About this project
About Key29
Key29 documents how the Chinese Communist Party exercises power, how that power reaches institutions and everyday life, and what the available evidence can—and cannot—establish.
Our purpose
Our purpose is direct: let the world understand the CCP, while making clear that the CCP does not represent the Chinese people. The site separates the Party, the state, institutions, officials, policies, and affected individuals instead of treating China as a single political actor.
How the archive works
Articles explain structures and mechanisms; case files reconstruct events; institution and event records connect the evidence; the glossary defines recurring political language. Sources, uncertainty, disputes, and evidentiary limits remain visible so readers can check the reasoning.
Editorial principles
- Evidence before rhetoric.
- Fact, allegation, testimony, and interpretation are labeled separately.
- Corrections remain part of the record.
- No claim that the CCP and the Chinese people are the same.
