How will China’s
pervasive censorship and control
of domestic and international media and the Internet play out when
thousands of international journalists descend on Beijing? How
are the Olympic Games being used to justify the violent forced
evictions of thousands of people from their homes? As international
businesses reach out
to the world’s largest consumer market, how do China’s restrictions
on labor rights affect workers on the ground? Human
Rights Watch hopes that the 2008 Olympics will be an impetus for China to demonstrate
greater respect for the human rights guaranteed to all under international
law.
