Weeks after Jiang Tianyong mysteriously went missing, the Chinese government has finally admitted that they are responsible for his disappearance. Although it is required by law that authorities notify the family within 24 hours when someone is detained, at the time of writing, Jiang’s family has still yet to receive contact, despite the government’s claims that they issued two notices. Rather, a state media report confirmed his detention.
This is not the first time that Jiang has disappeared on account of the Chinese government. He has been detained at least three times, in 2011, 2012 and 2014, because of his role in exposing the Chinese government.
