Chinese government should uphold the law and eliminate discrimination

While it is difficult enough for the Chinese government to maintain appropriate balance between pleasing both domestic and international audiences, at stake is whether there is justice in China.

Many of China’s policies are discriminative, such as the family planning, religions, and household registration system, etc. The discriminations generally fall on Han people and people living in rural areas.

Chinese government can make its life easier by eliminating discriminations in its system.

Chinese government should improve its skills in dealing with both domestic and international people. There is nothing wrong in upholding justice and against violence, irrespective who are against the law and what ethnic groups they are from.
