In addition to reporting on labor conditions in China, Li has created resources for workers, factory management and international brands. Both CLW and other labor organizations that Li helped to establish provide free legal advising and community training classes to workers in the Pearl River Delta region. These organizations also collaborate with brands to ensure implementation of corporate responsibility standards in corporate supply chains.
In 2004, Li Qiang taught as a visiting scholar at The Center for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University. In 2009, he has been published in the People's Daily and Nanfeng Chuang, and quoted in a number of international media outlets.
