Background




In China, there are many violations of Human Rights. Violation of life, liberty, personal security, freedon of speech, religion, assembly, and rights to an education. They have a system of "equal pay for equal work."

Location


It is currently occurring pretty much all over China. The two most affected locations are Xinjang Province which is located in North West of Qinghai, and Tibet which is located right below Xinjang Province.
In Xinjiang, the government encourages the Han Chinese to migrate into the asrea; obtaining higher paying jobs and busincesse than the Islam. In Tibet, after China invaded and took control of the chinsesse, restricted the practice of Buddhism and encouraged chinese people to migrate there. They have impoved their infrastructure and economic development.

Developement

Over all, all the conflicts with unequal Human Rights occurs between two countries; China and Tibet.

1911 - Tibet gains independence


1950 - Chinese forces invade Tibet


1959 - Tibetan uprising crushed by Chinese


1989 - Dalai Lama awarded Nobel Peace Prize


1990's - Tibetan monasteries rebulit

Impact


Effects of People:
underground Protestant house church meetings were disrupted by police, participants often detained and beaten, and the churches were destroyed. Also, 500,000 people are in detention without charge or trail. Repression of minority groups.

Effects of Environment:
Chinese are taking over more land.

Effects on Economies:
Nation economy has grown at an average rate of 9.8% over the past 30 years, 1978 to 2007, and the GDP has shot up from 364.5 billion to 24.953 trillion yuan.

Effects on Government:
With all of their gains the government becomes more powerful and rich.

Future


In the future we can expect that China will be dictated by one religion and ethnic group. The expanding of China. Chinese officials say that they will end torture, guarantee fair trails, strictly controlled executions and provide open access from prisons to journalists.

Big Picture


Chinese industry result in a faster growth rate in manufacturing. The size of China is also a contributing factor; population of 1.3 billion people. Zhongguan Cun, Beijing, the Chinese Silicon Valley has a collaboration of colleges, enterprises and state banks. They feel a need to expand, nationalism. Dominant Han ethinic group.

This relates more to the cultures and government of Chine. The behavior of people and culture is changed forcefully by the government. It's either you flow with what the government wants or be crushed by them during the process.

These can relate to other countries that have their government controlling everything that their people do. Governments and countries that follow a certain religion is an example of something similar to China's situation.
