I'm only posting this because you all seemed interested in the story of his return visit for his mom. This interview was released Dec. 26, 2025, so very recent.

You lived in Communist China until you were 24. You live in the West now. Are you still under censorship?

Of course. There are different kinds of censorship, not just from China. Censorship is everywhere. It’s in United States, in the West.

You felt free initially in the West, and then you realized that you were not truly free. Am I understanding you?

In China you have an old saying: You escape the mouth of a tiger but you land amid a pack of wolves. That describes my situation. Communists talk about contribution, collectivism. It is not selfish. But in capitalism, which is the opposite, you are working only for yourself. You really need to establish your ownness.

And isn’t that a good thing, working for yourself?

It has a problem, I feel. First, the struggle is extreme. You have to really be a success. Everybody wants to be a success. But what is success? That’s questionable.

How do you see China’s future?

Well, it depends on how you evaluate it. China is at its best moment of the past 100 years.

Really?

After Chairman Mao died in 1976, China gradually realized it had to open up and accept Western ideas to be rich first. Deng Xiaoping’s concept was very simple. Let’s be rich first. China was like North Korea in the poorest time. It was completely broken. But in the past half-century, step by step, China has become one of the biggest global powers. And this is a miracle. But they have certain obstacles which they can never overcome, because they will never become a so-called democratic society.

Never?

Never. And they don’t believe in it, because there’s no good example of democratic society. Besides, do you know how big the Communist party is in China? It’s a 100 million people, and over 100 years old. They see no real advantage in being so-called democratic, especially with what happens in the U.S. or in the West. They see the downsides of this kind of system.

But at the same time, I’m getting the feeling that you also have some Chinese nationalism within you…

It is not nationalism. But a lot of good things are happening in China. It’s at its best moment for the wealth of the nation, for its wellbeing, but not necessarily spiritually or intellectually. China is okay.

What do you think of Xi Jinping?

Personally?

Personally, politically…

I don’t know him that much. Really, I don’t know him that much. But I haven’t seen him make obvious mistakes.

can people imagine if Germany was glorifying its WW2 soldiers and regime, making threatening statements against the West and remilitarizing? it would be instant global outrage. the entire world would be outraged. but Japan is going back to what it was like in WW2....... and it's directed at Chinese and a threat and affront to Asians... so the western world is nonchalant about it. myself I'm of Mexican descent, I am not speaking as a Chinese or Asian. my thing is this- can we sit back and accept the return of WW2-era Germany? Of course not- so can we as a human race sit back and accept the revival of WW2-era Japan? The entire world needs to oppose this development. We can't accept this. Further- this just shows how utterly unprincipled the West is. They back Jolani in Syria. They back neonazis in Ukraine. Genocidal zionists in Gaza. the UAE that backs the horrors in Sudan. I believe they have some role in the horrors occuring in the Congo. And now they're backing a rise of a return of fascist Japan. The world has enough problems as it is, we don't need a return of fascist Japan.

The growing sinophobic sentiment in the west will inevitably lead to some kind of oppression. Many in the west are lovely people, in the future many of them won't be anti-chinese, but the minority that will be, will have the loudest voice. I want all fellow Chinese to stay strong in the coming years!

在天愿作比翼鸟,在地愿为连理枝。

From China with love🇨🇳♥️
