International humanitarian law is defined by the international red cross as a set of rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons, to limit the effects of armed conflict. It protects persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts the means and methods of warfare. International humanitarian law is also known as the law of war or the law of armed conflict. China has agreements in place, in theory supporting international humanitarian law.  China is a party to major international humanitarian treaties, including the Geneva Conventions Convention of 1949 and two Additional Protocols of 1977. Additionally in 2007, China established the National Committee on International Humanitarian Law to promote the coordination, promotion and application of IHL throughout China. It has also hosted multiple International Committee of the Red Cross seminars to discuss International Humanitarian Law. However, in practice China is violating many human rights. They definitely have the asian view that values such as social and economic rights take precedence over civil and political rights. Also they have values such as rights are a matter of national sovereignty and other governments should not interfere. The treatment of the Uyghurs are China’s most obvious human right violations. They are putting them in modern day concentration camps and torturing them. This is a very clear ethnic genocide. China’s official policy of diluting and reducing the Uyghurs population obviously violates international human rights law. Furthermore, their treatment of the Uyghurs also violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR); International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR); International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICRD); and the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), all ratified by China. To top it off, the campaign against the Uyghurs even violates China’s own constitution. So even though China technically has agreed to many human right and humanitarian law treaties, they are not following them at all.

So ethnocentrism is the belief that the people, customs, and traditions of your own race or country are better than those of other races or countries: It also means believing that the way you’re used to doing things is the only right way to do them, and that people or cultures that do things differently are inherently wrong. China is a very nationalist country whose nationalism is ethnic based and built upon cultural superiority. Ever since Mao Zedong declared that “the Chinese people stood up” when the People’s Republic of China was founded, the story of foreign power humiliation has fueled Chinese nationalism. Although China has embraced some Western modernization and made English a compulsory subject in primary schools, the attachment to its historical power has largely remained. China’s nationalist narrative encourages double standards and racism. In cases of discrimination against Chinese people and cultures, the general basis for criticism is that the behavior offends China rather than talking about the moral basis of anti-racism. Also, the human rights situation is continuing to get worse in an increasingly communist China. Lawyers and human rights activists reported instances of harassment and intimidation; unfair trials; as well as torture and other ill-treatment solely for exercising their rights to free speech. The government continues to indoctrinate Muslims living in Xinjiang, mass arbitrary detainees, torture and forced cultural assimilation. There are thousands of Uyghur children separated from their parents. Furthermore, Hong Kong’s national security law has resulted in unprecedented human rights abuses since the special administrative region was established. Authorities have rapidly expanded Hong Kong’s national security legal system over the past year, further broadening the definition of a national security threat. In March 2021, the mainland legislature approved a decision to reduce the number of directly elected seats on the Hong Kong Legislative Council election committee and to allow the state security police to investigate all candidates before they run for election. There is also a huge amount of censoring from websites to movies to apps, China is restricting the amount of information allowed in.
