Attn: President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang, Mr. Zhu Shengling, Mr. Le Yucheng, Mr. Chen Daoxiang / Manifesting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in China. Dear Sirs, there are certainly some very positive aspects about China. It's just that China is not a perfect society. And just like any other human society – like America, Russia and Europe – Chinese society may need a bit of fixing. This means adopting mainstream policies that are essential when conducting business and commerce with the rest of the world; such as the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which China should finally honour and ratify - just like all other countries who have ratified this very important international agreement, that ensures civil rights and fundamental human rights are upheld in a civilized country. This includes the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Violence against women is still a widespread problem in China. The government's one-child policy, female infanticide, the abduction and sale of women, and the practice of arranging marriages are all major areas of concern in China. Information on violence against women in China is difficult to obtain because the government does not publish statistics. Independent organizations are not permitted to monitor the women's rights situation in China. Chinese press organs will only publish material that meets the approval of the CPC government. Child poverty is also a big problem in China. Approximately 4.2 million children are classified as living in extreme poverty in China. The families most affected by poverty are those living in rural or of an ethnic minority. Two thirds of children who are not attending school in China are girls. Of the total illiterate population, 70% are women; which would mean that over 34 million women in China are illiterate. Also, President Xi Jinping has faced accusations – backed by mounting evidence – of mass human rights abuses in Xinjiang, including the internment of more than a million Muslims in detention camps. The camps and the abuse, forced labour, forced sterilisation of women, mass surveillance and restrictions on religious and cultural beliefs have been labelled as cultural genocide by the EU, Britain, Canada and the US. Therefore the Chinese government must finally implement fundamental freedoms and basic human rights in China; as stipulated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
