ABSTRACT
The French slogans of Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood in turn expand on the American aspirations for human freedom. Subsequently, to guarantee these principles and a concept of human rights, Americans adopted the Bill of Rights as a part of their new Constitution. A system of human rights is also seen by many as a sine qua non for the success of internationalism in a peaceful world. Since the People's Republic of China became estranged from the Soviet Onion in the 1960s while it was under Mao Zedong's rule, Western nations have at times looked upon China as a nation that is of interest almost exclusively because it is anti-Soviet and therefore have downgraded the importance of how the Chinese people have fared under communist rule. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
