Canyu, also known as Participation[2] or Participation Network, [3] is a United States-based[4] rights protection[5] and pro-democracy website,[6] focusing on China's democracy movement, [7] human rights situation, [8] and commentary critical of the Chinese Communist Party.[9]

Canyu.org was launched in 2005[10] and is maintained by the China Free Press. [11] Due to the stand of the website, it received many cyberattacks made by hackers. [12] In January 2014, Canyu issued a statement stating that the website had been funded by the National Endowment for Democracy from 2005 to September 30, 2012.[10]

Hacked

In January 2010, Canyu was hit by DDoS attacks, which prevented access to the website and resulted in the violation and destruction of the background data.[13] In December 2016, canyu.org was hacked again by DDoS attacks.[14]
