继中国民主党浙江筹备委员会于一九九八年六月二十五日申请注册后，六月三十日朱虞夫单独上街散发《中国民主党成立宣言》被抓，香港“中国人权民运信息中心”卢四清发了新闻稿，但是没有引起太大反响，朱虞夫在杭州凯旋派出所“留置”二天后释放。中共于七月九日陆续开始了对浙江民主党人的大抓捕，这次大抓捕激起了海内外媒体的极大反响。联合国人权委员会玛丽·罗宾逊女士的关注，迫使中共释放了被捕人士。中共的强力镇压并没有让中国的民主人士屈服，反而激发了他们的斗志，开展了一系列的声援、救援。山东筹委会的申请成立更将这场民主党人对自由民主的执著追求推向更高的一个层次。

Support for the China Democracy Party at Home and Abroad – Establishment of the Shandong Preparatory Committee
Author: Yuan Jue (Minister of Party History and Regulations, China Democracy Party)
Editor: Zhu Yufu Chief Editor: Luo Zhifei
After the China Democracy Party Zhejiang Preparatory Committee applied for registration on June 25, 1998, on June 30 Zhu Yufu went out alone to distribute the Declaration on the Founding of the China Democracy Party and was arrested. Lu Siqing of the Hong Kong–based “Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy in China” issued a press release, but it did not initially attract much attention. Zhu Yufu was “detained” for two days at the Kaixuan Police Station in Hangzhou before being released.
On July 9, the CCP began a large-scale crackdown on Zhejiang democracy activists. This wave of arrests triggered strong reactions from overseas media. The attention of Mary Robinson, then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, forced the CCP to release those arrested. The regime’s heavy-handed repression did not break the will of China’s democrats; instead, it inspired greater resolve, leading to a series of support and rescue efforts. The application to establish the Shandong Preparatory Committee further elevated the determination of China Democracy Party members in their pursuit of freedom and democracy.
Some members of the Zhejiang Democracy Party:
Front row: Wang Rongqing, Lü Gengsong, Hu Yuanming
Middle row: Zou Wei, Hu Chen, Chen Kaiping, Qi Huimin
Back row: Chen Shuqing, Wu Yilong, Mao Qingxiang, Lai Jinbiao
Establishment of the Legal Aid Association for the “China Democracy Party Case”
The Legal Aid Association issued a five-point statement, including:
To uphold the dignity of the Constitution and the law, and to ensure that citizens’ political freedoms are not infringed, some lawyers voluntarily formed the “Legal Aid Association” to provide free defense for Wang Youcai, Wang Donghai, and others.
They declared that the actions of Wang Youcai, Wang Donghai, and others in applying to establish the “China Democracy Party” were conducted in accordance with the Constitution and legal procedures. These actions were lawful and not prohibited by law.
They demanded the immediate release of all those involved in the party-formation case.

Establishment of the “China Democracy Party Overseas Support Association”
Human rights and pro-democracy activists at home and abroad joined forces to support the China Democracy Party’s founding movement, hoping to break through the CCP’s party ban and accelerate China’s democratic process.
The New York–based “China Democracy and Justice Party” announced that it had joined with 18 overseas pro-democracy groups to form the China Democracy Party Overseas Support Association, working together with domestic dissidents to challenge the ban and advance the democratic movement.
Xu Shui-liang, overseas spokesperson of the China Democracy Party, said the establishment of the Support Association received warm responses from various pro-democracy organizations. The association was formed around three points of consensus:
To establish the China Democracy Party Overseas Support Association.
The Support Association would be based on existing democracy organizations but open to individuals and groups from all sectors.
The Support Association would be a temporary coalition, with each organization appointing liaison officers and individuals to form a consultative group to coordinate support activities.
Groups participating in the Overseas Support Association included:
The Alliance for Democracy in China (Minlian Zhen)
China Democracy Party (Wang Ruowang)
China Democracy and Justice Party
China Democratic Solidarity Alliance
China Strategic Research Institute
China Spring
Beijing Spring
The Overseas Support Association was authorized by domestic members of the China Democracy Party. In July 1998, Zhu Zhengming and others of the Zhejiang Preparatory Committee issued an authorization letter to overseas supporters.
