2002年6月，王炳章在越南邊境附近，遭綁架至一艘往中國的船上，在中國領土上遭公安逮捕。2003年2月，廣東省深圳市中級人民法院以為台灣從事間諜活動和組織領導恐怖組織的罪名判處王炳章無期徒刑，他目前正在韶關北江監獄服刑。一直以來都被獄方單獨關押，禁止任何人與他交流，目前他已經中風多次。獄方的看管人員也是六個月一換。
2013年，台灣立法委員田秋堇向中華民國國家安全局質詢此事，國安局公開回覆，從未運用大陸人士王炳章及彭明先生從事情報工作。

China Detains a Billionaire for Activism

Wang Gongquan, a venture capitalist who has been outspoken in his
liberal views, was detained by more than 20 officers from the Beijing
police.

Chinese police have detained a multimillionaire investor in what human rights campaigners warn is a broadening crackdown on activists.
Wang Gongquan was taken into custody by up to 20 Beijing police officers on Friday on suspicion of "gathering a crowd to disrupt public order", according to supporters.
His friend Xu Zhiyong, a well-known lawyer and leading member of a grassroots grouping supporting civil society, was formally arrested on the same charge last month after weeks in detention.
"Wang was summoned at noon … it was because he has taken part in social activities, human rights activities with Xu Zhiyong," said lawyer Teng Biao.
Human Rights Watch said earlier this week that 17 members of the loosely organised New Citizens movement are among 55 people detained since spring for organising collective actions of various kinds, including protests. Sixteen of those have since been released, some on bail, but friends are increasingly concerned that others will be indicted, tried and jailed.
Activists fear the moves are part of a broader tightening of the political environment by the new leadership under Xi Jinping, including the curbing of online dissent.
"There is no doubt that this is a step up in the suppression of critical voices in China," said Nicholas Bequelin, a senior Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch.
"You have a twin push in the real world and the virtual world. Anywhere you look at the moment − it's the same direction.
"Suddenly people who were somewhat tolerated before find themselves vulnerable − and all of this is happening while China is seeking a seat on the human rights council at the United Nations," Bequelin added, saying that the current push was more than a cyclical crackdown on dissent.
Chinese scholars have also expressed concern about increased pressure on academics. Unusually, the state-run English news website China Daily also reported on Wang's detention, although it said police had taken him for "unknown reasons".
In an interview with the South China Morning Post in July, Wang said: "In today's China people are getting arrested every day. It's impractical for one to claim that he has no fears. But I may not be as scared as many others, because I have been involved in such matters for years − meetings and discussions."
The 51-year-old added: "For a long time I have been harshly criticising some problems in the government, including in the ruling party. Some have called my comments radical. I don't feel radical at all. I think some entrepreneurs fear too much."
Some think Wang is being punished in part for pressing for Xu's release and releasing a video showing his friend, speaking inside jail, urging citizens to pursue their rights. Sui Muqing, a lawyer acting for Guo Feixiong − another detained rights advocate − suggested the government might be seeking to discourage business people from financially supporting activists.
Guo was detained on the "gathering crowds" charge in mid-August but Sui's requests to meet his client have been rejected four times, the lawyer said.
Backers have said that the New Citizens movement operates within the constitution, but its popularity appears to have roused the concern of authorities. Hundreds of supporters turned up to its informal dinners.
Members also called on officials to publicly disclose their assets − a message clearly unwelcome to authorities despite the new leadership's pledge to root out corruption.
Liu Ping, an activist from Jiangxi who held a protest demanding such disclosure in April, has been indicted for illegal assembly, gathering a crowd to disrupt public order and using a cult to damage enforcement of the law, Human Rights in China reported last month.
Wang, a venture capitalist, is one of a number of business people who have become increasingly bold in their calls for reform and criticism of the government. But authorities this week underlined their determination to rein in "big Vs" − verified users with large followings − by issuing a new judicial interpretation warning people may be charged with defamation if they post rumours which are read by 5,000 users or forwarded more than 500 times.
Microbloggers also voiced intense scepticism after Chinese-born American investor Xue Manzi, or Charles Xue, was detained in Beijing last month on suspicion of soliciting prostitutes. Many suspected the decision to parade him on television was intended to deter other prominent figures from his brand of caustic commentary.

