other means of eliminating barriers between races. CERD/C/SR.869 page 4 In respect of article 4 of the Convention, the measures listed in paragraphs 32-37 of the third report (CERD/C/153/Add.2) and paragraphs 48-50 of the fourth report (CERD/C/179/Add.l) did not seem adequate. For instance, the 1987 decision by the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress, mentioned in paragraph 37 of the third report, that China should henceforth exercise criminal jurisdiction over crimes laid down in the international treaties to which it was a party was not sufficient to fulfil the provisions of article 4 (a) of the Convention; States parties must enact special legislation, or extend their penal code, in order specifically to prohibit the dissemination of doctrines based on racial superiority and incitement to racial discrimination. He asked the representative of China to give details of the members of the State Nationality Affairs Commission referred to in paragraph 36 of the third report. In respect of article 5 of the Convention, details were given in paragraphs 38-81 of the third report and in paragraphs 51-61 of the fourth report of the legal and administrative measures taken to guarantee the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of minority groups. He hoped that the next periodic report would give more details of how successful those measures had been in practice. He asked the representative of China to provide as much information as possible about the current standard of living of the principal minority groups compared with that of the Han Chinese, including statistics relating to income, employment, education, health and access to public services. Separate statistics should be given for each group. In respect of article 6 of the Convention, he would like to know what legal redress and compensation were available in practice to persons who had suffered racial discrimination. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the measures taken by the Chinese government to eliminate racial barriers and promote equality among different racial groups, specifically in relation to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The text mentions various aspects such as legal and administrative measures, special legislation, and statistics on the living standards of minority groups. These points suggest that the category related to human rights and social justice is a good fit.
