Yang Qing / 杨青 was identified by independent human-rights reporting as one of five veteran dissidents who established the Beijing China Democracy Party Preparatory Committee on September 16, 1998.
1998 Beijing organizing
Human Rights in China and Human Rights Watch independently identify Yang Qing among the participants in the September 16 formation of the Beijing preparatory committee. The evidence supports describing Yang as a founder or participant in that preparatory body. A more specific title should not be inferred without the original formation or registration records.
Evidence status
The current independent baseline is centered on Human Rights in China and Human Rights Watch reporting concerning the 1998 Beijing committee episode. Exact-name research has not yet produced a reliable person-specific custody chronology or a sufficiently secure later biography.
Primary-source targets include the original September 16 formation statement, the planned September 18 registration materials, identity and biographical records, and any police or custody documentation.
Identity control
Yang Qing is a common name. This profile is limited to the veteran dissident associated with the 1998 Beijing China Democracy Party preparatory effort and should not be conflated with unrelated people of the same name.