商人公民王功權被拘留
黃安偉 2013年09月14日
北京——一位大力倡導更自由的政治和社會政策的中國富豪風險投資人周五被北京警方帶走，這位商人的朋友稱。
51歲的商人王功權是律師許志永的密友，許志永上月因「聚眾擾亂公共場所秩序罪」被正式批捕。周五在網上流傳的一張傳喚證照片顯示，王功權因同樣罪名被拘留。傳喚證顯示，拘留王功權的是北京公安局公共交通安全保衛分局。
另一位著名的權利倡導者陳敏（筆名笑蜀）說，上午11：30左右，王功權在他家中被20幾名警察帶走。笑蜀說，警察對王功權家進行了2個多小時的搜查，帶走了一台電腦，兩張鑲鏡框的照片，以及若干「公民徽章」，大概是王功權在什麼時候自己做的。
警察拿走這些徽章可能是要將它們作為指控王功權的證據。它
們看上去和王功權幾年前定製的「公民證章」相似。調查性商業雜誌財新《新世紀》周刊曾在2011年報道，王功權定製了100枚證章，其大小與一元人民幣硬
幣一樣，上面刻着中國國旗、一部名為《憲法》的翻開的書，還印着「中國公民」四字。
累積了像王功權這麼多財富的商人很少會對自己的自由政治觀點如此直言不諱。20世紀90年代，王功權作為萬通實業集團投資者靠在海南島做房地產投資起家，海南也是其他從房地產行業中發家的商人的跳板。王功權先加入了一個風險投資公司，後來成立了自己的投資公司。
2005年，王功權開始參加許志永召集的會議，並加入許志永發起的倡導組織——公盟的工作。《新世紀》周刊上的介紹稱，王功權涉足過很多社會問題，包括譴責安全官員秘密拘留受害上訪者的「黑監獄」、支持農民工孩子的權益，這些孩子通常不能進入父母打工城市的公立學校學習。
自去年共產黨完成了領導層權力交接以來，倡導更自由政策的人士開始呼籲新一屆領導人遵守並實施中國憲法，憲法被共產黨長規性地忽視。高級官員對這些呼籲做出反擊，最近幾個月來，共產黨官方刊物的社論開始批評憲政主義的支持者。
在反擊自由觀念的同時，安全部門開始鎮壓異見人士。不少中
國自由派人士被警察帶走。這次鎮壓已經觸及到網上的著名人物，他們常在類似Twitter的微博上討論社會問題，其賬戶可能得到幾百萬網友的關注。據國際
倡導組織「維權網」(Chinese Human Rights Defenders)估計，從3月份到8月份，已有50多名政治上活躍的中國人被拘留。
就是在這種背景下，許志永於夏天被逮捕。當時，王功權曾向
記者講述了他的處境。上個月陳敏被臨時拘留時，記者也聯繫過王功權。王功權在一次採訪中說，「很多人問過我，許志永和笑蜀之後，你害怕嗎？我不知道。到目
前為止，國安還沒有找過我。但我自從決定和許志永一起工作的那天起，就做了最壞的打算。」
陳敏和王功權都曾在網上轉發過要求釋放許志永的請願書。
2011年，王功權因為一個完全不同的原因突然出了名。他在自己的微博上發帖稱，要離開妻子，因為他愛上了另一個女人王琴。這個帖子以及王功權為網上瀏覽製作的大談愛情的視頻被廣泛轉載。
他寫到，「我放棄一切，和王琴私奔了。沒法面對大家的期盼和信任，也沒法和大家解釋，也不好意思，故不告而別。叩請寬恕。」
