talking to you before we get here. and we've had a ton of people request. you to come on the show. wow and so here we are well i'm honored. i did not know lots of people request. you to interview me i'm i'm very. encouraged to hear that good they. absolutely did. um. so i'm just going to give you a brief. introduction. lily tang williams grew up in a very. poor family in china during the mao. cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976.
which we'll dive into a little later. became a law professor at age 21 you. left china for university of texas in. 1988. you're able to fool the ccp into coming. here and now. you're running for congress in new. hampshire because you want to save. america. am i missing anything. that's a. pretty accurate and a very good summary. all right. well we always start every show.
with a gift. so here's your gift. any guesses. it's kind of heavy the sean ryan show. can i open it absolutely that's what. it's for oh. you know what my first time open gifts. has wrapped up. was. my 21st birthday for 24th birthday on. the campus of utasti nice i know my. graduate school faculties and and. professors hold a birthday party for me.
i was totally shocked and surprised i. had no idea. my birthday in china is a boiled egg. oh my goodness look. oh. those are vigilance lead gummy bears oh. i love them made in the usa not in china. oh i love gummy bears too. good thank you so much yes you got your. own brand yeah. oh wow. wow you probably have lots of products. limbed off to your brand thank you so.
much you're welcome yeah the three. package of them that will last me for a. long time. good. and especially on the campaign trail. right. same you can just set it down back there. okay. perfect. so before we dive in we want to talk a. lot about your upbringing in china and. then we'll get into some current events. type stuff but. lately in the news. nancy pelosi just visited taiwan. and. um.
china warned us that there will be. repercussions if that happened which. they did just launch missiles right. outside of taiwan what do you think. about that what are your thoughts well. my campaign actually issued a press. release i came out immediately. and to support policy. and. i i tell people as the only. congressional kennedy republican. candidate running for congress this year. i.
stand with pelosi i support her to show. solidarities. and stand with taiwan. the thing is though. i think america will look very weak if. she did back down because the threats. from ccb. a thuggish government not elected by the. people. republic of china which is taiwan. has vibrant democracies and a lot more.
freedom than men and chinese. so let the ccp to control our elected. officials traveling itineraries gingrich. went to taiwan in the 90s. why can't pelosi decide she wants to go. with the delegation i even tweeted if i. was in a congress. i would join her. i could be even you know because i'm. truly bilingual right i mean mandarin. was my relative in a mother tongue. language we have to absolutely.
support taiwan that's truly. a example for 1.4 billion chinese on. mainland to say chinese people are. capable of freedom. and democracy. and the free market capitalism. so people need to understand. chinese government in beijing. is a one-party. dictatorship not elected by people.
that's why they don't care about the. people. remember the kovi. first response any crisis the local. government officials ccp officials want. to cover them up because they might lose. their job if they bought top bus in. beijing found out oh you mishandled this. so they want to cover up because they. don't care about people's sufferings. because. the only way they do their jobs get. fired by their top boss in ccp. but not by the people so people actually.
the chinese people are the biggest. victims of the ccp government where. taiwan people according to the poll they. saw what happened in hong kong. they don't want to go back to china. because unification means they're going. to lose their democracy and freedom who. wants to do that especially younger. people in taiwan. who they learned from hong kong like hey. one country two citizens don't even work. what do you think their interest is in. taiwan why is it so why are they so.
fixated. on taiwan despite possible repercussions. if they interfere. they are afraid of. taiwan because as i said. taiwan is a free. country with democracy. and. communists. hate freedom and democracy. and. you know what they worry about most is. taiwan is an example for mainland. chinese so if they can.
collapse hong kong. control taiwan. that means the mainland chinese. you know will not know what the true. freedom democracy is about. that's what communists do they want to. take over. probably. lots of places including other free. world countries because they hate their. own people some they wake up to say you. know what how come we live like slaves. we cannot vote we cannot hide freedom i.
avoid in lockdowns government tell us. lockdown every 24 hours go charge you a. kobe app to say. if i can have another 24 hours freedom. that's what they're doing now yeah you. look at shanghai look at shenzhen under. lockdown those are the most. international we all say cities in china. they look like that. it's so sad to say. that i don't i think the china economy. is about to collapse. because of that because of that and.
they're trying to distract to say. you know because they control the. propaganda to say oh. demonize america demonize policy to. visit taiwan. she she did not say. anything on youtube she just said we. stand with taiwan. we. we support democracy and freedom. there's nothing wrong with that but the. chinese communist party now is doing all. the trainings and all this stuff and. i'm glad she actually kind of caught.
their bluff out. yeah me too yeah i never thought i would. stand with pelosi but i do think that. she did that's what i'm saying we don't. have to be partisan on everything. when our elected. politician do ryzen. we should give them the credit. and i. i i don't know how many people were. republicans on her delegation i suggest. to her she should take a both party. elected officials to go with her yeah.
but lots of republicans already before. she showed up but because she's like the. number three the most important person. in the u.s politics that's why china is. making all the noise and threats yeah. well. let's get ready to dive into the. interview one last thing i always take a. question from my patrons over on patreon. they're why i'm sitting here they're. while you're sitting here they're our. biggest supporters and this one is from. paul garrison and i had to pick paul. because paul.
has been suggesting you to come on this. show for probably six months now well. thanks paul yeah so. paul's question is can the u.s avoid its. own version of the culture revolution. through legislation through legislature. or will it take more homegrown will it. take a more homegrown approach through. strong families and local communities. banding together. well i think. the.
cultural revolution i see in america has. been going on. for probably. 30 something years maybe 40 years. so it's not like a summer magic wand. that we can just legislate from federal. level. and. to change our culture. and i think that's a part of the. communist like people plan. remember yuri and mesmer who come out to.
say. the communists have a plan for america. mr besmianov was born in 1939 in a. suburb of moscow. he was the son of a high-ranking soviet. army officer well you spoke several. times before about ideological. subversion that is a phrase that. i'm afraid some americans don't fully. understand when. the soviets use the phrase ideological. subversion what do they mean by it. ideological subversion is is the slow. process.
which we call either ideological. subversion or active measures activeness. in the language of the kgb or. psychological warfare what it basically. means is to change the perception of. reality of every. american to such an extent that despite. of the abundance of information. no one is able to come to sensible. conclusions. in the interests of defending themselves. their families their community and their.
