Wang, Juntao (王军涛, born in 1958) Juntao, Wang or simply Juntao is a Chinese political activist. He was imprisoned between 1991 to 1994. He then went to the United States and completed a PhD at Columbia University. He's one of the leading activist against the PRC and has been advocating for Chinese civil rights since the early 1980s. He currently resides in New Jersey. He carries out his work in Flushing, Queens. He spoke out against many unjust Chinese policies on television and the internet.
He was detained by the Chinese Government right after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 or June Fourth Incident. His group of economic reformists and newspaper publishers were deemed as the Black Hand, an clandestine group active in Europe. The allegation incriminated Juntao and his colleagues. After capture, he stayed in a brainwashing jail in Beijing until President Bill Clinton asked for his release for medical purposes in 1994. Juntao is one of the many Chinese dissidents who cannot enter mainland China.
Wang Juntao is a friend of fellow activist Wang Dan.
Juntao was one of the recipients of Science and Human Rights Reception.[1] He is awarded for his works in nuclear physics and the development of human rights activism in a globally dominated world.
Early life
Juntao came from a prominent family which was a member of the leaders and heroes of the Chinese revolution.
Education
In China, Juntao attended Peking University and acquired his Scientiæ Baccalaureus in nuclear physics. Juntao went to Harvard University and got his Master's Degree in public administration. Soon after completing his masters, he went to Columbia University to earn his Ph.D in political science. He has written many famous articles on Chinese revolution, reform movement, economic development, and etc.
Early Work
Juntao published independent magazine called the ''Beijing Spring''.[2] With some colleagues, he also established the largest Chinese think tank at the time.
Current Agenda
“Before China entered the WTO, many experts believed that the WTO and globalization would change China. But the way Chinese experts see it, China will change the world through the WTO,” Dr Wang told The Epoch Times.
“China has good skilled labor and very low salaries. But who maintains the low salary? The government, the state. They do not grant labor union rights. They just help the big companies to get their profit and lobby Western countries.”
Juntao believes that China can maintains its economic development and global presence. However, he believes that the human rights proportion of the Chinese people cannot be neglected for the sole purpose of economic wealth. The revision of the PRC mandate to imprison and put away potentially disruptive citizens is outrageously denounced by Juntao and his political party. He has been advocating for the release of Liu Xiaobo and other notorious Chinese activists who have been sacked, house arrested, and politically suppressed. His twitter account often states that a whole of the Chinese Government cannot be trusted if a single component of it is insignificantly neglected or overlooked by the politburo.
Private Life
Juntao resides in New Jersey with his wife and two children.
