Description

Yang Zili currently does research and writes about migrants rights, health care and education policy reform, and human rights issues, including land seizures. The Transition Institute is a marvelous think-tank staffed by lawyers, economists, accountants, and media specialists. They combine serious policy reform work with terrific outreach to journalists, scholars, and government officials. Their work is popular with the public, but not always with public security which keeps a close watch on them. Despite this, they continue to produce first-rate analysis and are considered leaders investigating the transition to rule of law and constitutional democracy in China. Here is a link to the Chinese version of TI’s website, to the English version, and to Yang Zili’s work, in particular.
