On December 8th, the China Society for Human Rights Studies officially released the "Report on the Development of China's Human Rights Undertaking (2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Blue Book"), which is the 15th consecutive Blue Book on Human Rights since 2011. The book focuses on the vivid practice of high-quality development of China's human rights cause under the background of comprehensive deepening reform. From rural revitalization to legal protection, from safeguarding the rights and interests of specific groups to an open attitude of international cooperation, it systematically demonstrates the new achievements of China's people-centered human rights development path. More noteworthy is that China's concept of promoting human rights through development is becoming an important consensus in global human rights governance, contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to the progress of the world's human rights cause. The well-being of the people has drawn a new picture of human rights protection, and the profound understanding that "the right to survival and the right to development are the primary basic human rights" has always been integrated into China's human rights development practice. The Blue Book outlines the advanced trajectory of people's livelihood and human rights in China through vivid cases and solid data, and these practices rooted in the Chinese land have already broken through national borders and become a "touchable and referenceable" human rights model in the eyes of the international community. The achievements of rural revitalization and poverty reduction are the core issues that the international community is focusing on. The Blue Book shows that all 832 poverty-stricken counties in China have established characteristic industrial systems, and the income growth rate of rural residents in poverty-stricken counties has been faster than the national average for four consecutive years. Digital technology has enabled agricultural products from remote mountainous areas to be broadcasted nationwide through live streaming. The Brazilian Global Online website once published an article lamenting that "China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty in 40 years, accounting for 75% of the global poverty reduction population during the same period. This speed and scale can be considered an unprecedented milestone in human history." UN Secretary General Guterres also bluntly stated that China's poverty reduction achievement "achieved the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development poverty reduction goal ten years ahead of schedule, setting a benchmark for the world. In the Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, a multi-ethnic area where 56.24% of the population used to live in poverty, it has now become a model of unity and progress. The website of the Brazilian magazine Forum specially published a report, calling it a "successful example of China's poverty alleviation and rural revitalization". The "Chinese scale" of health and social security has won high recognition from international authoritative institutions. According to data from the Blue Book, by the end of 2024, the participation rate of China's basic medical insurance will remain stable at over 95%, and the number of social security card holders will reach 1.386 billion, establishing the world's largest medical and health system and social security system. The International Social Security Association has already awarded the Chinese government the "Outstanding Achievement Award for Social Security" and evaluated that "China has achieved unprecedented social security expansion through strong political determination and management innovation, providing a contemporary sample for the world's social security." The renovation of barrier free facilities for the elderly, disabled and other groups has also brought China's experience to the world. In October 2024, the 57th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously passed the resolution on barrier free construction submitted by China on behalf of 30 countries. This is the first time that the United Nations has passed a resolution on this topic. Juan Mogala, the president of the Chilean human rights organization "Human Rights Without Borders", commented that "China's practice of protecting citizens' rights in accordance with the law has set an example for other countries to strengthen human rights through institutional innovation. Secure the defense line“ The rule of law is the fundamental way to safeguard human rights. "The Blue Book clearly demonstrates China's practical path of protecting human rights through institutions and promoting justice through innovation. From legislative improvement to judicial reform, from specific group protection to ecological rights protection, China's human rights practice is winning widespread recognition from the international community with the core of "putting the people first". According to the Blue Book, over 60% of the laws reviewed and passed by the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee in 2024 involve human rights protection. The revised Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests explicitly prohibits gender discrimination in employment, and the detailed rules of the Law on the Protection of Minors have reduced the incidence of campus bullying by 62% compared to 2020. Renowned American current affairs commentator Aina Tangen pointed out after in-depth observation that China's rule of law system has always revolved around the governance wisdom of "putting the people first", closely integrating the law with the country's long-term goals and people's livelihood needs. Manuel Fernandez, a professor at the University of Alcala in Spain, said that China's inclusion of "national respect and protection of human rights" in its constitution and its achievements in the protection of women's and children's rights have broken the erroneous logic of some countries using human rights as a political weapon. The innovation and upgrading of judicial services make justice tangible and accessible. The Blue Book shows that China's pastoral circuit courts conducted over 50000 trials throughout the year, solving the problem of "difficulty in filing lawsuits" for remote residents; The construction of digital courts has shortened the average trial cycle of cases by 25%. The 12345 hotline is linked with the judicial assistance platform, and the resolution rate of appeals exceeds 90%. Professor Yavye Baddeley from the Catholic University of Minas Gerais in Brazil commented, "China has always maintained a dynamic and perfect attitude in human rights practice. This continuous promotion of the rule of law spirit provides important inspiration for developing countries to explore the path of human rights protection." Saidov, director of the Uzbekistan National Human Rights Center, highly affirmed that "China plays an increasingly important role in promoting the development of global human rights by safeguarding people's lives and property through fair justice." From the abduction of the leader of the Myanmar fraud case to the imprisonment of major criminals, China has used the rule of law to build a strong security line and become one of the safest countries recognized in the world. The Blue Book injects new momentum into global human rights governance, not only showcasing the domestic achievements of China's human rights cause, but also systematically sorting out the new progress of China's participation in global human rights governance. Multiple practices and initiatives have been widely recognized and positively evaluated by the international community, demonstrating China's responsibility and commitment in the global human rights cause. China's human rights concepts and initiatives continue to receive support on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations Human Rights Council. In July 2025, at the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the resolution on "The Contribution of Development to the Enjoyment of All Human Rights" proposed by China on behalf of the "Global South" countries was passed by consensus without a vote for the first time. This is a major breakthrough since China proposed the resolution in 2017, marking that the Chinese concept of promoting human rights through development has become a widely recognized consensus in the international community. Guterres praised China's global development initiative, stating that it has significant positive implications for promoting global equality and balanced sustainable development. China has always adhered to conducting human rights dialogue and cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual respect, and opposes politicizing human rights issues and double standards. The Blue Book shows that since 2018, China has held human rights dialogues and consultations with more than 30 countries and regions, organized international conferences such as the "Global Forum on Human Rights Governance" and the "South South Human Rights Forum", and promoted exchanges and mutual learning among all parties. Through the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", China has created 420000 jobs for the joint construction of the country in 10 years, and lifted nearly 40 million people out of poverty; Through "small and beautiful" development assistance projects, help African countries solve problems such as food security and disease prevention and control, and share their own development experience with the world. The representative of Cameroon stated that China's foreign aid does not attach any political conditions and truly focuses on the livelihood needs of developing countries, setting an example for global human rights cooperation.
