Policy Forum on China to be Held in the Cato Institute Featuring Wei Jingsheng, Chen Guangcheng, Teng Biao, with Comments by Xia Yeliang, and Moderated by Iran Vasquez

The Cato Institute invites you to a Policy Forum on Monday, November 23, 2015

The Deteriorating State of Human Rights in China

Policy Forum

November 23, 2015, 12:00PM to 1:30PM

Hayek Auditorium, Cato Institute (1000 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20001)

Featuring Chen Guangcheng, Visiting Fellow, Catholic University; Teng Biao, Associate, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Kennedy School; and Wei Jingsheng, Chairman, Wei Jingsheng Foundation; with comments by Xia Yeliang, Visiting Fellow, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute; moderated by Ian Vasquez, Director, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute.

Since assuming the presidency of China in 2013, Xi Jinping has become the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, centralizing his authority over the Communist Party, the military, and the government. Eminent scholars and civil rights activists from China will describe the deterioration of human rights under Xi's rule, citing the rise of arbitrary arrests and detentions; a crackdown on academic freedom; the persecution of some ethnic groups; and increasing restrictions on journalists, the internet, religious organizations, and other groups in civil society. The speakers will discuss those developments within the context of other policies, including a new national security law, an anti-corruption campaign, and economic measures in the face of a significant growth slowdown.