country. through four stages. that guy is a former kgb he knows he. knows. he was defector. the number one stage he said demoralize. america. that kind of like a. remind me of. mouse destroy the 4-0 the only cultural. revolution demoralized. like a destroyer for old it's a destroy. old culture.
ideas. custom. and habits. but why did the mao even. mention that. what his agenda purpose to do cultural. revolution. in to destroy age old chinese. culture. because he used a cultural revolution to. purge his political enemies within. communist party. and lots of people might not know that.
um. mao was marginalized. lost his. top leader status. lost the president. president position to mr liu saucy. neil saucy. wanted to reboot economy because. mau started. the great league forward. and those a few years 40 million people. estimated to starve to death 40 million.
yes 40 many peasants mostly in the. countryside poor rural. villages who support his. communism. supported. communist party. died of starvation. so that's something. lots of people in this country don't. know. i even did not know until i came to this. country my english got better. and i i was told.
from 1958 to 1961. there were three years natural. disasters. drought. flooding. bugs. blame everything else then the people. were starving because my dad told me he. was living on one chinese steam fund. a day oh man. as a worker full-time worker for state. factories. and. luckily i i was born 1964.
but i heard three years natural. disasters all my life in china. unfortunately lots of people still. believe that they still don't know the. truth today. i learned the truth after i come to this. country. and. i cried after i found out how many. people died of starvation. and the people don't know the truth. and i was totally indoctrinated myself. so i did not know anything about that i. was just told to say oh you're lucky you.
have you have some food to eat now and. you're not starving because my dad was a. young man very muscular and he grew up. as orphan he just want to fit his. stomach when he got recruited to go to. work for steak factory in in city. instead of you know work on the farm. you know in a village where. you know he become orphan. he never had one day of schooling he. could not read. my dad. is totally illiterate. oh wow i know that uh that's why they.
always tell me. we are story because we don't have. education. your mom there could not move up inside. of a communist party ranks. and you need to get the best education. possible so you can have a better job. they were factory workers yeah yeah. and uh so to answer paul's question. though. that uh. i feel like a demoralization of america. is already.
accomplished. look at the to this america. our young people demonize america. call america systemic racist country. you got a crt social emotional learning. 1619 project. identity politics and transgender. ideology in our schools it's. all about. demoralized american and american. families and turned kids against the. nuclear families so they belong to this.
state. i mean how you cannot just legislate oh. i'm going to change people's mind or. hearts that requires time and work. that's why. they defend parental rights is my top. second campaign issue because when you. take away parental rights like all the. communist countries do you kids become. the property of this state. and they can push all kinds of. curriculum. information privacy tracking data.
collection. indoctrination. to schools. and parents have not no say in that. look they shut down schools do you have. something about shannon schools during. the past kobe. and they're teaching all this crazy. stuff and teachers union nea said we're. going to teach critical research in 14. 000 school district. so you think the cultural revolution is. already over. it's happening now it's happening but.
the demoralization. to america in america. according to you know. um the demoralization yeah it it's done. it has been going on for past 40 years. and now um once you demoralize. and uh and and now we are i think aware. in the public um. in the third third stage which is a. constant crisis after crisis of the. crisis right you demoralize then you. destroy.
and then you. you create a crisis crisis. and then you're trying to lost the stage. is trying to. normalize it when you're trying to. normalize. after you already destroy the. traditional. values and culture we have so you. normalize with what with their control. with their power. so that would be like what replace. america is socialism globalism yeah. instead of individual liberty. and.
and. individual citizens rights shall not be. infringed and guaranteed. actually given to us by our creator by. god. you know our rights pre-exist government. pre-exist even. constitution so by the sense of. our. young generations for two generations. now they have been indoctrinated to. believe otherwise to believe in. government that's another thing is by.
destroying the families by destroying. the uh you know their religions and. demonize religions demonize capitalism. and capitalists and profits guess what. they do. they want you to believe in government. and you know the worst religion. in the whole world. in my eyes. is a statism is a believing government. because. they are the only ones. who actually. have a monopoly. in force.
they have guns they have a presence. and they can lock you up and take you. away. you can hate the corporation all you. want but you don't have to buy their. products right yeah and you have some. kind of competition and hopefully even. with social media big tech companies but. when government has monopoly in force. and controls everything that's what you. get. like communist china. let's move towards your upbringing in. china.
during the mao culture revolution what. was it like. growing up with that. well. i was two years old and my memory. started in this. row house like a feminist. and leaving this workers row house. provided by my dad's day factory. and. all one story. and. mom dad with children. and my memory started from there.
one. bathroom. one bathroom which is a. just big hole on the ground. so they dig a big hole in the ground. and. then they put a divider in the middle. so one. one hole is for woman one hole is for. men. you can talk to each other you can talk. to your neighbors you can't hear each. other doing number one number two have a. conversations.
and it's just two breaks over the hole. so when you go to number two number one. as little girl you have to find the two. breaks. so when the night bulb goes out i was. afraid to go to bathroom. we were too poor to afford a flashlight. and so. so everybody just had to buy a little. party for the apartment so you if you. don't want to go to the bathroom at. night you just do in your apartment next. day you can go dump it. because.
everything belongs to the state no. private property ownership. so because it's a community housing who. cares to put a new light bulb on when. light bulbs go busted right so i was so. afraid to go to the bathroom at night. and. because if you're not careful you can. fall backwards. and you'll be buried by human waste. and i think every couple weeks. a patent. will come to. dig out of the human waste and take to.
the agricultural field to use as. fertilizer. that's why chinese were trained never. never eat the salad we did not have. salad because it's not safe to eat raw. food have to be all boiled. high temperature to kill all the you. know germs. and uh. in what chinese water boil everything. bottle waters were kind of like. jewelry's item. when i first came to this country it was.
my. kind of old happiness like looking for. boiling water i was afraid to drink tap. water. so so i just remember that and the bugs. were flying around. and the. flies and worms were crawling on the you. know that bath you know like a restroom. floor. i was traumatized as child. because if you're not careful when you. go to. that female hole.
