Since its founding, the People's Republic of China has led its people in making unremitting efforts to fight for dignity, and protect and develop human rights. That has helped China find a path of human rights development suited to its national conditions.

This is why China has the confidence to uphold its view of human rights and promote the improvement of global human rights governance in international forums, the latest one being Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivering a speech by video to a high-level meeting of the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council on Monday.

At a time when global peace, development, security and governance deficits are growing, the promotion and protection of human rights require the joint efforts of all. That is why the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and the initiatives on global development, security and civilization put forward by China's top leader have won extensive praise and endorsement.

China is aware that doing its own things well is the basis for its participation in global human rights governance, and that people having a happy life is the greatest human right.

From building a moderately prosperous society in all respects to building the world's largest education, social security and healthcare networks; from developing the whole-process people's democracy to improving the protection for the rights and interests of ethnic minorities, women, children, the elderly, and the disabled; from strengthened environmental protection to doubled efforts to give the people a greater sense of gain, happiness and security, China has set an example for the development of human rights in the world.

China believes that no country can impose its cultural traditions and values on others, and that all countries have the right to prioritize the development of human rights in accordance with their actual conditions.

Over the years, China has made Chinese contributions to the realization of the world vision of "human rights for all". Since its inception, the Belt and Road Initiative has fostered thousands of cooperation projects, created numerous jobs for people across countries and lifted tens of millions of people out of poverty. These achievements are China's path to promote the progress of human rights in the world.

China's efforts to promote world peace and development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity, are its major contributions to the development of world human rights.
