	Village Autonomy: A Quiet Revolution In Rural China
	A "quiet revolution" is gathering momentum in China, in which the rural masses are proving to be forerunners in the country's endeavor to improve and develop its socialist democracy. According to statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, more than 600 million rural people in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have over the past decade taken part in elections and reelections of what is known as "villagers' committees"-organs of self-government by and for the rural population.
	Views From the Embassy Row
	On the occasion of the first anniversary of the launching of the Human Rights magazine, our staff reporters interviewed the Australian, Egyptian, Hungarian and Indonesian ambassadors, and Mexican minister to China. Following are their points of view on the global and China's human rights.
	Development of China's Human Rights Cause in the Past 13 Years
	The most recent 13 years constitute a period of paramount importance in the history of human rights development in China. These years have seen the Chinese government persistently take economic construction as the core of all work and spare no effort to strengthen the building of democracy and the legal system and promote the development of spiritual civilization.
	Some Thoughts On Democracy
	The people want democracy because they need to have certain demands met and certain interests realized. They will strive for democracy when they are denied of the right to pursue their 'demands and interests. It is clear that democracy has always been associated with the people's demands and interests.
	Relationship Between Man and Nature in Traditional Human Rights Concepts of China and West
	The Western culture embraces the concept of Man's "natural rights," a concept that has been taken as the theoretical basis for studies of human rights in the West. This concept of "natural rights" is closely associated with a philosophical proposition that features centralism of the human race.
	Protecting Women's Rights and Interests, Promoting Human Rights of All
	Women's human rights are an important component part of human rights. The Chinese government has over the years made equality between men and women a basic state policy and made achievements that have attracted worldwide attention in the legislation and practice on protecting the rights of women.
