Over the 70 years since the founding of the PRC, China's human rights cause has made remarkable achievements.
Before the founding of the PRC in 1949, China's per capita GDP was only 27 US dollars, the average life expectancy was less than 35 years, the average period of education was less than one year, and about 90% of the population were illiterate; frequent occurrence of wars had kept people living in misery.
Now, China has grown into the second largest economy in the world, and Chinese people enjoy their life and work in peace and contentment. In the past 70 years, the average life expectancy in China has increased from 35 to 77 years. China has basically established a legal and policy system to guarantee the civil rights of citizens.
China put the line of “respecting and assuring human rights” into the Constitution as an important principle, and the harmonious development of society has been significantly improved. China supports the assurance of citizens' rights to subsistence and development, and reverses the tendency of negligence in economic, social and cultural rights, advocating promotion of the balance in protection between these two kinds of rights, so as to enhance human rights and eliminate poverty through development. China's principle of human rights has exerted extensive influence on the international community and has been echoed by many countries.
China has conscientiously fulfilled its international obligations in the field of human rights and acceded to 26 international human rights conventions, including 6 core ones. China has extensively carried out international human rights exchanges and cooperation, conducted human rights dialogues and consultations with more than 20 countries, and maintained constructive exchanges with the UN human rights mechanism.
