China’s outlook towards people has enriched global human rights

 

The report titled “For a Life of Contentment. The Rationale for China's Human Rights Development,” has been jointly released by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development and the New China Research under Xinhua News Agency. According to the report, “China has formed a contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights with people as the center, development as the driving force and a life of contentment as the goal, and has enriched the global human rights cause”.

According to the report by the China-based think tank, human rights have been at a transforming stage in China while being continuously enriched and enhanced in the process. This is all while the country’s perspective has been widely based on its own ideology and conditions in the Asian nation.

The report released on Monday said that China has “followed a path of human rights development that conforms to the trend of the times and suits its national conditions in the practice of promoting human rights progress”. It further added that human rights in each country are unique to their individual ideologies, culture, and transformation, and therefore must be respected while being judged and assessed by its own people. Based on this philosophy, the report says the proposal by China is very apt – “living a life of contentment is the ultimate human right”.
