Wang Dan: A man of bold courage in the face of CCP-sponsored brutality at the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.
A student at Peking University, and only 20 years old, Wang helped spark what grew into one of the largest pro-democracy demonstrations in modern history. This earned him a spot on the most-wanted student protest leaders list by the Chinese Communist Party. Twice arrested by the Chinese government, Wang was exiled to the United States in 1998 and has continued his political activism to speak critically of the CCP.
The Select Committee stands with the heroes – both renowned and unsung - of the Chinese people’s pursuit of freedom and democracy.
