[IWS] CECC: [CHINA] ANNUAL REPORT 2009 (Human Rights) [16 October 2009]]
by Eugene McElroy 22 Oct '09

CONGRESSIONAL-EXECUTIVE COMMISSION ON CHINA [CHINA] ANNUAL REPORT 2009 [16 October 2009] http://www.cecc.gov/pages/annualRpt/annualRpt09/CECCannRpt2009.pdf [full-text, 448 pages] [excerpt] This report documents, in each of its sections, the challenges and opportunities that exist for China to create a more open society with greater respect for human rights, transparency, and the rule of law. The report also demonstrates the importance of the Commissions Political Prisoner Database, a unique, powerful, and publicly available resource on which the Commission relies for advocacy and research work, including the preparation of this Annual Report. The human rights issues underlying political imprisonment and detention are numerous. Instances of human rights violations and resulting imprisonment form a pattern of systematic repression the Chinese Government should demonstrate its commitment to international standards by reversing this pattern. The Commission intends that the detailed contents of this report may serve as a roadmap for progress. By documenting human rights violations in this report and in the Commissions Political Prisoner Database, by advocating in meetings with Chinese officials on behalf of political prisoners, by raising public awareness of human rights and rule of law issues, and by placing these issues on the agendas of bilateral and multilateral meetings, the United States Government establishes a baseline for measuring progress. Some of those who supported establishing permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with China in 2000 believed that PNTR would improve the prospects that the Chinese Government would fulfill its commitments to international human rights standardsbut the Chinese Government has yet to live up to those commitments. Holding the Chinese Government accountable to its international commitments and to its own laws, when those laws meet international standards, is an essential element of the roadmap for progress.

Inequality as Policy: The United States Since 1979
by Eugene McElroy 20 Oct '09

Inequality as Policy: The United States Since 1979 Share Share October 2009, John Schmitt Since the end of the 1970s, the United States has seen a dramatic increase in economic inequality. While the United States has long been among the most unequal of the worlds rich economies, the economic and social upheaval that began in the 1970s was a striking departure from the movement toward greater equality that began in the Great Depression, continued through World War II, and was a central feature of the first 30 years of the postwar period. This is not due to chance circumstances but is the direct result of a set of policies designed first and foremost to increase inequality. http://www.cepr.net/index.php/publications/reports/inequality-policy/ -- Eugene McElroy Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations Library 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 732-932-9513 tel: 732-932-9513 ********
