Menschenrechte sind universell. Trotzdem besteht China auf einer Sonderrolle. Beim Schutz der Menschenrechte gebe es kein weltweites Einheitsmodell, argumentiert etwa Chinas neuer Außenminister Qin Gang. Das widerspricht allerdings der Grundidee der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte.   Als die Vereinten Nationen die Menschenrechte vor 75 Jahren formulierten, war maßgeblich auch der Chinese P. C. Chang beteiligt. Ihm war es wichtig, dass in den Menschenrechten nicht nur vermeintlich "westliche" Konzepte berücksichtigt werden, sondern auch chinesisch-konfuzianische Gedanken. Heute will Chinas Staats- und Parteiführung davon nichts mehr wissen.   "Welt.Macht.China"-Moderator Steffen Wurzel spricht darüber mit ARD-China-Korrespondent Benjamin Eyssel, Ruth Kirchner (rbb) und Maximilian Bauer aus der ARD-Rechtsredaktion. Zu Wort kommen auch der frühere Bürgerrechtsanwalt Teng Biao, die Aktivistin Jewher Ilham und der Biograf von P. C. Chang, Hans Ingvar Roth. Mit der Vorsitzenden des Bundestags-Menschenrechtsausschusses, Renata Alt, besprechen wir, welche Folgen der Versuch Chinas hat, Menschenrechte zu verwässern und umzudeuten.   Bei Kritik, Lob oder Fragen schreibt gerne an weltmachtchina@rbb-online.de.

This week on Sinica, Evan Osnos, staff writer for The New Yorker, joins hosts Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn to talk about his new piece on one of the most puzzling figures to come out of China: Guo Wengui, a.k.a. Miles Kwok, who took what he learned about dealing with power and money in China and applied those lessons to the U.S., insinuating himself with leading figures of the American right. Who is this mysterious man, and what is he really after? In an unscripted episode that will bring some listeners back to the grotty apartment in Beijing where Sinica recorded in its very early days, Evan, Kaiser, and Jeremy parse the mysteries of the strange phenomenon of Guo Wengui.03:37 – Who is Guo Wengui?10:07 – Orville Schell's experience with Guo Wengui14:48 – Steve Bannon's comparison between Guo and Trump17:40 – The process of fact-checking this piece 23:03 – Guo's potential ties to the pro-Xi Jinping clique26:02 – VOA's interview with Guo30:06 – Guo's campaign against Teng Biao and other Chinese dissidents33:57 – Guo's role as an interlocutor on behalf of the MSS39:00 – Steve Wynn's efforts to extradite Guo42:10 – Guo's impact on the Chinese diaspora community45:11 – Guo's influence on US-China relationsA transcript of this interview is available at TheChinaProject.com.Recommendations:Jeremy: "President Trump's First Term," by Evan Osnos, a New Yorker article written in 2016 predicting what would happen to the U.S. if Donald Trump won in 2016.

Teng Biao is a prominent lawyer, human-rights activist, and democracy leader from China. He comes from a small, poor village and went to the country's leading university: Peking University. He earned a Ph.D. in legal philosophy. His life took a turn, though: he entered dissidence, wanting to defend people's rights and speak for the voiceless. He was therefore imprisoned and tortured several times. Today, he is in the United States, where he has lectured and taught at many top universities: including Harvard, Yale, and Chicago. With Jay, he talks about the Olympic Games, the genocide of the Uyghurs, and other very important issues.

The 2022 Winter Olympics have kicked off in  Beijing. Meanwhile, in the northwestern Xinjiang region of China, the government is implementing policies that many human rights organizations and foreign governments have determined amount to crimes against humanity and even genocide against the Uyghur people.   The juxtaposition of this internationally celebrated Olympics in the midst of an ongoing human rights calamity is what drives our conversation today, with four different speakers.    Rushan Abbas is the founder and executive director of the campaign for Uyghurs   Teng Biao is a Chinese human rights lawyer and the Pozen Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago.   Yaqiu Wang is the senior china researcher for human rights watch   Sean Roberts is a professor at the Elliot School of International Affairs at the George Washington University and author of the book The War on the Uyghurs.   We recorded our conversation live on Twitter Spaces just before the opening ceremony.

Teng Biao is about as much of a hero as I could ever imagine. Born in a society that brainwashes him to support an oppressive government, he learned how to become his own person with his own ideas. Now, he fights against the injustices of that same government as a human rights lawyer for China. In this episode, we discussed his personal journey, along with political questions such as free speech, Black Lives Matter, and Bernie Sanders's Democratic Socialism. Follow him on twitter @tengbiao

Teng Biao is a Human Rights Activist and Scholar who is dedicated towards eradicating the human rights abuses in China. Born in China, he was raised in a brainwashed society. On this episode, he describes what that life is like and how he was able to shed the propaganda and fight against the society that raised him.

