520. China thanked all countries for their active participation in the universal periodic review
dialogue, and noted that quite a number of them had spoken highly of China’s human rights
endeavours and achievements while putting forward many valuable recommendations. China
regarded the review process as an opportunity to listen to other countries and to further promote
and protect the human rights of its people. China had carefully examined all recommendations
and accepted those that were compatible with its realities. Following the review, China had
established an inter-agency task force, comprising more than 20 departments, and had
formulated concrete implementation plans, with input from non-governmental organizations and
academic institutions.
