🌍 As the world gears up to mark Human Rights Day on December 10, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping's enduring commitment to advancing fundamental rights remains central to global conversations. Here's how China's leader frames this crucial issue through his landmark statements:
"Development Is the Golden Key"
President Xi emphasized in 2024 that "the rights to subsistence and development are primary human rights" during a poverty alleviation forum, highlighting China's success in lifting 800 million people out of poverty since 2012.
Global Governance Call
At the 2025 Boao Forum, Xi urged nations to "promote human rights through dialogue, not confrontation", advocating for a multipolar approach that respects civilizational diversity.
Tech Meets Rights Protection
During this year's World Internet Conference, the president outlined a digital future where "AI development must align with human dignity", announcing new blockchain initiatives for transparent social services.
With China's new National Human Rights Action Plan (2026-2030) set for release next week, these principles continue shaping both domestic policies and international cooperation frameworks. 📈✊
