Editorial standard
Evidence before assertion.
Navigation traduite · édition éditoriale en anglais
China Rights Record is an independent news and archive project. We do not treat a social-media post, anonymous claim or edited clip as established fact.
1. Find the original
We trace screenshots and reposts back to the earliest accessible post, document or recording.
2. Verify identity, time and place
We check account history, timestamps, landmarks, weather, official records and independent witnesses where available.
3. Separate claim from finding
Allegations, official responses, documentary facts and our analysis are labelled separately.
4. Protect people
We remove unnecessary personal details and do not expose private addresses, contact information or vulnerable witnesses.
5. Correct visibly
Material updates and corrections remain attached to the record with a date.
Scope and independence
The project examines actions by Chinese state and party institutions that may affect internationally recognized rights. It does not equate the Chinese government with China, Chinese culture or Chinese people. Official responses and competing evidence are included when available.
