| Summary: | Focusing on the "human aspect" of human rights, this article adopts a "social construction" model of human rights to expound the problem of human rights in China in its cultural and social settings. It invokes distinctive Chinese thought (Confucianism and socialist discourse in particular) on the human being and human rights and explores the contribution of Christian practice and theology to human rights discourse in China. It proposes a conception of human rights as a form of "social-theological" construction in China. This approach shows respect to its cultural and social conditions on the one hand, while on the other hand taking into account the basic human aspect of human rights with reference to the Christian tradition. |
