Club in Washington, D.C., appealing to the U. S. government and the
international community to help bring Gao Zhisheng to the U.S. to
receive medical treatment and reunite with his family.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
My husband Gao Zhisheng is a Chinese lawyer. Throughout his career,
he has been dedicated to defending the rights of disadvantaged

Finally, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) Central
Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) has initiated the
long-awaited action of taking down Zhou Yongkang. This intense
political drama, titled “The Battle at Zhongnanhai,” started in
early 2012 when Wang Lijun, then the Chongqing police chief,
attempted to defect to the U.S. It was followed by the downfall of
Bo Xilai, Xu Caihou, and over 40 high ranking officials. It finally
climaxed in the caging of the Zhou “tiger.”

Following the downfall of Xu Caihou, vice chairman of the
Central Military Commission, the leading Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) mouthpieces released articles implying thatXu’s boss is a
party-leader-level “super big tiger”. Commentators claim that,
former CCP leader Jiang Zemin had used corruption and blackmail to
make party and military officers loyal to him. As Jiang’s followers
fall from their positions one by one they must have confessed their
connection with Jiang. If so, the...

A Chinese state media article has defined the pro-democracy
movement as a cult and criticized liberal intellectuals, insistent
lawyers, and democracy activists, calling them heretics. The
article sparked public outcry. Many believe the characteristics of
a cult as explained in the article best describe the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP).
On June 11, the online version of CCP mouthpiece Qiushi Magazine,
qstheory.cn, published a commentary entitled, "Why The
Pro-Democracy Movement Is...

It has been 25 years since the Tiananmen massacre. And while the
memory of the government's bloody crack down on protesters is alive
in the minds of many, the anniversary is likely to go unnoticed in
Chinese media. The media blackout is a strong reminder of how, 25
years after the events of the spring of 1989, China's leaders have
yet to respond to one of the protesters' key demands - the call for
press freedom.
During the 1989 protests, when journalists joined the students

Since 2000, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s official media
and hospitals across China started to report an explosive increase
in the number of transplantations. The annual number increased from
fewer than 100 transplants to over 10,000 transplants. Such a
phenomenon has generated many questions, with the organ source
being the most frequent question asked. However, the CCP has been
very tight-lipped about the organ sources. In 2006, when the CCP’s
illicit organ procurement was
