The right to life and development are fundamental human rights that have been protected and promoted by the Chinese government since the founding of modern China in 1949, attendees at a human rights seminar agreed in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Saturday.

Luo Haocai, chairman of the China Society for Human Rights Studies, which sponsored the gathering, said in his keynote address that researchers should conduct more studies on the internet's role in serving those rights in developing countries.

Another key speaker, Cui Yuying, deputy director of the State Council Information Office, urged scholars to strengthen their systematic and theoretical studies on China's human rights practices, looking ahead to serve the country in the future and helping the country's human rights cause become better understood in the world.
