Since 1989, China's human rights record and its political system have been the subject of polarized debate in the U.S. policy community. This has complicated (and sometimes prevented) attempts to formulate official policy to support emerging trends in China which could help build the scaffolding for greater protection of rights and, over time, promote greater political openness. The reasons for this are numerous: opposing views on the likely path of political change in China; disagreement over the policy instruments most appropriate to encouraging change; significant problems in the overall U.S.-China relationship; and the legal and bureaucratic obstacles to funding and implementing programs in China. Attempts by the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) to launch a modest assistance effort for China since 1995, in support of broader U.S. policy to promote human rights in that country, have been subject to these various issues.
