According to the Constitutional Law of the People’s Republic of China, “citizens of the People's Republic of China, in exercising their freedoms and rights, may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society or of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens.” First of all, in the People’s Republic of China, the interests of the state, of society or of the collective are, fundamentally, in consistent with as well as include the interests of individuals. Numerous interests of individuals are pooled to become the interests of the state, of society or of the collective. Consequently, to safeguard or damage the interests of the state, of society or of the collective is, correspondingly, to safeguard or damage the interests of individuals. Notwithstanding that the consistency of interests of individuals with the interests of the state, of society or of the collective is advocated as a whole and in essence at all, there exists discrepancy in part or from the aspect of the non-fundamental interests. Due to the fact that citizens have the personal special interests for a certainty and based upon the differences from the aspects of the citizens’ personal way of thinking, ethics, and cultural essence, there may occur interest conflicts when citizens improperly exercise their freedoms and rights. In order to prevent such interest conflicts, any and all of citizens shall restrain their own freedoms and interests within the domain that the law allows. And, all of citizens of the People’s Republic of China are equal, and their freedoms and rights are peer to peer. Only mutual protection can assure the mutual realization of rights.