you could step onto the. bugs crawling. on the floor. when you step on it they make a horrible. disgusting it's a pop noise. by talking about it i feel like i get. goose bumps i think i was traumatized by. that i just really absolutely hated that. and i hated everything crawling on the. floor you know the biggest animal scares. me. it's snakes crawling is in. associate with that and then in the. summer they all become flies and flying.
around and. constantly to make noise we did not have. any kind of cooling or heating so winter. was extremely cold. i. i had the frostbite. on my left foot. every year i got the same. spot have frostbite as a little girl. and. so they get really really itchy because. um. when.
i think when you get a warm but you got. the frostbite and then you get a warm. then you won't scratch it they get itchy. and i always broke my skin and getting. infected so after years now just the. scars always there. and. i don't know how much memory i don't. remember because my dad and my younger. brother risen told me. you know what you're the one who threw. away that's. some bare fat. because i was asking last year who throw.
widows barefoot that got really mad and. spanked me think i did it but i didn't. do it. my brother which is five years younger. than me my baby boy said you did it you. don't remember i said no. i saw somebody else did it that was. really mad. i don't know what happened. i. so i think that there are some memories. i swept under the rug when you are. traumatized. and i don't know when they're going to.
come out. so another memory. i did not want to talk about it avoid it. think about it. and i discovered last year the truth. is that my. grandmother was. babysitting me. at the peak of cultural revolution. 68 you know 69 i was. four or five years old. and then my grandma's family. and the whole neighborhood renowned this.
community water well. as a source of water. 20 feet. deep. and. so you so you go down there. you use little. rope to get your bucket down there get. the water and then you know get the. bucket up that's how you get your. fresh water and you go boil it for your. cooking. and washing clothes. and one morning everybody was looking at. water wheel to say come look come look.
i i run there to take a look. i think i must immediately run away. because i don't remember i never asked. questions i saw a dead man. lick it. on top of the water well. oh so scary. and and uh. why i never asked why i just run away. and don't talk about it i think i swept. under the rock for many years. when i got sick last year in the. hospital.
i don't know why. i got covered i was sick lying there no. visitor doing nothing very weak just. think about my childhood and close my. eyes and. and always what's going on in today's. america i don't know why when you get so. sick so you or you think about your past. and i i said what happened to that man. who was that man how come i never asked. that question so when i came home last. year from a hospital. i talked to my uncle in china. um.
to say. i recovered uncle i would think about. past. who was that man. my favorite uncle one of three uncles. who was part of regards. he said. black family black class member. committed suicide. he could not handle the struggle. sessions anymore. people start to google. straggle sessions under mouse culture. revolution. so basically.
mao. use a standard marxist. communist theory. people are divided into two giant groups. which we use them today. oppressor. versus oppressed. who are the oppressors under mouth. five black classes. rich. farmers. landlord. race um like a. country revolutionaries.
whitest. bad influencers. so you got three categories. very subjective how do you define. they were black classes. or the party. they call them black classes yes five. black. five black versus five. red. and. but under five black classes they're all. oppressors so they're supposed to go to. this republican square. to lower their head.
to apologize for being black. to be public and shamed. and the raid guards throw rocks at them. mao also shot down schools. so the urban youth had no school to go. to so they can do. cultural revolution time. go eliminate your political enemies. i. was a red child okay here are these five. red classes. under oppressed.
workers. peasants. like i'm a worker's child. because actually i could be black if my. grandfather was not killed. because my grand real grandfather i. never met. had the land had the money. both grandfathers did i never met both. sides real biological grandfather only. had the one grandmother i knew. and. since i was little and she's the one who. babysitted me and she went through one.
year straggler says she's two because. her my real grandfather died. in sutra mountains. and. she remarried second husband was a red. worker. but they found out. you were second wife of this. leader in like outlawed. outlaw the group leader in sichuan. mountains he must be killed as a country.
revolutionary which will categorize all. our families to be black my grandma. keeps saying stick to her truth she said. she keeps saying no my dead husband was. killed. by his own people. as a. kind of part of outlaw group. over some. disputes. but after one-year investigation. my. grandmother you know went through that. one year somebody poked her back.
standing up apologize dick dick write. self-criticism. and. want her confess confess confess she. keeps saying i have nothing to confess. i have a current husband who is worker. red class. and after one year investigation. god thank goodness. okay. you told the truth your husband. was not counted revolutionary he was. killed by his own man okay.
now. your categorized as a red. class. that's why then we all become red. otherwise. if you have one grandmother categorized. black the entire family is black. unless one thing. mal. urged. young people to do. you can become red from black. if you denounce your families you come. out publicly to say.
my grandparents. were born black. they were landlords. and i'm sorry i apologize. i'm going to draw the line. to denounce my families. i will change my last name. like from tong to one. then i become red. were a lot of people doing that oh so. many so many. because young people don't know.
young people were brainwashed. and they were pressured they. also. totally. trusting the propaganda. and the mao was like a god. we we say every day long never check my. mouth hold the little red books. long neighbor chia my mouth. long live communist party. ten thousand years double ten thousand. years i never challenge that. like an easy god or is he human no i.
never asked that question but they were. just chanting every day so the teenagers. in their cities urban youth. they were. brainwashed. and they were pressured. if you don't denounce your family change. last name. you can never join mouse students. organizations. like young pioneer wear red scarf. red card. communist youth member. and a communist party member were all.
the jobs. best jobs a whole for those who you know. communist. group members. and. today on google you can see this one guy. is in his 16 now. my uncle generation. goes to visit this torture site where he. saw his mother. tortured to death by regards. and apologized to say mom i was 16 i did. not know.
i'm sorry. heartbroken. and i feel sorry for those people who. did lost their families thank goodness i. didn't do that you know. and he never got married. he feels public guilty all his life. but i believed. what the party wanted me to believe. black feminists.
enemies of state. tortured them. threw rocks at them send them to labor. camps. and. my another horrible side. in my childhood memory is that. sorry you have nothing. and i saw.
black black class black class people. after struggle sessions. in this public square. going on military trucks. they were going to get shot. i was scared to look at them to say. it looks so pale. and the. red guards were saying. down with black. class. enemies.
long leverage on my mouth. and with the soldiers. behind those. people. i was told. after they show up to all the people. they're the enemies of state they're. gonna get shot. and the chengdu had a public execution. site. and. sorry those are two very. very scary and.
