- Freedom of religious belief is “fully guaranteed.”
- The “right of ethnic minorities to equal participation” in the management of State and society is guaranteed.
- The Chinese people enjoy more “extensive democratic rights and freedoms” in accordance with the law, and “legal guarantees for human rights”
