The China Democracy Party (CDP; simplified Chinese: 中国民主党; traditional Chinese: 中國民主黨; pinyin: Zhōngguó Mínzhǔ Dǎng), also known as the Democracy Party of China (DPC),[1] is a political party that started in the People's Republic of China, and was banned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[2] The history of the DPC and its foundation date is unclear because it has many historical paths under different groups of founders. According to western sources, it is generally recognized to have assembled in 1998 by democracy activists and former student leaders from the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.[2][3]
