Yang Yun (杨云) is also identified in historical records as Yang Yuting (杨雨亭). Cross-source evidence — first-person recollections from movement participants, the Chinese Alliance for Democracy’s own ten-year history, a first-person interview with Yang Yuting, and independent historical scholarship on the overseas Chinese democracy movement — supports that the two names refer to the same individual.

The evidence record places Yang in China Spring–related organizing beginning in 1982. Independent scholarship identifies Yang as a Taiwanese participant in the movement’s first world congress who was elected to the alliance’s headquarters committee, and as a later chair of the alliance’s San Francisco branch. A first-person interview additionally points to a later Taiwan-liaison role. The exact committee category and title remain dependent on verification against the original congress election record in China Spring issue 10, which has been located but not page-verified.
