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" (为中国ちゅうごく的てき人じん权进步ふ呐喊).[15] The journal is one of the main platforms for overseas Chinese liberal intellectuals (中国ちゅうごく自由じゆう知ち识分子ぶんし) to speak out[16] and is also the mainstream media of the overseas pro-democracy movement.[17]