painful memories. and i do have a black. and class. friends. i never asked the questions. and i come to this country and met lots. of those people living in united states. not tell me their family stories. and. some lost family members some committed. suicide. how many people. do you think were executed that day. 10 years.
that day i saw probably four people were. in the military trucks. but. according to the communist party. official. official words. 20 million people. were murdered. 20 million people during the miles. cultural revolution. probably that also included one who. could not handle. struggle sessions. could not handle concentration camps. and committed suicide there were people.
who originally supported the party. internationals. scientists. professors teachers. even the people who were. kind of. wealthy but their young people. supported the party. but then later. because the multicultural revolution all. of a sudden. the party supporters become. black. class because they were born that way.
see that's another saying. you. were born black so you. you were guilty. unless. you changed your last name you denounced. your family sometimes that is not enough. so they threw their supporters under the. bus. i remember i watched this movie black. and white movie. called the red. red. about this new yorker you know like a. reporter.
the same thing. they. they believe in communism. until. something horrible happened to yourself. make you ask questions. oh this is what i'm chasing and. believing now i am the anime myself. i i got a through. into concentration camps. and. it just did not make sense some people. couldn't handle it. they committed suicide.
even then xiaoping's son. the leader of china remember his one of. his sons committed suicide during a. cultural revolution jump of the building. become permanently. handicapped you know lost this lake. i i hope history will never repeat. itself but unfortunately. the tragedies. and the horrors of this cultural. revolution is not being. talked about. not been taught to our.
school kids. college kids. and. how hard it is for me to them to see. them. waving a communist flag. like antifa kids. blm. kids you know blm leaders come out to. say we are trained marxists do they even. understand. what that means. from my personal experience what i had.
witnessed. is what absolute horror. and they affect my life. forever. but i did not know the truth i was still. chanting i i had no idea about the truth. until i come to this country. and there are lots of people living. inside of china still don't know the. truth they still believe. three years natural devout disasters. people starving to death not mouse. communist. central planning economical policies.
communism means government takes away. all means of production controls. everything from land to property. factories natural. you know resources and. and also media schools press tv radio. stations. everything is one party control. no judicial independence all courts. all prosecutors. all teachers all doctors all reporters.
work for the government. one party control even today. so why do we believe any numbers. from the ccp today official numbers of. economy covey cases. and all that according to. you know about taiwan. you cannot believe them because they. their numbers are official but our media. do quote them. and uh. so. i start to.
i think ask her questions. when mao died i was 12. i was 12. but i could not ask question publicly. we learned how to waste it. whisper to each other. with our neighbors with our families. i i was always very inquisitive. i always ask i saw people whispering. each other like neighbors in their. apartment and my families i would still. learn a little girl to say.
oh what are you talking about i will ask. questions they told me. [Music]. very secretive because you're afraid. what you talk about will be reported to. authorities. because. the party. had to block. committees in every neighborhood they. call the chinese communist party block. committee. so they are in your neighborhood.
and they know you they know where you're. live so need to be careful what you talk. about. so i was always. tell why don't ask questions you're just. child i. i did not understand that because i you. know i was a red child i was a class you. know. president and. and. i was i still had some brain left i. think. but. i i start to ask questions.
who lied to me. mal. was not god. he was a human that's why he died i got. that we were not taught science at all. and. we. i was so brainwashed. that. i couldn't say mao sometimes in the sky. talking to me like he was smiling behind. the clouds. i tell people it's like a.
you know the cartoon movie simba look up. and his father was. talking to him you know i was like mom. was talking to me smiling. and we had to burn. wood. to heat up walk to do stir-fry in our. outdoor kitchen. at the mall in the flame i will see his. face smiling at me. because every day it's long never. changed my mouth. we sing songs every morning before we. start a.
chinese mask. to say. my parents are dear. sure my mouth is more dear. and. mao is the rising sun from the east. all those revolutionary sounds. so i was totally brainwashed even though. i was a hungry child. but we were told we should be grateful. taiwanese people were suffering we need. to go liberate them. america.
is. imperious country. we need to defeat them. so nothing has changed they're still. doing that kind of propaganda today but. just with the internet it's harder to. tell people not how many people. are suffering and are hungry you know. think about. whey lived on food rationing coupons. my parents and the two younger brothers. family of five. per my parents official position inside.
the state factories. we had the. minimum food rationing coupons to use. per month. to give you an idea how much we ate we. were allowed to get the proteins. proteins let me include all the eggs. all the meats doesn't matter chicken. beef or pork but beef was just. unreachable i think the chinese just we. just had a pork to buy with our coupons. and.
2.8 pounds. of protein coupons for family of five. a month. um. 2.8 pounds a month yes. you can have one day one meal. family five. so we were very very hungry as i said i. do not remember one single toy i had. when i had my birthday people don't. believe that it's boiled egg you were. lucky to have a boiled egg that day they. saved for you for your birthday.
my mom was very sick ill person. she was pretty much your baby with lots. of problems. i'm the oldest out of three children so. i was treated. as adult. since i was. six years old. people believe a communism is afraid. offer free stuff. it's live. i was told by my parents and baked by my.
parents. at the age of six when i was dying to go. to school to learn how to read and write. because my parents were illiterate. they begged me to stay home. to babysit my one year old. infant brother. they could not afford. his factory infant care. they could afford my next broader.
younger brother who. is only 17 months younger than me. well my grandma couldn't babysit anymore. they put him the child care in my desk. factory. but. the infant care cost more money. and they. they thought i was mature enough. as a girl as a big sister to stay home. babysit him. i i see no no i want to go to school. but they baked me they say well we'll.
buy you a foreign movie ticket as bribe. and which is not your reason to do a. foreign movie movie ticket. and we need your help we cannot afford. it. we still have to buy food. i remember i just cried for three days. i want to go to school. and does this you know what can i do. i said okay.
i took the movie ticket. and uh i watched the. romania i think of fighting nazis. and laughed for a movie. because that when we're so pressed we. watched for a movie we saw foreigners in. the movies. and especially we saw them hugging and. kissing each other in the movies. it was like a. because in our culture during mouse. cultural routine we. we don't show affections to each other.
