The discourse of human rights in China

"There can be few countries in the world that have faced more intense external criticism of their human rights record than the People's Republic of China. In seeking to defend itself, the Chinese government has accused the West of imposing a distinctly liberal criterion of human rights on a country with a markedly different conception of the subject which is grounded in its own historical, cultural and philosophical background. This book explores the validity of such claims, paying particular attention to the state ideologies of Confucianism, Republicanism and Marxism."--BOOK JACKET.
