The development of the legal system for the protection of economic，social and cultural rights in China in 2010 shows that China has made rapid progress in human rights protection in the past 30 years since the reform and opening up. China promotes the equal enjoyment of economic，social and cultural rights，prohibits discrimination，and gives special protection to disadvantaged groups. The protection of the right to work，the right to adequate living standard，and the right to education in China has already met or basically met the requirements set out in the International Covenant on Economic，Social and Cultural Rights. Nevertheless，China is still faced with serious challenges and need to intensify its efforts in safeguarding human rights.
