Human Rights Politics and Democratic China (in Chinese) - Xiao Chen

This book proposes a framework of "Human Rights Politics" as a foundation for imagining a democratic future for China. Through philosophical reflection, institutional design, and social analysis, the author explores how human rights protections can precede and support democratic governance. Rather than treating democracy as the starting point, the book argues that a stable democratic society must first be built upon robust guarantees of fundamental human rights such as housing, healthcare, food security, and personal freedom. Written in an accessible style, the book aims to present complex political ideas in clear language and imaginative narratives.
