economic freedom, and press freedom. China also collaborates with other human rights violators like North Korea and Iran. The international community must focus on addressing the fundamental sources of human rights abuses in China, such as labor camps, religious suppression, and institutionalized control. Economic engagement with China should be tied to improvements in human rights.
