Media Profile & Archive — Yang Zaixing

Source chronology and evidentiary record for Yang Zaixing (杨在行), a Guizhou democracy activist connected to the 1998 China Democracy Party organizing network. See the canonical person profile.

Chronology of documented activity

  • By the mid-1990s: Movement-history evidence identifies Yang as active as a Guiyang democracy dissident.
  • Mid-1990s: Memoir evidence reports recurring security harassment. No reliable sentence or longer detention chronology has been established.
  • 1998: Later China Democracy Party archival roster material places Yang among Guizhou national-preparatory contacts, supporting continuity between his earlier activism and the provincial organizing network.

Source provenance

The documented record rests on two source lineages preserved in the canonical profile: democracy-movement memoir/history, and later CDP/Beijing Spring roster material. The underlying primary documents were not directly opened during preparation, so claims remain bounded to what the existing record establishes.

Conflicts and limits

  • Formal office: not established. Roster placement is not treated as evidence of a formal CDP office or tenure.
  • No custody chronology: recurring harassment is documented, but no reliable sentence or detention record has been established.
  • Current status unknown: no dated evidence supports a claim of current custody, release, exile, death, or residence.
  • Independent contemporaneous reporting: none identified in the prepared evidence.
