Review Of Weatherly- The Discourse Of Human Rights In China: Historical And Ideological Perspectives, Stephen C. Angle
Review Of Weatherly- The Discourse Of Human Rights In China: Historical And Ideological Perspectives, Stephen C. Angle
Stephen C. Angle
Many Chinese voices, both official and academic, have claimed that China has its own concept of human rights and thus that China should not be criticized in terms of Western versions of that idea. Robert Weatherley examines the emergence and evolution of the idea of rights in China, and then assesses both the degree to which Chinese rights thinking genuinely differs from its Western counterpart, and the extent to which Western criticism of Chinese human rights practice is justified.
