Carnegie Debate Series Opens Discussion on Human Rights in China

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosts China experts Sharon Hom, of Human Rights in China, and Jacques deLisle, of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, for a discussion on the balance between human rights advancements and deteriorations in the world’s fastest-growing superpower. The two experts argue that the United States’ role as a facilitator of social improvement needs amendment: soft-power tactics will be far more effective given China’s increasing autonomy and aversion to overt international meddling. Coverage of the event is available in Podcast, Windows and Real Media formats, as well as written transcript.
