A dozen years ago, I ran into a group of Asian tourists in Switzerland. When they saw me on the street, they warmly greeted me in Mandarin Chinese, a delightful surprise in a foreign land. The sudden connection with people from my own country who spoke my language was truly a rare and exciting moment. […]

In 2017, a Chinese human rights lawyer had his secret memoir “Unwavering Convictions: Gao Zhisheng’s Ten-Year Torture and Faith in China’s Future” published in the United States. Since then, Mr. Gao was forcibly taken from his home in China. In April 2023, on Mr. Gao’s 59th birthday, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs held […]
During the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in San Francisco, California, many U.S. executives spent $40,000 to dine with Chinese President Xi at a business dinner. At the same time, Chinese diplomats paid patriotic flag-wavers (about $200 per person) to greet Xi as his convoy arrived in San Francisco; nearly 1,000 flag-wavers, mostly overseas […]

The newspaper has been run by the Chinese government, and for decades, has been the only official channel for the Chinese public to have a glimpse of the outside world and learn the news about foreign countries.

Years ago, I was in D.C. watching the July 4th parade. Hundreds of Hindus formed the largest parade block. On one of their floats, they built a real-sized replica of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia; men and women wearing traditional Indian garments surrounded the gigantic bell, singing and dancing. It looked funny. Were it not […]
My church choir director asked me recently, “Do you think China will go to war to take Taiwan?” I guess that many Americans, like my choir director, are curious to know what Chinese nationals think about the current hostile situation created by the increasingly aggressive Chinese Communist regime. Living in a Communist country, people are […]
“History is a good place to visit, but a hard place to stay.” Pastor Foster of the New Life Assembly of God in Ohio often said this to us during his services. In this blog, I would like to visit briefly the Third Reich of the Nazi Germany and look at the potential danger of […]
From spring to winter, for more than 70 years, we, the people of China, have lived and are still living under a Communist regime. No freedom of speech. No freedom of religion. No freedom of assembly. No freedom at all. We are modern slaves in the 21st century. Chinese Calligraphy Posters during Mao’s Cultural Revolution […]
Thirty-three years ago, I was one of the college students who were sitting in the gigantic Tiananmen Square day and night, demanding freedom and hoping China’s communist regime would change into a democratic system. Thirty-three years ago today was a hot day. At nightfall, military tanks started moving from the western suburb of Beijing to […]
The unprecedented, bombshell, SCOTUS leak about Roe v. Wade has unleashed the intended firestorm. Pro-abortion groups are protesting viciously not only before the building of the U.S. Supreme Court, but also in front of the houses of the justices who believe that the U.S. Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and Roe and Casey must […]
