China News Service, Beijing, December 4 (Reporter Ma Haiyan) "On the road to human rights protection, we have the deepest feelings, and the most real sense of gain, happiness, and security." said Wang Haiying, Acting Banner Chief of Keyouzhong Banner, Xing'an League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

　　Keyouzhong Banner is the ethnic minority settlement banner with the highest proportion of Mongolian population in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was also the national key flag for poverty alleviation and development, the concentrated contiguous destitute banner at the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, and the deep poverty banner of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

In 2013, the poverty incidence in this banner was 33% (83,576 people), and today, all poverty has been lifted here.

　　This is a microcosm of China's more than 90 million people who have been lifted out of poverty.

When the West frequently labelled China with “democracy” and “human rights”, China used its own governance methods to find the most acceptable footnotes for these two imported Western words. The Chinese people also understand better that “shoes do not fit well, but only I know the true meaning of the saying "".

"The people's happy life is the greatest human right" has become the consensus of the ruling party and more than 1.4 billion people.

　　On December 4, the "Democracy in China" white paper issued by the Information Office of the State Council of China stated: "In China, human rights are fully respected and effectively protected. A happy life for the people is the greatest human right."

　　In 1991, China published the white paper "China's Human Rights Situation" for the first time.

The white paper at the time pointed out: "The right to subsistence is the primary human right that the Chinese people have long strived for."

　　In the past 30 years, from focusing on the "right to subsistence and development" to "the people's happy life is the greatest human right", behind the continuous expansion of China's human rights outlook is the development of the field of human rights practice.

　　Compared with the time when the human rights white paper was published in 1991, China’s average life expectancy has increased from 70 to 77.3 years, from exceeding the level of middle-income countries in the world to being among the top middle- and high-income countries, and the infant mortality rate has dropped from 31‰ to 5.4‰.

　　China has established the world's largest social security system, with basic medical insurance covering more than 1.3 billion people and basic pension insurance covering more than 1 billion people.

　　In the face of the sudden outbreak of new coronary pneumonia, China has concentrated the best experts and medical resources to treat patients with new coronary pneumonia free of charge. From babies only more than 30 hours old to the elderly in their 100s, every life is fully protected.

"Human life, human value, and human dignity are carefully cared for." Every Chinese feels a lot about this.

　　In the judicial field, abolish the reeducation through labor system, improve the community correction system, improve the human rights judicial protection system, strictly implement the rules for exclusion of illegal evidence, and gradually reduce the application of death penalty charges.

"Let the people feel fair in every judicial case" has become a "famous saying" in the judicial field to protect human rights.

　　In the field of education, China has built the largest education system in the contemporary world, and the overall level of education modernization has entered the ranks of upper-middle-class countries in the world.

The pre-school education penetration rate and universal benefit rate exceeded 84%, and the nine-year compulsory education consolidation rate reached over 95%.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Tibet Autonomous Region has fully universalized the 15-year free education policy of “include food, housing, and study expenses” from preschool education to high school. The southern Xinjiang region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has also implemented 15 years of free education. Free bilingual education for the first three years in rural areas.

　　Qi Yanping, director of the Research Center for Science, Technology and Human Rights of Beijing Institute of Technology, said that the development of human rights in modern China and the construction of a well-off society complement each other.

From “building a well-off society in an all-round way” to “building a well-off society in an all-round way”, it has further consolidated the material foundation for the construction of human rights in modern China, and at the same time expanded the breadth and depth of respect, protection and realization of human rights.

Modern China’s human rights cause is based on China’s unique history, culture and actual national conditions, and has formed a new concept of equal emphasis on "equal rights" and "capacity building" on the subject of human rights, and equal emphasis on "respect" and "protection and promotion" on the protection path.

　　The "National Human Rights Action Plan (2021-2025)" issued by the Information Office of the State Council of China in September of this year regards "promoting the free, comprehensive and common development of all people" as the general goal of the development of human rights, which is a new stage of China’s development in the field of human rights Higher pursuit.

　　At the same time, in recent years, some concepts advocated by China, such as "building a community with a shared future for mankind," "promoting human rights through development," and "promoting win-win cooperation in the field of human rights," have been incorporated into the international human rights discourse system, breaking certain Western states in the past. The country’s human rights discourse monopolizes.

　　Liu Huawen, executive director of the Human Rights Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that people all over the world have the pursuit of a better life.

The concept of human rights, human rights standards, and the interpretation and evaluation of human rights should not be controlled or monopolized by one or certain countries.

There are many ways to achieve human rights goals, and there is no simple and uniform model, and it is impossible to copy or impose on others.

　　"What the international community needs today is not'sitting and discussing the road', but'starting and doing it'." Fu Zitang, vice president of the Chinese Society for Human Rights Research and president of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, said that countries all over the world must truly practice multilateralism to solve problems. As the starting point, and guided by visible results, we will promote work in the three major areas of security, development, and human rights in a balanced manner, and effectively implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
