crime were sentenced. In Jilin, six criminal syndicates
involving 50 members were wiped out.
HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEVELOPMENT
IN CHINA
By Wang Zhuqian
To accelerate its own Development, a nation needs to borrow
good experience of others. In doing so, it should keep
a foothold based on its own condition and take a path
of its own. The Chinese people have, proceeded from national
realities, independently chosen their own road of building
socialism with Chinese characteristics, a road that centers
on the development of economy with the all-round development
in view, This is also the fundamental approach to realize
and promote human rights based on the rights of subsistence
and development.
Under long years of oppression
by the ¡°three big mountains-- imperialism, feudalism and
bureaucrat-capitalism ¨C people in old China did not
have any human rights to speak of. Picture here shows
a peasant is kowtowing in an imperial court in feudal
society.
After the founding of the
People¡¯s Republic of China, the situation in respect to
human rights in China took a basic turn for the better,
and the Chinese people stood up as masters of their own
country. Picture here is Chairman Mao Zedong proclaiming
solemnly the foundation of the People¡¯s Republic of China
on the Rostrum of Tian¡¯an Men Gate Tower.
From 1979, the Chinese Government adopted
a series of
reform policies and measures in rural areas, which
greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers and
brought into full play the potential for agricultural
production to improve agricultural infrastructure, the
level of science and technology and the amount of
investment. Picture here shows the happiness of
farmers on good harvests.
The birth of China¡¯s special economic
zones (SECs) is
the most important component in China¡¯s reform and
opening up policy, and is seen as a sign of China¡¯s
Reform and opening to the outside world. Over the past
years, amazing achievements have been accomplished in
China¡¯s SEZs, which have been considered as an
¡°incredible miracle¡±. Picture here is the outlook of
Shenzhen, the first SEC in China.
