Chinese scholars and experts of human rights met Friday at a human rights symposium to discuss how to improve the all-around development of Chinese human rights under the guidance of scientific development.

Experts said China's human rights situation has undergone positive changes after struggling for more than half a century.

Currently, different groups or individuals in China enjoy different levels of human rights, as unbalanced social, economic and cultural development still prevails between China's urban and rural areas and among China's eastern, central and western regions, experts acknowledged.

Therefore, the central government proposes the concept of scientific development and Chinese human rights development in an all-around way, which is also conducive to human rights studies and publicity.

At the symposium, experts brought forth their own views relating to their own teaching experiences and scientific research.

Experts held that human rights studies should follow the times and apply a scientific spirit to explore truth under the guidance of Marxism.

December 10, 2005, Saturday, is the commemoration day of the 57th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The symposium, honoring the anniversary, was held jointly by China Society for Human Rights Studies and Human Studies Society of elite Beijing University.
