Human Rights in China Biweekly is a newsletter of news and opinions [13] that are banned and censored in the Mainland China. [14] Since its founding, the magazine has been repeatedly paralysed by cyberattacks made by hackers from Mainland China. [10] The mission of the HRIC Biweekly is to "advocate for the progress of human rights in China" (为中国的人权进步呐喊). [15] The journal is one of the main platforms for overseas Chinese liberal intellectuals (中国自由知识分子) to speak out [16] and is also the mainstream media of the overseas pro-democracy movement. [17]
The first issue of Human Rights in China Biweekly was published on 1 June 2009, as a result of the merger of the former monthly magazine Human Beings and Human Rights (人与人权) and the weekly magazine Huaxia Electronics Post (华夏电子报). [10]
