October 1， 2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China （PRC）， a day of special significance not only for China but for the entire world. As a result of the developments that have taken place in the PRC over the 70 years， the people of China are living a happier life， the world is more prosperous， and human society is more diverse and colorful.
　　Seventy years ago， under the leadership of the Communist Party of China （CPC） the people of China were emancipated and became masters of their country. Over the subsequent seven decades， the Chinese nation has stood up and grown prosperous and is becoming strong； all basic rights of the people are better respected and protected； and China has made regular contribution to the international cause of human rights.
　　Living a happy life is the primary human right. Since the day of its foundation， the CPC has set its goal to work for the wellbeing of the people of China， for national rejuvenation and for human progress. Since the founding of the PRC， and especially since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012， China has been guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The nation has constantly reviewed the experience gained in human social development， integrated the principle of universality of human rights with national conditions in practicing socialism with Chinese characteristics， and espoused a people-centered view of human rights. China regards the rights to subsistence and development as its primary and basic human rights. It endeavors to improve the rights of all its people in a coordinated manner and works for their rounded development. Both history and present circumstances attest that China has opened a new path of human rights protection based on its national conditions， and increased the diversity of human civilizations.
　　As a key member of the international community， China raises high the banner of peace， development， cooperation， and mutual benefits， stanchly safeguarding world peace， promoting common development， and advancing development through cooperation while promoting human rights through development. It fully participates in global human rights governance， and works strenuously to advance the international cause of human rights.

　　A mechanism in which decisions are made in accordance with the law has been improved. This takes public participation， expert discussion， risk assessment， review of legality， and group discussion as legal procedures in major administrative decision-making， so as to make decision-making more reasonable， democratic and law-based. Democratic consultation is applied extensively as a mechanism at multiple levels. The content and procedure of consultation are regulated， and the forms， frequency， and effect of consultation are extending and increasing. Extensive consultation is conducted on matters concerning overall economic and social development and related to the vital interests of the people. By March 2019， the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference （CPPCC） had received 141，807 proposals and 130，299 of them were placed on file， published and transmitted 12，096 samples of public opinion， and adopted and carried out most of the proposals.
　　A public complaints reporting system has been established and improved. The national public complaints information system links public complaints and proposals administrative organs at all levels with more than 90，000 functional departments， town and township governments and sub-district offices， and 41 departments of the CPC and ministries of the central government. A people's proposal soliciting system has been set up. China provides smooth channels through which people express their opinion， offers innovative ways of public supervision， and puts in place convenient and effective online platforms for citizens to offer their views and advice， express their demands， and participate in social management in an orderly manner.
　　The Experience of Fengqiao， a town in Zhuji City， Zhejiang Province， is a good example of successful dispute resolution， by which "trivial matters are solved in the villages， major problems are settled in the town， and no conflict are passed on to the higher authorities." This model is being rolled out. People's mediation is closely linked to and synergizes with administrative， industry- and profession-based， and judicial mediation， and a diverse conflict and dispute solving mechanism is being improved， so that people can solve their problems quickly and on the site. The NPC Standing Committee carries out examinations of law enforcement. The CPPCC actively explores and improves the democratic supervision system and offers criticism and suggestions regarding problems arising in implementation of the decisions made by the Party or government.
　　China protects freedom of religious belief in accordance with the law. China follows policies on freedom of religious belief. Based on the conditions of the country and reality of its religions， China protects citizens' freedom of religious belief， builds active and healthy religious relations， and maintains religious and social harmony. In accordance with the Constitution and the law， the Chinese government supports all religions in upholding the principle of independence and self-management. It also supports religious groups， clerical personnel， and believers in managing their own religious affairs. The government manages religious affairs involving national and public interests but does not interfere in the internal affairs of religions. The state treats all religions fairly and equally， and does not exercise administrative power to encourage or ban any religion. No religion is given preferential treatment over other religions or enjoys special legal privileges. The major religions practiced in China are Buddhism， Taoism， Islam， Catholicism and Protestant Christianity， with nearly 200 million believers and more than 380，000 clerical personnel. At present， there are about 144，000 places of worship registered for religious activities and 92 religious schools in China.
