China Focus. China promotes "tech for good" to safeguard human rights

At the 2026 Forum on Global Human Rights Governance, Jaber Alsalaj picked up the English and Arabic copies of the National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2026-2030). His sights were fixed on a chapter: creating a better digital and intelligent life.

This keen interest was far from a sudden impulse. Days before the forum, Alsalaj, senior advisor with the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, took a field trip to east China's Zhejiang Province.

In Zhejiang, he saw firsthand how cutting-edge technology is changing people's lives. The experience inspired him to dive deeper into China's strategic vision. He told Xinhua that China's efforts to use technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to advance human rights protection, are brilliant.
