89. Other funded journals included The Chinese Intellectual, Press Freedom Guardian, and The New Era. There was also funding for numerous inst.i.tutes: the China Strategic Inst.i.tute for publications on const.i.tutional reform in China, the Princeton Initiative set up as a center for exiled dissident Chinese intellectuals, the Foundation for China to work for Taiwan's democratic development. The list is a lengthy one. Other grants went for publication of articles and work about Tibet: the Tibet Fund, the International Campaign for Tibet, the Tibet Multimedia Center, the Tibetan Young Buddhist a.s.sociation, the Political Defiance Committee. Not all these publications have survived; others have emerged. The NED, set amid an overlapping world of foundations and organizations, has been tied to a remarkable number of them.

90. Human Rights Watch states that Human Rights in China is a separate organization, separately incorporated, funded, and staffed. Historically, Human Rights Watch had initially given s.p.a.ce to Human Rights in China, Teodor Stan, "Where Are We on Human Rights in China?" An interview with Robert L. Bernstein, Bard Politik: The Bard Journal of Global Affairs, vol. 3 (Spring 2003), 22. Reports also have been coauth.o.r.ed. See Human Rights in China/Human Rights Watch/Asia, "China: Whose Security? State Security in China's New Criminal Code," April 1997, vol. 9, no. 4, http:www.hrw.org/reports/1997/china5.
