I removed Lai Changxing from this list. The Merriam-Webster online definition of dissident is :"disagreeing especially with an established religious or political system, organization, or belief". I don't know why Lai Changxing fits into this category. Although the accusation of the Chinese government is arguable, it is unknown of Lai's political or religious activities and opinions against the government prior to his escape.
The content of this article is all unsourced, so I am moving it all to the talk page here below, and will ask Wikiproject China to try to help source some of these individuals. Content can be moved back into the article as it is sourced.
Many Chinese political activists have been detained, jailed and/or exiled. Among them are (period of detention in brackets, followed by current status):
There are also a large number of Chinese who claim to be dissidents and seek to defect, usually to USA, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand. To support their application to migrate, it is quite common for self proclaimed dissidents to cite their participation in Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, their strong religious belief in Falun Gong or that they are being pursued by a network of spies ( Chen Yonglin). (See Economic migrants)
A Beijing's Dissident Blacklist has been reported in the South China Morning Post, January 8, 1995. It includes the following people:
Here's a source; unfortunately it's not an internet source.
I have the book and read through it myself. It doesn't give you a listing of dissidents, but it covers some of the more prominent dissidents in terms of their lives and their opinions. The book sometimes reads a little bias, but it does profile the bigger names in the Chinese dissident community. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 17:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Here is what I can confirm, of the list above, from Ian Buruma's book. This is just the information listed at the back of the book concerning the statuses and whereabouts of these people, in a section called Glossary of Names. There may be other information about these people's statuses in the chapters of the book itself to verify what I can't find in the Glossary of Names, but I'd have to go through the book again. My edition of the book was published in 2002, so it's important to note that the statuses of some of these people may be different by now. In fact I know some of the information is now outdated.
That is all. This Glossary of Names is found in pages 345-349. Here's the cite:

help)Suggestion for this article - editors may want to note in the heading that this list is specifically related to the PRC. "Chinese dissidents" could also mean dissidents from Taiwan and Singapore - yes, there are plenty of those, too - and this is something Buruma's book also covers. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 06:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
What is the point of the age listed next to the people's names? Wouldn't we have to go through and update the age every year? HanBoN ( talk) 05:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Anyone notice how the link to her name points to an entirely different person with the same name? I'd fix it myself if I knew how, but I just thought it'd perhaps be a good idea to add a disambiguation page or something.

Could someone take the time to add Li Zehou to this list? i dont have the precise dates, and i tend to ruin these charts when i edit them. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 17:03, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Should Ai Weiwei be added to the list? His arrest was listed on the Main Page "In the news" section. 2011-04-08. — Loadmaster ( talk) 16:30, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
What is the criteria for inclusion on this list? There are thousands of documented prisoners of conscience in China (and thousands more whose cases are not widely documented). See here for an incomplete list [1]. In light of this, is seems prudent to clarify how we should measure notability. Do they need to have a certain number of human rights or news reports written about them, for instance? Homunculus ( duihua) 03:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
This list is interesting but for Chinese people pinyin isn't sufficient. Add a column with their Chinese name (in characters)! Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.49.68.162 ( talk) 02:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
totally agree. the list should also be dynamically ordered. but i thought wikipedia didnt provide lists in the first place? in any case i added one person but i'd love to collab with some others on this and other pages related to chinese progressive politics.
