CHINA-DISSIDENTS: EXILED CHINESE DISSIDENTS SET UP NEW THINK-TANK IN US

Hongkong's South China Morning Post reported on June 2, that Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong Chi-fung will be a council member on a think tank led by Chinese dissident Wang Dan, to be launched on Monday in the United States. 'Dialogue China' is set to be established on the 29th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989.  Wang Dan, a prominent student leader during the pro-democracy movement, would head the think tank, which aims to advocate democracy in China. Other leaders of the movement, including Xiang Xiaoji, Wang Juntao, Wu’er Kaixi and Su Xiaokang would also join the organisation, along with US democracy expert Larry Diamond, veteran sinologist Perry Link and Lin Fei-fan, the leader of Taiwan’s Sunflower Student Movement.
