China’s communist party is an authoritarian regime that has no regard for human rights. 2022 is set to be a particularly dire year for human rights in China. NCHRD had this information. Here is an excerpt:

In Hong Kong, over 200 police officers raided one of the last remaining independent news outlets, Stand News. On the Mainland, authorities subjected a prominent dissident intellectual, Guo Feixiong, and human rights lawyer, Tang Jitian, to enforced disappearance, put on trial five Christians, a human rights activist, and a human rights lawyer. 

Taken together, these acts of human rights violations signal that there will be little change in 2022 from the bleak human rights situation in 2021.
