76-year-old Beijing rights defender and military wife Guo Likun stripped of pension and medical insurance by authorities; the Chinese Communist authorities “weaponize” pension security for rights defenders
On November 1, 2026, this outlet learned that 76-year-old Beijing rights defender and military wife Guo Likun has had her pension suspended by the Beijing authorities since July 2026, and her medical insurance has also been canceled, leaving her without a source of income and unable to obtain medical care despite being beset by illness. The authorities cite Guo Likun’s 2021–2023 prison sentence for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” in connection with her rights defense. Pensions and medical insurance are supposed to be retirement security that citizens build up for themselves through decades of work, but the Chinese Communist authorities have now “weaponized” them as tools to suppress and retaliate against citizens who defend their rights. Guo Likun is not the only case: many other rights defenders, including Xu Yonghai, an elder of a Beijing Christian house church, and Xu Qin, a human rights defender from Jiangsu, face the same predicament.

China Human Rights Defenders: Interpretation of China’s Policies, Laws and Regulations (October 2026) (Issue 26)
Editor’s note: Autumn is deepening, and new regulations are appearing in quick succession. This issue compiles eleven recent policy documents covering four major areas: online governance, people’s livelihood, industrial development, and public safety. Their provisions differ, yet they all pose the same central question: Where should the boundaries of public power lie? Ultimately, the purpose of all governance is to protect people’s rights. From the “Clear and Bright” campaign to address fabricated personas in short videos, to online safety protections for minors, and then the special campaign to address military-related information, the reins on governing cyberspace continue to tighten. Bringing disorder under control is a legitimate aim; fabricated personas and traffic fraud trample the public’s right to know. But what demands even greater vigilance is that boundaries can most easily expand unnoticed in the name of security. If the pursuit of “absolute clarity” blurs the boundaries of expression, or the pursuit of “absolute safety” shrinks the space for innovation, governance itself will cease to be a shield for rights and become a barrier to them. The Action Plan for Disability Prevention, protections for workers in new forms of employment, the grading of eldercare institutions, amendments to the Teachers Law
