Although there are high-sounding guarantees of basic individual rights in PRC legislation and its constitution, there is no mechanism for enforcing those rights protection. There is especially no mechanism whatsoever for holding accountable the Chinese Communist Party, which entirely dominates the government, military, police, courts, and giant public sector of the economy. Therefore, the so-called PRC rights protections are essentially a dead letter, since the whim of a Party official trumps anything and everything else.
