Canonical identity and classification
Dong Qian / 冬钱 is the source form used for a Henan China Democracy Party organizer active in early 1999. The available record does not establish whether 冬钱 is a legal name, pen name, or other name form, so it is preserved exactly as documented.
Biography and organizations
A Radio Free Asia interview dated 3 February 1999 identified Dong Qian as a responsible leader of the newly announced Henan branch of the China Democracy Party. A later source-attributed reproduction of the 6 February 1999 CDP United Headquarters notice lists 冬钱 among both the 31-member Headquarters Committee and the separately enumerated 11-member Executive Committee.
Dated principal activities
- 3 February 1999: interviewed by RFA in connection with the newly announced Henan CDP branch and identified as a responsible leader.
- 6 February 1999: listed in a later reproduction of the United Headquarters notice as a Headquarters Committee and Executive Committee member. The original notice has not yet been recovered.
Documented impact
The RFA interview provides person-level contemporary evidence connecting Dong directly to provincial CDP organization, rather than relying solely on a later roster. The reproduced headquarters notice indicates broader organizational involvement but remains subject to primary-document verification.
Representative works and core viewpoints
RESEARCH PENDING. The RFA interview is a priority source for extracting Dong’s own words and views. No broader political position is attributed until the interview text and any other first-person writings are reviewed directly.
Verified quotation
RESEARCH PENDING. No quotation is reproduced until exact wording, source and date are verified.
Custody and current status
No reliable custody chronology has been recovered for this identity. No claim is made about detention, release, exile, death, present residence, or current organizational role. Fresh-status check: unresolved as of September 2026.
