Zheng Jian

What Zheng Jian does

Zheng Jian (正见网) is a Falun Gong / Falun Dafa-affiliated online news and information publication platform, established in 1999 and operating globally under the domain zhengjian.org. The site serves global Falun Dafa practitioners and the Chinese diaspora as its primary audience, publishing categorized content across news, society, divine culture ("Shen Chuan Wen Hua"), Tianyin music, theater, books, prophecy analysis, and astronomy. Content is published in five languages — English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean — and is accessible free of charge. The platform is operated by a small paid team supplemented by a global volunteer practitioner base.

Underlying technology consists of a Drupal-based content management system that generates categorized article archives, an RSS feed, and a podcast XML feed distributed under the Zhengjian Tianyin Podcast brand. Beyond digital channels, the organization publishes the "Clear Stream" (清流) weekly and monthly newspapers in print from Hong Kong, distributed to mainland Chinese tourists and overseas practitioners. The site is tightly cross-linked with the broader Falun Dafa media ecosystem, including Minghui.org, Sound of Hope, Epoch Times (Dajiyuan), NTD Television, and Shen Yun Performing Arts, with extensive daily coverage of Shen Yun's global tour and anti-persecution events.

The business model is donation-funded rather than commercial: all content is provided free of charge, no subscription tiers or pricing exist, and no venture capital, private equity, or institutional funding rounds are disclosed. Headcount is stated at 14 employees, supplemented by an international volunteer network. Revenue sources are limited to voluntary donations from the Falun Gong practitioner community worldwide, with no enterprise customers, advertising business, or other commercial revenue streams identified.
