From China Daily, via People’s Daily Online:
Farmers, the physically challenged and people with infectious diseases are the three groups of people who face the most discrimination in China, indicates a survey released in Beijing yesterday.
The study was conducted by the Constitutional Research Institute (CRI) of the Chinese University of Politics and Law and polled 3,500 people in 10 big cities, CRI Director Cai Dingjian said.
About 65 percent of the people said the physically challenged were discriminated against, and about 45 percent thought farmers-turned-workers in cities were subjected to the same treatment. Nearly 63 percent of those polled said HIV/AIDS patients faced bias, and almost 55 percent believed people infected hepatitis B suffered the same fate. [Full Text]
