2025年6月12日，位于香港的NGO组织“中国劳工通讯”发布声明解散。这是香港《国安法》落地后又一个停运的中国民间团体。中国劳工通讯（China Labour Bulletin，CLB）于1994年成立，致力于推动中国劳工运动，长期关注中国劳工权利。该机构总部位于香港，创办人韩东方是1989年天安门民主运动中的工人领袖，是当时北京工人自治联合会创始人之一。 中国劳工通讯曾出版数十份中英文报告，涉及中国的工人运动，关注农民工、外卖骑手、女工、童工、煤炭开采和尘肺病等工人权益问题。在该机构宣布解散后，“中国劳工通讯网”也随即被关闭。民间档案馆网站紧急下载了其网站上相关的80个中英文报告，予以留存。以下26个报告是中国劳工通讯2004-2024年之间发布的关于中国劳工权益保障的研究报告，包括《中国外卖行业研究报告》、《建筑行业权益报告》、《医护行业权益报告》、《制造业工人权益报告》等。

On June 12, 2025, the Hong Kong–based NGO China Labour Bulletin (CLB) announced its dissolution. This marks yet another Chinese civil society organization that ceased operations following the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. Founded in 1994, CLB was dedicated to promoting the Chinese labor movement and had long focused on labor rights in China. Headquartered in Hong Kong, its founder Han Dongfang was a workers’ leader during the 1989 Tiananmen Democracy Movement and one of the founders of the Beijing Workers’ Autonomous Federation. Over the years, China Labour Bulletin published dozens of reports in Chinese and English on China’s labor movement, addressing issues related to migrant workers, food delivery couriers, women workers, child labor, coal mining, and pneumoconiosis, among others. Following the organization’s dissolution, the China Labour Bulletin website was also taken offline. In response, the China Unofficial Archives website immediately downloaded and preserved 80 Chinese- and English-language reports from the site. The following 15 reports are observation reports on China's workers' movement.