and. we were not allowed to date. we are not allowed to wear. pretty clothes. like what i'm wearing today a chinese. silk blouse. was a band. because. one of the four old. old culture. customs. ideas and habits. when red guards know the door-to-door. people want to hide clothes like this or.
burn it and give away. because if you get caught. you can go to struck sessions and go to. labor camps because. you were capitalist you were black class. because you had old stuff like this. everybody's supposed to look the same. girls look like a boys approved. hairstyles. they even approve your hairstyles yeah i. cannot leave my hair down like this past. shooter so you see my old picture online. as a young pioneer regards.
you have to braid your hair. or have piggy tails. ponytails. or short hair. you cannot lay down here freestyle like. this long. you must break it put up you know. and uh. but uh. but i wanted to go to school anyway. so i had to stay home for a year i. watched for my baby brother. and. i was scared at the beginning.
because the choreo was very quiet. under communist china during mao you. must work everybody must work. include all women all. mothers. you cannot stay home to say can i stay. home with my babies no. you have a guaranteed job with the state. but it's not up to you to choose. what job. what position. you just must work how do they decide.
where you're going to work. everybody work for the state. so my mom worked for a local. office supply factory. in the neighborhood. my dad worked for big steel production. factory. that's subject to. you know all the way to beijing and. government control. he was recruited my dad was an orphan. he was recruited to work for them they.
want to countryside recruit young men. who are very muscular. as i mentioned my dad grew up as orphan. i never met my real grandparents from. his side. and he was in literature. so he was managing one steamboat to. another steampunk starving all the time. so when they offered recruited him to. say young man you want to work for the. new china. and um we'll get you to cities and have. salary you have three meals a day. of course he signed up i think my dad.
was 17 or something. and he was a orphan since. five years old grew up on the farm. had to. fight against bullies because he grew up. as often and no education. and this is my real grandfather had some. land. and the died of. strange disease where he spent all his. wealth money to treat himself and still. died. then my grandmother died in the. countryside work on two part-time jobs. to feed her children.
and when she got bited by a dog. got infected. she had no money to to. trade her infection and she died. so all six kids become orphans. i'm like i never met um all my mom my. dad's side family members because. i think two sisters just basically sold. the mary up often to cook some food and. marry somebody. and that very young age and my dad was.
kind of adopted by his uncle he because. my dad was the youngest. and uh his uncle did not have children. so they i don't have money but you can. work on the farm and make some you know. fit yourself. so my dad. was working at the bottom of the worker. but my dad was strong. and relatively smart. but no education so communist party. wanted to promote him. and. get him join the party. and trying to make him a supervisor of.
the floor work he couldn't do it he said. i cannot read i cannot do homework they. put him in workers college he brought. the homework home to say can you help me. do this. and i. quickly he just gave up he said. okay i don't want promotion i i just. want to. go to my. own cement concrete worker job and on. the floor because i cannot be a any kind. of manager but your food coupon is based. on how much you know how high your.
position is that's why we did not get. much food. and i told people we were so hungry my. uncle when my grandmother was. babysitting me. to say hey there are some rats running. around in my grandma's courtyard. and he set up a trap and we got red one. day when rat. and he you know put the red meat and. skin it meat on the fire. and it would suck on the bones not much. meat of course very little but still hey. it's something for you to suck on but.
everybody learned to catch rats and they. rang out very quickly you ran out of. rats to eat. yes that's how bad it was yeah like. today's i saw that's two days you know. venezuela and people say that too but we. rang out that's why when you're. extremely. poor you don't have animals animals are. gone birds shot down. by the fishermen to eat. dogs cats. did not exist.
and. we had one dog in our community five. eight families right here one bathroom. eight families. one family had a dog all the kids loved. their dog. and. they please come in to say. it's illegal to have a dog. either you can't eat it or welcome can. get your dog and kill it maybe eat it. too. so my neighbor had to no choice.
they. they put dog down and um. and the ate to the meat. as the kids were very sad and. and. that was only dog i knew actually. and and then later i come to this. country i had a i had a pet my first dog. and. they're saying you so. once i got to school after when you're. babysitting. and. i was so motivated.
i would be best student. and i would do very well. i have good memory. and i was seven years old when i started. school. but i made one critical mistake. i was a little bit too. confident. see only the best students got nominated. to join mouse. and young pilot where you wear a red. scarf. and the teachers will nominate best.
students call the three married students. politically correct. academic. excellent and physically education. physically fit because of three marriage. students. then you will get to be first one to. join a. young pioneer where they really scarf. i met all those criterias i was best. student i made 100 on every subject i. was very very physically fit. doing all the physical education. activities.
i was a red child. and i was politically correct. so i thought i'd be the first one to. join mouse. young pioneer wear red scarf become a. red scarf girl. it was such an. honor privilege to be the one who wear. the red scarf. and. but i was told. by my teacher. somebody reported on you. because you were bragging about yourself.
how wonderful you are and you'll be the. first one to wear the red scarf. we're not gonna meet you because you're. too confident. you're full of yourself basically. criticize me. for myself. and too expressive. i was telling my. girlfriend privately. i bet i'll be the first one to join. but she told me. after that lesson.
at the age of seven. i could not trust anybody so you're not. allowed to be proud of yourself no. i was told by my teacher. we are a collective society. everybody. should fit in. everybody should be the same. and. your self-expression of confidence. bragging about yourself. is a serious flaw.
i. they say we're gonna hold you back. you sh according your grades everything. you should be the first one joining but. we're not gonna. nominate you to join wear red scarf just. because. what you said. private it to your friend. i. i dare not to say anything. i complained to my parents. they were brainwashed too. they said the way. we agree with your teacher.
say chinese have traditional saying. the first bird flying out of forest. get shot. so i was like a nail standing out. and you get a hammer down. so i learned my lesson. do not trust anybody. at the age of seven. in a one-party control state. don't trust your neighbors. don't trust your teachers. don't even trust your family members.
because family members. some belong to communist party. what i mean everybody is encouraged to. come out. to. write diaries. to confess. what you think. yourself also. what you heard from your family members. and your neighbors. about anything not pc.
politically correct. so if you hear anybody saying something. challenging mao or party. let's. cry thought. crime. existed. if you wear mouse remember mouse turn my. mouse big button. if you were the upside down accidentally. it's crime you can go to jail. if you hold the chair my mouse you need.
