Sommario/riassunto

The Chinese government has traditionally held positions on civil liberties that many nations of the world now view as repressive, although the origins of the nation's civil liberty policies are logically rooted in traditional Chinese ideology. Despite modern China's rapid growth and evolution in various areas, it may take another generation of leadership for substantial change in civil liberties to reach its society.
