Check out the wikipedia page on human rights in China. It’s an interesting read. Especially the counter arguments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_People’s_Republic_of_China#Counterarguments

After reading the article, it seems like Westerners are trying to impose their own beliefs on the Chinese. Rather than valuing the individual, the Chinese value the collective.

jcs007 your link does not connect to any article, it is a blank wikipedia page. Would you please post the link again. Thanks.

that’s weird. I tried the link myself and it didn’t work. There is an article on Chinese human rights that has the title in the link: Human rights in the People’s Republic of China.

I just did a search on Wikipedia using the terms “Chinese human rights”. Should take you to the article that I was trying to link to.
