Human Rights and Chinese Thought China poses great challenges to human rights in theory and practice. In practice, China is considered, by the measure of most Western countries, to have a patchy record of protecting individuals’ human rights. In the theoretical realm, Chinese intellectuals and government officials have challenged the idea that the term “human rights” can be universally understood in one single way and have often opposed attempts by Western countries to impose international standards on Asian countries.
