2009 Human Rights Report: China (includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau)

Zusatztext

2009 Human Rights Report: China by the Department of State is an analysis of the human rights capability of China as an authoritarian country. Excerpt: "The People's Republic of China (PRC), with a population of approximately 1.3 billion, is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) constitutionally is the paramount source of power. Party members hold almost all top government, police, and military positions. Ultimate authority rests with the 25-member political bureau (Politburo) of the CCP and its nine-member standing committee. Hu Jintao holds the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces."
