| Summary/Abstract |
Drawing on czechoslovakia's charter 77, an informal collective of social critics who in 1977 decried human rights abuses, China's charter 08 reads: For China, the path that leads out of our current predicament is to divest ourselves of the authoritarian notion of reliance on an enlightened overload or an honest official and to turn instead toward a system of liberties, democracy, and the rule of law, and toward fortering the consciosness of modern citizens who see rights as fundamental and participation as duty.
