Cao Changqing (曹长青) is a Chinese dissident journalist and writer who later established a long public career in the United States. Human-rights reporting identifies him as a former deputy editor-in-chief of Shenzhen Youth and records publication-related repression in 1987. Later sources also identify him as a U.S.-based writer and commentator and record his inclusion on a PRC re-entry blacklist.
Some historical details concerning his 1989 activities and exact press positions remain subject to further documentary verification and are not stated here more precisely than the available evidence supports.