to read the book to say long never. change my mouth. but upside down listen to your little. country revolutionary. everything was. about. politics. it was. in your face every day. there's no downtime there's no of the. great living. and so you have to be very careful. i. it's like it's hard to have any fun as a.
child. our music. has to be proved. songs. i have to be. all loyal to mao and the party. and. every day. there's a. community housing i lived there for 15. years. next to my. junior high end high school. 6 30 in the morning a big loud speaker. come on. to say.
time to get up time to go work time to. go to school. long never changed my mind london. communist party here's the news it's all. very high peach noise. have you heard about peach king opera. mouse wife. created. very political. speaking opera. to sing. read songs about mao party regime.
it was awful. it was. using high-pitched voice but singing red. songs so we had to. hear that. once a while. my. so they would they would just have loud. speakers everywhere and you would be. forced to listen to the propaganda all. the time well yeah it's like a. you know it's like when you see the nazi. movies they have on the concentration. camp it's. but they don't have a 24 hour stay. and they they have in the morning.
in the morning. time to get up time to go to school so. you cannot sleep in. it was that way when i was in college i. was in college from. 1981 to 1985. long stop every morning you cannot sleep. in. if you want to escape classes. and you just have to cover your years. once they turn it off and class already. started then you'd be quiet then you can. go back to sleep. that's how bad it was it's like.
we we really we really don't have any. privacy. don't so that's why you you keep. everything i learned keep everything to. yourself. don't trust. when i ask questions. it's like a. by the way i did have a couple crushes. about my. um classmates in middle school high. school. you know that's natural right.
but we are we're not allowed to date one. boy. in middle school i was class president. he come talk to me oh no the girl can. talk to me to say i'm so scared what. should i do. she received a love letter from him. and basically he had a crush on her a. pretty girl. in junior high. she got scared she. you know what to do she come talk to me. because my parents apartment just next.
to the school. i was so brainwashed i was so. politically correct. of course you know what to do we're. banned from dating. you. give this letter to teacher. she did. and that boy never smiled again. he probably got a referral went to. private meetings. did criticize. probably even noted on his student file.
every child had a student file. secret your parents and yourself don't. allow to see what's inside that's how. they track you. so if you get discipline action like. this. then you will get a. read up in your student file. and. of course after work up this country i. feel guilty about what i did i was child. i did not know. and the she. and him just never.
smiled again i don't know what happened. to them privately. and uh so we're not allowed to take. that's why you're not allowed to look. pretty look like a girls and you know. i had to learn how to do makeup after i. come to this country i never learned how. to do makeup. and i think the most i did in college. was a lipstick. and of course we're all young we don't. need makeup but. but they're saying so everything is a. bonjour lifestyle if you do anything.
that western people do. you will get criticized so. clothes like this approved hairstyle no. dating. and. once a while. i hear a classic music. one minute during a news break on the. radio of government radio all controlled. by government. my neighbor only one family out of eight. had a little radio. i said that's so beautiful i heard a. classic music piano.
during the news break. every day that time. during a news break a short time there's. a classic music. after all that revolutionary operas and. red sons and. we. we were deprived beautiful music. so i baked them it's dinner time. can i come in to listen to. next to the radio. very close i will not bother you eating. dinner because we're too poor to have a. radio.
and they made me in. and i want to go there just concentrate. myself in to listen to a classic. like uh sometimes vining sometimes piano. sometimes it's a simply very short. oh i i don't know what it is it was. magic. and my tears will come out and i said oh. this is beautiful so beautiful oh thank. you so much thank you so much. and so my entire childhood dream is like. dad when can we buy a radio so i don't.
have to bother my neighbors and listen. to it. we never had a radio. because my dad mom was not high enough. and they were always in that their. entire life was in debt. until i come to this country. from my graduate school. or a research assistantship job 500. months. i saved money i helped my parents to pay. off their debts. and um and my dad said well why do you.
need a. radio you have loudspeaker every day for. news. and i need to go to work i need to save. money for a bicycle a u-spike. my dad is very hard-working my mom's. sick all the time. so we'll rent out my dad. and. he will get up early in the morning. go catch public bus. and bus were always so crowded. and. so people fight to get on.
two times. two times my dad told me he got locked. down to the floor lying down there. and bus drive by his ears. one time he come home really pale he. said i could be. killed this morning. and uh because i got locked down and by. the stronger people fighting to get on. the bus to go to work. and you could lose your job and if you. don't show up work on time you know. everybody had to fight and get up early. in the morning so my dad's dream is to.
have a used bike. and uh. a. a little fan in the summer to blow air. because i he saw me doing homework i was. sweat like a little pig just like a. covered with sweat on my face. and. they said you know what those are two. priorities. i get to myself use bike or get your. little fan to blow air in the summer for. you to do homework because i was a good. student.
and my dad was very proud of me. so so i never had a radio and my dad did. get his used to bike and later. he had to borrow money to get me little. fan from my uncle. and. you know pay back gradually later. and the one say when people say they. don't understand when they want the. socialism of communism look what kind of. life we had was a. probably unbelievable. primitive. poverty that people in this country will.
never. know the details about it. and as i said i got a. frostbite. and. i even did not know. about back to the bear fest story i. mentioned to you earlier but i don't. remember it. what happened my dad. spent lots of money. to get a bear fat it's a superstation. if you get a bare fat. like a really fat like a bacon right. bear fat is from bears.
and the food on my. and fingers in the winter. were all so red and swollen and uh. and like frostbite they would go away it. would help and of course you can also. use to fry food and to make a you know. like a chinese food stir fry. so he got them. and he's just sitting there. and. i did not know. i did not recognize it was something. valuable i i saw was some trash in a.
little you know. jar or something. and i'm the one who throw away but i. don't remember that. so. so i was. punished by my dad but it's like last. year they told me you did it you throw. away not not you two younger brothers if. my baby brother who is five years. younger remember that. he must be right because he's five years. younger i don't remember it. i threw under the rock i don't know what.
happened. i must be too painful too traumatized. and. but my dad bless his heart. you know very hard working. and uh. because. my dad had too much pride too much human. dignity. he would not put up with his company's. party boss in his day factory. so one they. treat him like dirt like an animal. and the ponding table. my dad that kind of guy were pun table.
