Abstract
Research undertaken in the village of Beishadao, China, indicates that Chinese socialism posed a considerable challenge to the oppression suffered by some Chinese women, even if men's patriarchal privilege was not completely eliminated. Against this background, it would be wrong to assume that Chinese women have been constant victims. It is possible to argue that the socialist gender ideology as seen in the image of the 'Iron Girl' is situated in discursive sites.

Abstract
The development of market socialism in China has generated serious human rights violations. Employers are ignoring the standards established in China's 1995 labor law, particularly regarding occupational safety and health. Collective bargaining and freedom of association are punished by intimidation and imprisonment, and policing of employee activities is common. The country's large pool of laborers may encourage violations, as employees are therefore not difficult to replace.

Abstract
The Communist Party of China's (CPC's) 15th National Congress in Sep 1997 focused on the development of reformist Deng Xiaoping's socialist construction theory. The conference, held in Beijing, China, was the first since Deng's death. Deng aimed to make China a relatively developed country by around the year 2050, with the congress keen to pursue his theory, basing it on the CPC's own experiences and ideologies. Deng's theory of socialism incorporates Chinese characteristics and is perceived as scientifically correct for China's situation.

The president of the Chinese Society for Human Rights Studies maintains that development of socialism in China can promote the nation's human rights and sovereignty.

Abstract
China is trying to balance its socialist ideals with market economics in its government-owned businesses, to little or no avail. Virtually all of them are now losing money as their output falls and they are unable to lay off workers.
