Addressing the problem of reconciling China's voting record in the
UN on human rights and repressive policy at home, this book argues
that domestic factors determine the way the Chinese government acts
on wider human rights issues. China has a very active voting record
in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on human rights
resolutions and is active internationally on such rights, something
at odds with its increasing repression of human rights at home.
Using rational choice's emphasis on actors acting to advance their
preferences, the author argues that it is the perceived domestic
threat to the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that
determines the way the Chinese government acts on the human rights
issues explored in this book. The author documents the pattern of
this relationship through an in-depth examination of China's voting
in the UNGA on human rights issues, and statements made by Chinese
delegates in the UN on human rights issues. This book will appeal
to students of China, human rights, international relations, and
international organizations, and for both state and non-state
actors seeking to advance policy changes regarding China and human
rights. In addition, the findings have policy implications for
INGOs and states seeking to influence China's policies.