back. and they're trying to get rid of him for. many years. and i remember. in the 80s. um. late 70s. they said. hey mr tong we want to send you to. countryside to work. remember everybody work for the state if. they want to send you to go somewhere. work. it's not family package you go to work. by yourself. it's very common back then families are.
separated. so my dad could go to this countryside. work. it's like what it's like a. take two whole day's bus to go there. and to work maybe come home visit once a. year or something my mom would be home. with three babies my dad refused to go. say boss. my wife is a premature baby very sick. all the time. i got to stay close to my three kids.
they rely on me to take care of them. and my wife goes to hospital all the. time. and uh. so he said. i cannot go. and then they always trying to fire him. so finally. as soon as he turned. on it like i think about 45 or something. they called early retirement. to say. no more job anymore retire earlier. and. my dad thought you know what.
i retire earlier i could start my own. business that was after cultural. revolution. under the xiaoping people allowed to. have their own business. like even straight vendor business my. dad is very handy mechanical oh i can. fix bicycle i can fix tricycle he said. okay i would take early retirement. instead of going to countryside to work. my wife and kids left along. and that way i can just make more money.
even because he can work longer hours. too. and they will not give him a state. license you require city license. to have a business on the straight to. fix people's bicycles. so my dad said well why because you are. retired worker. you have. a salary we need to get a license to. other people who don't have any jobs at. all. my dad said that's not right my salary. barely keep my family fit. we have family fine my wife is sick all.
the time i need to make extra money. and my dad is such a man with dignity. he did not figure out he need to. come up with lots of cash to bribe. if he did the bribe he might get his. license but instead. he was just made of integrity he did not. do it. he just did it illegally. so he worked in a. so-called black market. he worked at night to fix people's. bicycles he also fixing bicycles was a.
black market occupation yes wow i know. you cannot imagine that and because they. refuse to give a license by the city. officials it's called changguan they. were their government. and. so my dad actually later and fix a. tricycle. so. people who that time if you. carry passengers around. inside the city when people need the. transportation right not everybody had a.
bicycle want to use bicycles so he would. you know transport passengers come up. let me get in. and um he will he's a strong. so tricycle then two passenger can sit. on the back. and my dad did that illegally. and. he got robbed many times. and one time. um somebody bit his. nose broke his.
nose. bleeding and and he run to the hospital. could not call cops how can you call. cops if you're working legally right i. mean they the government investigated. his his tools his tricycle before so he. dare not to. report. and they took all his money all his cash. too that he would just manage to borrow. money. and start over again get a. you know and he said. you know no matter how hard it is how. dangerous it is but it's still money.
that's that's why you know i would say. the government. regulations take people's rights. to make a living away. and sell back to you. it's called the. occupational license here. yeah but. my dad that's how he he. he worked like this for many years to. pull me through college. remember. to go to college even though.
the government recruited me. at this age of 17 when i. passed the college exam nationalist. college exam. and. i was red child my file all very. politically correct no problem with. family and the best score. and i was i wanted to go to study law. because as i said. i started to ask questions. i need to search for truth. and. but then. where did i get the food money.
my dad hard earned. money. cash from. illegally working. in the evenings of the streets to get me. food every month. food money every month when i was in. college. four years. from when i was 17 to 21. wow. that. is. unfathomable.
yeah and people say well you were red. class you could have good life in. communist country. because you were workers workers rule. that's what the. you know. karl marx said the workers rule they. great proletarian cultural revolution on. their mouth. everybody suffered. everybody. you if you're on top of the one percent. you're okay i'm sure my mom had all the. meat he wanted. and the dated older woman played with as.
many women as he wanted according to his. private doctor's book the private life. of chair my mouth. because. he was a god he was an emperor. and he can do whatever he wanted and we. could not even look pretty. we could not date. and could not make a living. and the mom had a famous saying. if someday. everybody in china can eat. roasted beef in soy sauce with potatoes.
then communism will be fully fulfilled. just afford to eat that dish. i can't eat that dish every day. even later after china's economic reform. my relatives could afford that dish. better than in the past you know and. china economy got better not because. communism is because the economic reform. opened up. and. it basically adopted free market. capitalism a little bit.
but with still central control and. planning. and then the economy just took off. but that's why they sell you communism. tell you. who can give you free health care free. child care. free education and give land back to. their parents that's what the communist. party promised mao promised to all the. chinese before 1949. and. last one remember they were.
fighting japanese first actually most. time was nationalist party. chiang kai-shee's government called that. time remember was a republic of china. that was actually the government. before the communist government called. the republic of china. under. guaming damn nationalist party. they did most of fighting against. japanese. and mao was recouping reorganizing. and. and then later.
had a civil war. you know communist party fighting. nationalist party. and. the nationalist party left so republic. of china. um. gone to taiwan. and. and people don't know the history to say. oh taiwan is a part of china. if you really study history. that's not true. taiwan was under japan for many years. taiwan was an island.
when shanghai had to flee china. and. then. they went to taiwan. and many years later taiwan become. a democracy. more than one party. dictatorship. and uh because shankar she died and his. son become the president and the. transition to democracy and free country. and become one of the four dragons we. call the little asian dragons four of.
them you have. taiwan south korea singapore. and uh what is another time hong kong. hong kong was under british rule. very good economy. but. but they're trying to indoctrinate. all the mainland chinese for years. we got to go liberate taiwan. and. they use a patriotic education. trying to push down on hong kong. students who subject to british rule for. many years.
who resisted. centralized. education industrialization by beijing. that's how the hong kong students had. umbrella movement. like a 2013 2014 led by students. and the joshua one. now in the jail after 2019 the hong kong. protest against. the china's imposing. national security laws. so hong kong is gone. and.
people got to realize. who are the enemies. of communists. it's the people. who believe in freedom. democracy. separation of powers. judicial independence. they hate them so they hated hong kong. they hated taiwan. and they hate it they still hate. america if you look at china's. propaganda today inside of china through.
cctv. they're not. propaganda and. basically demonize america. i have a chinese girlfriend in north. carolina. she married to american citizen. her family told her in china in china. her family in china told her do not come. home with him with your american husband. he's not welcome. that tells you today. ccp how much propaganda that is.
