Huang Xueqin and Wang Jianbing (referred together as “Xuebing”) are an independent journalist and labour activist in mainland China, respectively. They were taken from their homes by the police in September 2021 and are currently being held in secret detention. In the past three months since their disappearance, the police did not inform their families of the charges, nor did they give the families a notice, while asking the families to keep quiet and summoning their friends to make false statements, deliberately framing them for “inciting subversion of state power”.
