We continue to develop people's democracy throughout the process, promote the protection of human rights and the rule of law, resolutely safeguard social fairness and justice, and the people enjoy broader, fuller and more comprehensive democratic rights. We have promoted fuller and higher quality employment, built the world's largest education system, social security system and medical and health system, and vigorously improved the quality of people's living environment.

China is the only major country in the world that has continuously formulated and implemented the fourth national human rights action plan. We have actively participated in global human rights governance, made Chinese contributions and provided Chinese solutions to the development of the world's human rights cause. *** A path of human rights development suited to China's national conditions. First, adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system determine the socialist nature of China's human rights cause, and determine that we can ensure that the people are the masters of the country, adhere to the equal sharing of human rights, promote the all-round development of all kinds of human rights, and constantly realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people. Second, adhere to respecting the people's dominant position. The people's character is the most prominent feature of China's human rights development path. We safeguard the people's democratic rights, fully stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of the people, make the people become the main participants, promoters and beneficiaries of the development of human rights, and earnestly promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people. Third, adhere to proceeding from China's reality. We have integrated the principle of the universality of human rights with China's reality, promoted the development of the cause of human rights in the light of China's national conditions and the requirements of the people, and ensured that the people enjoy extensive, full, real, specific and effective human rights in accordance with the law. Fourth, adhere to the right to survival and development as the primary basic human rights. Survival is the basis for the enjoyment of all human rights, and the people's happy life is the greatest human right. We fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, adhere to the people-centered development idea, adhere to development for the people, development depends on the people, and the development achievements are shared by the people, strive to achieve higher quality, more efficient, more equitable, more sustainable and more secure development, and make the broad masses of the people feel a sense of gain, happiness The sense of security is richer, more secure and more sustainable.

We uphold equality before the law, respect and protect human rights throughout all links of legislation, law enforcement, justice and law-abiding, accelerate the improvement of the legal system with fair rights, fair opportunities and fair rules, protect citizens' personal rights, property rights and personality rights, and ensure citizens' basic political rights to participate in democratic elections, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision, The level of protection of human rights, the rule of law, the environment and society has been continuously improved. Sixth, adhere to actively participate in global human rights governance. We carry forward the common values of all mankind, practice true multilateralism, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, including human rights, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. The above six articles are not only the main characteristics of China's human rights development, but also the valuable experience we have gained in promoting China's human rights cause. We should continue to adhere to and develop well in combination with new practice. *** Social security, medical care, housing, elderly care, child care and other work, and comprehensively improve the level of human rights protection in the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization. *** We should systematically study, plan and solve prominent problems strongly reflected by the people in the field of the rule of law, treat the demands of the people fairly according to law, and resolutely put an end to things that harm the feelings of the people and damage the rights and interests of the people due to judicial injustice. All acts that infringe upon the legitimate rights of the masses and all phenomena that are indifferent and indifferent to the infringement of the rights and interests of the masses must be seriously investigated and dealt with and resolutely held accountable in accordance with discipline and law. *** We should carry out human rights education among all the people, especially the majority of young people, and bring the education of Marxist outlook on human rights and contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights into the national education system. We should strengthen human rights training for public officials, especially grass-roots public officials. We should give full play to the advantages of mass organizations and promote better protection of the rights and interests of specific groups such as women, children, the elderly and the disabled. We should rely on the vivid practice of the development of China's human rights cause, refine original concepts, and develop China's human rights discipline system, academic system and discourse system. We should strengthen the construction of human rights think tanks and human rights research bases, and strive to cultivate a group of high-end human rights experts who have solid theories, excellent academic skills, are familiar with international rules and can tell Chinese human rights stories. *** We should actively participate in UN human rights affairs, extensively carry out international human rights exchanges and cooperation with all countries, especially developing countries, and play a constructive role. *** The evaluation of whether a country has human rights cannot be measured by the standards of other countries, let alone double standards. Human rights can even be used as a political tool to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. We should grasp the strategic initiative, focus on telling the story of China's human rights, and use visual and specific expressions to enhance the attraction, appeal and influence of contemporary China's concept of human rights. *** Cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, should consciously study the Marxist outlook on human rights and the contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights, raise awareness, enhance self-confidence, and take the initiative to do a good job in respecting and protecting human rights. All regions, departments and industries should enhance their awareness of respecting and protecting human rights and form a joint force to promote the development of China's human rights cause.
