The Congressional-Executive Commission on China has released its 2005 Annual Report. The Commission finds no improvement overall in human rights conditions in China over the past year, and increased government restrictions on Chinese citizens who worship in state-controlled venues or write for state-controlled publications.

The Commission notes that the Chinese government continued to pursue certain judicial and criminal justice reforms that could result in improved protection of the rights of China's citizens. The Commission's 20 Legislative and Executive Branch members approved the report by a vote of 18-1, with one Commissioner answering "present."
