Canyu (traditional Chinese: 參與; simplified Chinese: 参与; pinyin: Cānyǔ), also known as Participation[2] or Participation Network,[3] was a United States-based[4] rights protection[5] and pro-democracy website,[6] focusing on China's democracy movement,[7] human rights situation,[8] and commentary critical of the Chinese Communist Party.[9]
Canyu.org was launched in 2005[10] and was maintained by the China Free Press.[11] Due to the stand of the website, it received many cyberattacks made by hackers.[12] In January 2014, Canyu issued a statement stating that the website had been funded by the National Endowment for Democracy from 2005 to September 30, 2012.[10] As of January 2021, the website was down.[13]
