Better livelihoods reflect better human rights

People across the world want their human rights to be well protected so they can lead a relatively trouble-free and peaceful life. But different countries, due to their different cultures and social environments, have different ways and measures to protect human rights.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government and the Chinese people, through arduous struggles, have led the world's most populous country from poverty and hunger, created partly due to century-long foreign aggressions and wars, to prosperity and, in the process, written a magnificent chapter of human rights.

A congratulatory message sent by CPC Central Committee General Secretary Xi Jinping to the 2015 human rights forum in Beijing said the Party and Chinese government have always respected the human rights of the Chinese people, and taken measures to ensure they enjoy those rights.
