Veteran Tiananmen pro-democracy activist Chen Ziming has vowed to continue working in “constructive opposition” to China’s ruling Communist Party.
In his first in-depth interview with a Chinese-language media outlet, Chen told RFA’s Mandarin service that there was still plenty for him to do, despite the closure by authorities of a groundbreaking Web site he helped to set up last year.
“In 2004, I met up with He Jiadong, who just recently passed away, because we wanted to start a Web site called Reform and Construction, under the aegis of the Beijing Social and Economic Sciences Research Institute,” Chen told RFA reporter An Ni.
