Description
Over the past decade, infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, have been recognized by the international community as a threat to the security of individual states and regions. On 17 July 2000, the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1308 which stressed “that the HIV/AIDS pandemic, if unchecked, may pose a risk to stability and security.” Some experts warn that China is on the verge of an AIDS "catastrophe" and could face 20 million HIV sufferers by the year 2010 unless effective interventions are carried out.
In this context, China AIDS Survey aims to provide historical and analytical resources for relevant HIV/AIDS stakeholders, including educational and advocacy groups, government and civil society actors, and policy / media organizations, a diverse database dedicated to the AIDS crisis in China. China AIDS Survey consists of:
Since the launch of Deng Xiaoping’s "Four Modernizations" campaign in 1979, China has become an important member of the global community, emerged as the center of the Asia-Pacific region and enjoys the world’s fastest growing economy. The exponential expansion in Chinese trade has been paralleled by a huge increase in the influx of business travelers and tourists into and from China. These external trends have been mirrored by an increased freedom of movement within China itself. This increased regional role coupled with the its growing global contacts makes understanding and preventing the spread of emerging infectious diseases in China, particularly HIV/AIDS, a strategic imperative for the nations around the world.
