Class Action Lawsuit Against Wechat

We believe that Tencent has become the technology shackle for the CCP to restrict the freedom of the people. What Tencent has been doing domestically and overseas constitutes a serious violation to human rights and violates Chinese, American laws as well as the international law. We must start a battle for the freedom of speech, taking a stand against WeChat. By doing so, we can open space for the freedom of speech in China. Citizen Power Initiatives for China officially is starting a class action lawsuit against WeChat (Tencent) in the United States.

Research: China And The Pandemic

This is a comprehensive report on how the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has already killed over half-a-million people, including 134,000 Americans, could have been avoided had the Chinese Communist Party acted in an honest and responsible manner. This book, currently available in Chinese, analyzes how the Chinese Communist Party responded to the virus, especially in the critical month between December 26, 2019 and January 25, 2020.

Based on meticulous analysis of data, much of it directly from sources in China, the report establishes a day-by-day, objective record documenting how Chinese authorities, from the top leadership to local governments, from biomedical institutions to public health administrations, from official media to foreign affairs functionaries, responded to the epidemic.

Yibao Magazine

Founded in 2001, Yibao Magazine (previously known as Chinaeweekly.com) hosts thousands of exclusive articles for the Chinese audience. It remains as one of the oldest running online magazines of Chinese dissident community.

Forced Labor in Uyghur Region

Our team led by Dr. Han Lianchao published a report, Cotton: The Fabric Full of Lies, on forced and prison labor in Xinjiang in August 2019. One of the key conclusions is that there is presence of forced labor at many steps of the cotton supply chain and some of these products have entered into international commerce, including the U.S. and European markets. Recently the U.S. State Department, Dept. of Treasury, Dept. of Commerce, and Dept. of Homeland Seucirty issued a joint advisory which cited the report on its findings. 

Wuhan Memo – Timeline

CPIFC Team has put together a comprehensive timeline that documented the most crucial days of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. Such report contains the daily record for epidemic development and global countermeasure strategies. We sincerely hope it provides a panoramic index and guide for analyzing the development of the epidemic.

The unveiling ceremony was held infront of the U.S. Capitol, on the 30th Anniversary of 1989 Tiananmen Square Student Movement. There, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Dr. Yang Jianli unveiled the statue to public for the first time.

Interethnic Interfaith Leadership Conferences

The InterEthnic/Interfaith Leadership Conferences, founded by CPIFC with guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, seeks to advance mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation among the diverse ethnic, religious, cultural, and regional groups directly involved with P.R.China. It also aims to explore universal values and the common ground supporting a united front to advance democracy and human rights for all.

Tiananmen – UNESCO Memory of World

The project collects the documentary heritage of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre, and nominate this heritage to be inscribed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World (MoW.) Our aim is not only to preserve that heritage, but also to fight against Beijing’s efforts to impose collective amnesia about Tiananmen.
