May Communism Never Prevail in the United States

I was born and raised in a Communist country, where I experienced food shortages, censorship, the Cultural Revolution, lawlessness, forced abortions, inflation, government corruption, and perpetual one-party rule. Our constitution guarantees no fundamental human rights—no right to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. We have no freedom of speech or religion. Deception as a […]

TikTok: A Tale of Two Systems

It is the best of apps; it is the worst of apps. I am a Chinese national who grew up under the indoctrination of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). While I lack hard evidence, my first-hand life experience in China tells me that TikTok has at least three insidious missions from the CCP. First, the […]

National Identity: We Are Taiwanese, Not Chinese

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. […]

A Chinese Dissident in the U.S.: My only Status Is Christian

While volunteering at my church’s soup kitchen, I often serve dinner to homeless individuals and new immigrants, many of whom speak little English. A recurring question emerges from these interactions, “Where are you from?” The Vietnamese guests are curious to know whether I share their heritage. Hispanics, recognizing that I am Asian, wonder whether my […]

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 […]

Tear Down the Great Firewall of China

Every year, as June 4 approaches, I write articles to commemorate the 1989 pro-democracy student movement in China.  The Tiananmen Massacre occurred on June 4th, 34 years ago. As a Chinese living outside of China, I have the privilege of “witnessing” the amazing courage of Tank Man and learning the true history of the event. […]

Hitler’s Third Reich; Xi Jinping’s Third Term

“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 […]

My Heavenly Father Saved My Parents from COVID in China

(A Christian’s Testimony) Isaiah 1:17 says, “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.” In 2014, my Christian faith began to grow after I found and joined a home church. With God’s calling, I started contacting ChinaAid ― an international non-profit Christian human rights organization committed to promoting religious freedom and the rule of […]

Let Freedom Ring in China: From 1989 Tiananmen to 2022 Blank White Paper

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.
