China has a benevolent dictatorship. One where to the outsider looking in, human rights are promoted, yet inexistent. These rights include, but are not exclusive to, civil, political, economic, social, and cultural freedoms set forth by a ‘code’ that is acknowledged worldwide. Many of these ‘rules’ of conduct are stimulated by America’s civil rights department reports as well as independent organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Additionally, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set forth by the United Nations in 1948, made it each signatory states’ prerogative to strive for total contentment for the citizens. China receives many raps against its tunnel-vision view on its human rights issue because China choses

Its main cause for this breakage is that China also maintains its “basic principles,” that of Mao Zedong Marxist-Lenist Thought. This thought causes violations to human rights. An elaborate range of censorship over outlets of media not only forbids citizens contact to global news, but claims that China’s citizens are better-off not knowing about world events because it might shed poor light on life at home. How can a state continue development when the majority of its population is uneducated about the world around which exchanges and developments occur? To the Chinese policy makers, these potential threats to education are of no concern. Instead, the CCP Propaganda Department continues to set guidelines by which Chinese journalists, publishers, and editors are required to conform their articles. Nothing can be too positive nor too negative when writing about China. In present China, the internet has been altered to format the views of the People’s Party. Wikipedia, and the like of websites, was blocked on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, June 4, as a way to circumvent possible threats to political solidity.

Employment discrimination makes up a large portion for this injustice. A women’s salary is found to average 77% of that of a man’s and some employers are so ballsy that they will openly state that their positions are for ‘men’ only. Their actions met with approval from the state level because they do not want to give benefits for maternity leaves. On a separate note, the one-child policy leads to a strong male preference to the degree that births of females are regarded as ‘throw away’ leading to increased rates of female infant abandonment and thus difficulty gaining legal life which therefore inhibits schooling and medical aid. This vicious cycle has continued since the one-child policy initiation in 1979 to prevent an overpopulation turmoil, but this unexpected divide of women and men has materialized itself into a turmoil instead. Another minority group distressed in China is Tibet. Formally part of the People’s Republic of China since 1949, the bondage has not brought the cultures together. Raids from anguished people on the boarder, fearful of China becoming a melting pot of foreign ways to life and inability to associate, has led to the destruction of over 6,000 Buddhist monasteries throughout the
