HRW World Report 2023 Focus On White Paper Revolution, Hong Kong, And XinJiang

On January 11, Human Rights Watch, an international non-governmental organization, released the Human Rights Watch World Report 2023, and the report highlights the human rights problems in Communist China through 11 pages.

 The report points out that since Xi Jinping continued in office as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in October last year, he has strengthened his power. He ruled the country with drastic measures to fight Covid, also known as the CCP virus, and repeatedly imposed citywide lockdown on hundreds of millions of people. There are numerous reports of privacy violations, speech censorship, people losing livelihoods, and law enforcement’s excessive force against the citizens, which have caused numerous human rights disasters in the society.

 This led to protests in cities across Communist China. Brave protestors of the White Paper Revolution swept the country. They condemned the CCP’s harsh measures in unison, and publicly accused Xi Jinping’s rule. These acts of resistance show that although the CCP government has invested a lot of resources to suppress human rights, the Chinese people’s desire for human rights cannot be suppressed.

 Regarding Xinjiang, the report notes that the CCP government has massively detained approximately one million Uighurs and other Muslims – who have been subjected to torture, political brainwashing, and forced labor. The religious, speech and cultural rights of the general population are also severely restricted, with appalling severity, scale and brutality. The United Nations has argued that human rights violations in Xinjiang may constitute crimes against humanity, echoing findings by Human Rights Watch and other human rights groups.
