Wang Dan, head of the U.S.-based think tank Dialogue China, recently revealed to this station that the organization will launch a “pull list” project with the “China Coolie Reporting and Clearing Center” and “Light Media”. The organization, along with the China Cool Officials Reporting Center and Light Media, will launch a “pull list” project to collect information on the CCP’s grassroots officials who commit crimes.
According to Wang Dan, head of the Dialogue China think tank, the organization will launch a “pull list” project targeting Chinese officials: “Our ‘pull list The target of this project is mainly grassroots officials. Because one of the ideas we care about is ‘banal evil,’ and we think ‘banal evil’ is actually a very important force that supports the totalitarian system. We have to fight against such ‘banal evil’.”
Wang Dan said the project will target “grassroots officials who violate human rights, especially those in the judicial system.” He has entrusted New York-based activist Chen Chongchuang with the task of promoting the project.
Chen told reporters that in 2013, Wang Dan, Hu Ping, Yu Jie and other pro-democracy activists started a website called “La-List” to document the CCP’s misdeeds. The “pull list” project, which will be launched soon, will collect information on a wide range of evil officials in China. While the project targets mainly grassroots officials, information on senior CCP officials, including Xi Jinping, will also be collected, and for grassroots officials: “The small officials who actually do things at the local level, such as the Beijing State Security who arrested Li Qiaochu and threatened to talk to her, or the small police officers at the police stations like the one in Henan who surrounded Jiang Tianyong’s lawyer at home. If there are specific acts, we will of course also collect and include this information.”
Chen also revealed that he has formed a project team that will hold its first team meeting on May 8. The project team is considering how to publish the information they have collected on officials, which may be published on the social networking software Telegram, the social networking site Reddit or on media websites.
Chen also told reporters about the composition of the project team, saying that they are all volunteers: “We are all passionate and interested in the meaning of the project. Of course, I also saw that some people who had a greater interest in the project and had similar experience and experience also expressed their willingness to cooperate.”
In addition to the Dialogue China think tank, which initiated the project, teams such as Light Media and the China Coolie Reporting and Clearing Center will also join and collaborate on the project.
Li Chuanliang, the founder of the Center for the Reporting of Chinese Cool Officials, who now lives in Los Angeles, said the group has collected a lot of information on Chinese cool officials since its inception: “The Center for the Reporting of Chinese Cool Officials is based on Mr. Wang Dan’s idea of ‘pulling a list. ‘ idea, which was announced on World Human Rights Day, December 10, 2020. From its establishment to now, it has also received many reports (reflecting the tyranny of coolies).”
Li Chuanliang revealed that the Chinese coolies currently at his team’s disposal cover a wide range of people, including leading personnel at all levels of authority, secretaries and personnel of political and legal committees at all levels, personnel of the public security system, judicial system, procuratorate system, religious bureau system at all levels, financial auditors, and many township, village and street level personnel. The cool-headed behavior of these personnel includes handling cases in a triadic manner, corruptly handling cases, fabricating charges, extracting confessions under torture, looting people’s money, suppressing freedom of expression, religious persecution, and violently demolishing houses. After that, information on cool officials who violated human rights in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong will also be among their collection.
Wang Dan said the information collected by the “pull list” project will be provided to the U.S. government: “On the issue of sanctions, I think making such a list public will be a kind of public pressure on them, or a kind of moral sanction. In addition, of course, we will also regularly provide the names on the list with the relevant U.S. agencies, from the State Department to Congress, and also to them.