Teng Biao grew up in a rural village before attending law school at Peking University and focusing on human rights. While his early successes were lauded by the Chinese government, he was later abducted and tortured by police. He fled to the United States with his family and now teaches at Hunter College in NYC. See his talk at USC on human rights in China. To learn more about the USC U.S.-China Institute, visit our website or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

On June 4th, 1989, after several weeks of pro-democracy protests, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) put down the challenge to its power. Now, with Hong Kong, the CCP has set in motion a process for ending pro-democracy protests and challenges to its power. This time, however, the CCP has arranged for China's legislative body to validate it's forthcoming action by passing a "security law."Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, Robert Destro (on leave from the Catholic University Law faculty) will moderate a discussion on human rights and the rule of law in China. He will be joined by Professor Jerome Cohen of New York University Law School and Teng Biao, a former law professor, human rights lawyer, and political prisoner in China.Featuring: -- Dr. Teng Biao, Grove Human Rights Scholar, Hunter College-- Prof. Jerome A. Cohen, Faculty Director Emeritus, New York University School of Law-- Moderator: Robert A. Destro, Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), U.S. Department of State

In November of 1938, Nazi paramilitary forces destroyed 267 synagogues, plus thousands of Jewish-owned businesses, institutions, and homes throughout the Reich. “Kristallnacht,” or “The Night of Broken Glass,” made clear what awaited Jews under Nazi control.  Even as the Jewish victims of Nazi violence were forced to clean up the broken glass and indemnify their persecutors, the world did nothing. It couldn't even bring itself to offer refuge to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution.  This inaction gave rise to a phrase now permanently associated with Israel and Jews throughout the world: “Never Again.” History cannot be allowed to repeat itself.   Well, it is. In a recent Washington Post op-ed, Fred Hiatt, who is Jewish, wrote that “In China, every day is Kristallnacht.” The comparison to Nazi Germany is especially powerful when you learn that Hiatt's grandfather founded an organization to help settle Jewish refugees after World War II. In other words, Hiatt's comparison is not made lightly.  In the article, he calls Beijing's war on its Muslim Uighur population “a cultural genocide with few parallels since World War II.” This “cultural genocide” includes imprisoning one million Uighurs in concentration camps, “where aging imams are shackled, and young men are forced to renounce their faith.” There are also credible reports of beatings, rape, denial of basic medical care, and even organ harvesting.  Not only is Beijing imprisoning Uighurs, it's eliminating their history. Between 10 and 15 thousand mosques, shrines, and other religious sites have been destroyed. As Hiatt writes, “Anything that looks too ‘Islamic” is flattened, even a dome on top a department store. A new report entitled “Demolishing Faith: The Destruction and Desecration of Uighur Mosques and Shrines” provides all the evidence we need.  “Before and after” satellite photographs reveal the extent of the destruction in Western China. We can see with our own eyes where mosques are turned into parking lots and Muslim cemeteries erased. By reproducing these photos, Hiatt has made it impossible for Beijing to deny what it is actually perpetrating here: cultural genocide.   Hiatt and the Washington Post have done the world a valuable service. Now we are left with the question: “What have we learned in the past 81 years?”  For the sake of the Uighurs, not to mention the Chinese Christians whose faith is also being targeted by Xi Jinping and his henchman, I hope we have an adequate answer.  We often say things like “seeing is believing,” but to paraphrase writer Upton Sinclair, it's difficult to get someone to look when their getting paid depends on not looking. Too many corporations, governments, and other institutions are refusing to look at China right now.   The NBA is only the most recent and obvious example, but their response is like a profile in courage compared to the non-response of companies such as Apple, not to mention so many in academia, Hollywood, video game companies, and the government. As Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao puts it, “the West kowtows to China through self-censorship.”  Even more, China is exporting its authoritarianism to other countries. Beijing is not only a threat to its own people anymore. Christians must do whatever we can to make people look with painful clarity at the persecution of religious minorities in China. We must care, and we must call our leaders to care.   Business-as-usual with a regime committing cultural genocide is no more acceptable today than it was 81 years ago. There can be no excuse for doing nothing yet again.     

Over the past 16 years, there has emerged in China a community of self-identified "rights defense" (weiquan) lawyers, akin to "cause lawyers" in the United States, who select cases and frame legal advocacy with a goal of achieving wider societal impact.  Once celebrated in official discourse, these lawyers have increasingly come under scrutiny and pressure by the Chinese Party-state, that has intensified despite official promotion of "rule of law" concepts since the CCP Central Committee’s Fourth Plenum in 2014.  In this episode, scholar and activist Teng Biao, one of China’s earliest and most famous weiquan lawyers, discusses with Neysun Mahboubi the history and current predicament of "rights defense" lawyering in China, and charts possible future directions for this work.  The episode was recorded on April 11, 2018. Dr. Teng Biao is an academic lawyer and a human rights activist.  He was formerly a Lecturer at the China University of Political Science and Law, in Beijing.  Since first coming to wide public attention in connection with the Sun Zhigang incident in 2003, he has provided counsel in numerous human rights cases, including those of activists Chen Guangcheng and Hu Jia, religious freedom claims, and death penalty appeals.  He has also co-founded two groups that have combined research with advocacy in human rights cases, the Open Constitution Initiative (Gongmeng) and China Against the Death Penalty.  Most recently, he has visited at Harvard Law School, Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, and NYU’s US-Asia Law Institute.  He maintains an active blog in Chinese and you can also follow him on Twitter @tengbiao.
