The author's comment is a puzzling piece of editorializing, since by her/his own reporting, Dongjen is a successful organization which continues to provide services to people living with HIV/AIDS, including much-needed legal services. Li Dan himself is an award-winning AIDS advocate and it's in part as a result of advocacy and criticism by him and others like him that the government finally began to provide some services to orphans in Henan. “Li Dan’s emergence as an activist may have, ironically, hindered his very own ability to assist more AIDS orphans in need.”
