Human Rights in China has led the research field on human rights issues in China for over fifteen years, due in part to the expertise of our staff, but also due to the networks of contacts we maintain inside China to ensure that we have access to the latest and most accurate information.
HRIC's research covers a wide range of advocacy tools, including reports, trends bulletins, briefing papers and short reports on topical issues. HRIC's quarterly journal, China Rights Forum has become the flagship of our outreach to English-speaking media and policy makers.
In 2009, HRIC's regular Chinese online publications, the monthly journal Ren Yu Ren Quan and the weekly newsletter Huaxia Dianzi Bao, were combined into the HRIC Biweekly Chinese Journal. This regular online outlet provides a forum where Chinese democracy, public health, and labor activists, scholars, religious, and ethnic voices can join in conversation safely.
A selection of HRIC's reports and books are available on this web site. Hard copies of all of HRIC's publications can be obtained by e-mailing communications@hrichina.org.
