2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: China (Includes Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet)

A recent United Nations report calls out the Chinese government for mass arbitrary detention, torture, cultural persecution, forced labor, and other serious human rights violations, and recommends that states, businesses, and the international community take action with a view to ending the abuses, and advancing justice and accountability. The US State Department has also documented China human rights abuses, and reported on China’s coordinated attempts to drown out vast human rights abuses of the Uyghur population in the Xinjiang region through a sophisticated online disinformation campaign.
