'''Human rights in China''' are periodically reviewed by international bodies, such as human rights treaty bodies and the United Nations Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review.<ref>{{Cite web |title=China |url=https://www.ohchr.org/en/countries/china |access-date=2 February 2024 |website=Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights}}</ref> The [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP), the [[Government of China|government of the People's Republic of China]] (PRC), their supporters, and other proponents claim that existing policies and enforcement measures are sufficient to guard against [[human rights abuses]]. However, other countries (such as the United States and Canada), international [[non-governmental organization]]s (NGOs) including [[Human Rights in China (organization)|Human Rights in China]] and [[Amnesty International]], and citizens, lawyers, and [[dissident]]s inside the country, state that the authorities in [[mainland China]] regularly sanction or organize such abuses.
Independent NGOs such as Amnesty International and [[Human Rights Watch]], as well as foreign governmental institutions such as the U.S. State Department, regularly present evidence of the PRC violating the freedoms of [[freedom of speech|speech]], [[freedom of movement|movement]], and [[freedom of religion|religion]] of its citizens and of others within its [[jurisdiction]]. Authorities in the PRC claim improvement in human rights, as they define them differently, so as to be dependent on "[[Cultural relativism|national culture]]" and the [[developing country|level of development]] of the country.<ref name="xinhuanet human rights">{{Cite news
