HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHINA

This website is primarily focused on the human rights movements coming out of Hong Kong. Although it is not explicitly stated, it is pretty obvious that this website is against the Communist Party that remains in power in China. The website is binational; with offices in Hong Kong and in New York City.
The site is pretty effective because it provides many photos, videos, interviews, blogs and even a space (Citizen’s Square) where people can dialogue with each other to discuss current day issues in China. Even celebrities are featured on the site because of their support for what has become known as the Umbrella Movement. They have stated their criticisms of the Chinese government and their solidarity with the movement.
The site is a good site for students to use to research about the concerns that some people in Hong Kong and in the mainland have about the human rights abuses of the government. However, because the site and the organization behind it are advocates against the government, students cannot get a fair and balanced account of the different political perspectives in China from this site. In terms of layout and design, the site is pretty user friend so I think that the students would not have problems navigating this site. I would be able to use this with a Government class where we would research about human rights violations in different countries.
