Development of human rights takes center stage

A senior publicity official urged appropriate departments and research institutes to increase their studies into the development of China's human rights under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

Those departments and organizations were urged to further explore China's human rights development patterns and characteristics while summarizing its successful experiences and achievements, Cui Yuying, vice-minister of the State Council Information Office, said on Tuesday.

"The central government supports and encourages such studies and research," Cui said at the opening ceremony of a seminar on China's development of human rights in the new era.
