Stability preservation (weiwen) has long been an imperative of Chinas one-party state. At the same time, China has recently embedded a commitment to the protection of human rights in its constitution. This book examines the multiple and shifting ways in which weiwen impinges on the implementation of human rights. Using case studies, Sarah Biddulph methodically examines the states response to labour unrest, medical disputes, and forced housing evictions. As she demonstrates, the states reaction can vary from taking steps to ameliorate the underlying causes of the citizens grievances to the repression of rights-related protests and the punishment of protestors. The Stability Imperative: Human Rights and Law in China reveals how the systematic failure of the legal system to protect rights coupled with an overemphasis on coercive forms of stability preservation is undermining the authority of law in China and could, ultimately, damage the Communist Partys leadership.
