Systematic and Theoretical Unfolding of Research on Xi Jinping's Discourses on Respecting and Protecting Human Rights

ZHANG Xinping & ZHOU Yichen

Abstract: Xi Jinping's discourses on respecting and protecting human rights stand as a shining example of the sinicization and modernization of Marxist human rights theory, embodying profound theoretical, political, practical, and cultural logic. Existing research has conducted comprehensive and systematic theoretical analysis and academic extractions on the following contents: the core essence inherent in these important discourses, including the "theory of human rights concepts," the "theory of human rights paths," the "theory of human rights practices," the "theory of human rights protection," and the "theory of human rights governance," along with their profound theoretical significance, practical significance, and global significance. In the future, researchers should emphasize efforts on studying the original texts and understanding the original principles. While focusing on the precision of concepts, the scientific nature of the propositions, the maturity of theoretical systems, and the rigor of internal logic related to Xi Jinping's discourses on respecting and protecting human rights, researchers should also pay attention to constructing a discourse system on human rights from the dimensions of discourse power, discourse cluster, and discourse field. Researchers should be adept at drawing innovative insights into human rights theory from China's vibrant human rights practices and the vast masses of people. This approach will facilitate the systematic unfolding, academic transformation, and innovative development of Xi Jinping's discourses on respecting and protecting human rights.
