Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey has warned that while China’s economy is booming, the country’s respect for human rights still needs to be improved.

“But there still remain big challenges, particularly regarding protection of minorities, religious freedom and freedom of expression, torture and the death penalty,” she said.
