The Democracy and Freedom Web, [4] also known as Perspectives Web,[5] was a Mainland China-based website founded by Wu Wei on June 12, 2001.[6] It was officially registered and filed in Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou and other places.[7] The website was shut down, blocked, hacked or otherwise incapacitated by the Chinese authorities forty-eight times[8] for discussing political reforms, human rights and other sensitive topics. However, every time the website was closed, it would go back online. [9]

Democracy and Freedom Web was disabled for publishing articles mourning Zhao Ziyang.[10] On July 16, 2006, the website was completely closed.[11]
