It is currently headed by Xie Wanjun. Its headquarters is Empire State Building Room 625, New York. It advocated a multi-party system. It was founded in 1998 by some democracy activists and former student leaders in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Members of the Forming Committee were arrested in 1998. Some of the members of the party fled to the United States and continued the party. The China Development Union also appeared at the time.
