How China Hijacks the International Human Rights System

  • An international investigation revealed that China deploys government-organized NGOs to monitor and intimidate human rights activists at the UN in Geneva as of early 2025.
  • This effort stems from Beijing's broader campaign to obscure its human rights abuses and reshape the global narrative around its record.
  • The China Targets investigation revealed that since 2018, the count of NGOs from China officially recognized by the UN has almost doubled, with many of these organizations maintaining strong connections to the Chinese government and Communist Party.
  • A 2022 report by the previous United Nations human rights chief highlighted allegations of potential "crimes against humanity" in Xinjiang, while pro-China government-linked NGOs at the Human Rights Council offer narratives that challenge the UN's findings.
  • As a result, Chinese activists face ongoing surveillance and intimidation inside and outside the UN, discouraging participation and raising concerns about the undermining of international human rights frameworks.
