This book examines civil liberties in China today, covering the
topics of constitutional rights of citizens, rights of the
criminally accused, the court and legal systems, and judicial
conflicts between government regulation and personal freedoms. The
Constitution of the People's Republic of China was amended in 2004
to expressly include the protection of human rights, and the last
revision of the Constitution in 1982 ostensibly guaranteed civil
liberties such as freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly.
In actuality, China still resorts to suppressive actions such as
strictly controlling accessible content on the Internet and
censorship of the media, as well as silencing criticism of
government or calls for political reform. Civil Liberties in China
explores both theory and practice by identifying key issues in
Chinese ideology, government, and human rights. The book assesses
historical evidence and empirical data, putting major legal cases
in the context of Chinese traditions and culture. Abortion, the
one-child policy, and privacy issues are given special attention.
