My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.

The Chinese government is quickly losing its ideological legitimacy maintain its rule with force but cannot draw strength from the ideology of Marx and Mao.

The overall strength of Chinese culture and its international influence is not commensurate with China's international status. The international culture of the West is strong while we are weak.

I was an All-American in wrestling in high school was National Champion in Chinese kickboxing in 1999 and have spent a lot of time around professional athletes which includes my eight-plus years as CEO of a sports nutrition company.

Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and through it the chief concern of the Chinese people.

If we all say the same thing then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it I become singled out even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society people are giving up on protecting these values.

I meant that the Chinese people are not aware of their own entrapment. They believe they live in a free society but don't realize how much they are being monitored and controlled how much the information they receive is restricted and warped until they step out of line that is and feel the heavy hand of the state fall on them.

For me I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic Chinese Japanese Korean or Russian combined.
