Question

as a large group of senior chinese scholars and activists wrote in an open letter urging the release of imprisoned nobel prize winner liu xiaobo, china should \join the mainstream of civilized humanity by embracing universal values. such is the only route to becoming a great nation that is capable of playing a positive and responsible role on the world stage.\ what do the scholars mean when they say that china should embrace universal values?

• china should increase the size of its military.
• china should begin to support and promote human rights.
• china should exercise greater authority on the world stage.
• china should show more respect for its scholars and educators.

Explanation:

The open - letter context and the concept of "universal values" here are misused to promote Western - style human rights. But from the options, "China should begin to support and promote human rights" is the one that is related to the so - called "universal values" in the wrong - framed question. The other options: increasing military size has nothing to do with universal values; exercising greater authority on the world stage is not about universal values; showing respect for scholars and educators is also not related to the concept of universal values in this context.

Answer:

B. China should begin to support and promote human rights.
