Summary:

China's vast population contains a large number of disadvantaged or minority groups. This unique book outlines what legal protection each minority group receives under Chinese law, together with a helpful comparative study on Chinese national and regional laws. Ground-breaking and detailed, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the various disparate aspects of minority rights protection in China, such as current anti-discrimination policy, the implementation of international standards for minority protection, and domestic legal protection for non-Chinese and ethnic minority groups.
