If you feel any website has been incorrectly included in this section, please feel free to contact the CECC with your reasons.

Human Rights/Civil Society
The CECC has been unable to locate any Internet resources based in China focusing on freedom of expression issues. General information regarding human rights issues from the Chinese government's perspective can be found at China Human Rights, and its list of links is available here.

The website of the All-China Journalists Association does not contain any information concerning freedom of expression.

The CECC welcomes suggestions for websites to be included in this category.
