The People's Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state whose sole ruling party is the Chinese Communist Party.

China is one of the world’s most restrictive governments. People do not have the right to free speech or free assembly. The internet is censored. Speaking out against the government is prohibited, and those who dissent are subject to imprisonment and torture. Allegiance to the Communist Party is above personal rights.

China represses Christian, Tibetan Buddhist, Uyghur Muslim, and Falun Gong religious groups. In particular, China is holding up to a million Uyghurs and other Muslims in internment camps.

China is a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine, according to a recent NATO statement.