to brainwash its people. it's very sad. that the. 1.4 billion chinese. are enslaved. but always consent. they were under zero kobe lockdown. testing every day. no food for 10 weeks my friends were. starving shanghai trapped inside their. apartment for 10 weeks they had the. money but they could not go out.
stay home. their doors were burned. barbed wires on the community. building stairs you could not get up. totally disarmed. even under lockdown like that. and people still support it lots of them. still supported the party. can you believe that. my family in china. have no idea what i'm saying here. if they knew. public will criticize me.
my uncle who went to countryside my. three uncles went to countryside. for 10 years after mile. finished using the young people regards. in the cities. and they were become violent. they were fighting each other on the. streets. and the generals told the mao to say. you got to do something with those young. people. he started another campaign.
down to the mountains. get re-educated by the peasants. send them away. to the countryside. you have no choice as parents you could. keep one kid youngest stay home. so my grandparents my grandmother and my. step granddad they only got to keep my. end at home youngest. all three uncles sent to countryside for. 10. years and you are allowed to come home. once a year. that's it once a year yes my grandma.
cried every time my uncles my special my. favorite second uncle came home i always. want to see him he was sent to the um. rural countryside near burma. you know in southwest china. and. grandma will always cry when he lives. i remember i was. still in elementary school. i. gave him my penis and my penis. saved up from chinese new year some.
sensei. oh uncle you'll be gone i only see you. once a year here take this he cried too. okay and he come home. no life. no job. no skill. no high school diploma. and. and they were allowed to come home if. you're single. if you get married in the countryside. your household registration will be in.
the countryside if you marry somebody in. the countryside you were not allowed to. come back to the cities. for that reason. none of my uncles. took a wife. from. 17 to 27. and he came home had to rely on friends. to arrange to meet somebody to get. married. because you have nothing you don't know. anybody then time is running out. he had to start to date people.
then subject to one child policy had one. child. my my my cousin. so. but a lot of those generation people. though red guards. some of them still not awake because you. don't know the truth they will talk. about their life they will laugh about. it. my uncle is very bitter. but still. they don't know. the truth. i have my family asked me. to maul mouse death every december on.
his birthday. mao died in 1976. he's a mass murderer. but. my family said let's take one minute to. have a memorial for him. human sorrow human tragedy. and. i really i just become speechless i. cannot tell them. when did the one child policy start.
in the 80s in the 80s yeah when anger. mao is kind of weird under mao. mao said. be a mom is glorious have as many kids. as you want i remember my chinese. teacher had nine kids. no birth control. because he said. we got to show the world we have lots. lots of people. and. i heard he had no compassion. when people crying hold his hand kiss.
his hand. telling him about. poor families. he no smile. and no laughter. when people told him during a. next so-called. mass famine. like people are starting to test. he had no reaction. look at lots of people. yeah. 20 meaning no big deal or something like. that i don't know if it's true or not. it's very scary.
that somebody like that. people worship him like a god. but he has no. he has no respect to human life. and uh but then all of a sudden. he died. and the. communist party had a new leader. and they wrote into law say. push for one child policy. because the china economy was just about. to collapse completely.
and after mouse deaths. and the extension opinion said. let some people get rich first let's. reboot our economy. and uh. and that's also country population. growth they blame bad economy. on two. to big population too many people yeah. too many people incentive. it's your political ideology your system. complete failed.
more people in this country may say. that's not real communism. you know how many people have to die to. prove to you. real communism socialism works. 100 million people died. in 100 years. under communism. how many experiments do you want. so. if they know the real history if they. know this what happened.
to us. during most cultural revolution. you would think. history should not repeat. but today's china. is already in cultural revolution 2.0. the chairman she. wants to have. common. prosperity. so that's why you look at his policies. that.
he took over basically. lots lots of private huge. industries and companies. a billionaire jack ma was forced to. retire also disappeared for a few months. because he dared to criticize china. regulators on economy didn't didn't the. ceo of alibaba disappear to. that's him jack that's him that's him. alibaba. and his company. also was told cannot go public in hong.
kong. say how could a private company get so. rich. it's of course there's a power struggle. i heard that the you know lots of. companies billionaires got rich under. me the you know former president. and young faction and the cheese faction. are constantly. fighting each other to gain power to. gain control. so. when chairman she. came to power 2012.
it's 10 years now that's why he's. subject to. another third term coming in the fall. he changed the china constitution to. allow unlimited presidency. but will he become he's the one that. changed that. well so-called voted by 99 percent of. life. 99. and. you know. people of congress which is upper step. people's congress. china's constitution.
says. all chinese parties. are under. dictatorship of china's communist party. read that. so but under dan xiaoping. he did say. we should have term limit. so then limit himself to two terms or. five years ten years. and same thing happened to hu jintao and. the jung jaming. but she come to power.
he got rid of that. so people should know that. why. he has we call him a um. new mouth. you bow he's that bad. he's a hardcore. communist. and. so they. even celebrities. were quiet now in china. all the youtubers celebrities famous. actress actors and billionaires and.
millionaires got rich. from a past china's. limited. free market capitalism. and allow private industries and private. enterprises. and. and they were. kind of staying low file keep their head. down now and. sometimes they disappear. china is famous for these parent people. in my. row house. community housing.
courtyard. i heard two neighbors disappeared. their family never find out. what happened to them. i don't know what happened i was child. but my dad told me yeah they're gone. they went to business trip they're just. gone and the people still disappeared. today in china. and there are dark prisons called the. prisoners conscious. and the human rights lawyers if you. practice human rights as a.
career as a lawyer. that's a very dangerous career for you. to have in china. if i stay in china i could be the jail. too. by saying what i'm saying. and. because i thought when you go study law. is. really to. protect people. to. promote justice. and equality. no i was told in law school that.
law. is a tool. for the. party to use to govern their masses. so all the chinese people just messes. i was depressed. so remember as i was asked question at. 12 years old. at 17 i went to law school. i was asking questions again. so i wanted to study. law to help my country to become.
a society rule of law. and heard my professor telling me that. then. i got depressed again. i was lost to soul for two years after. mouse death. and now i was lost in law school. what should i do in ways of my life. so i become rebellious teenager. that's my awakening started happening is. a i became rebellious teenager in. college. and.
we were subject to department education. mandates so when i first went to law. school in 1981 which is college degree. for four years. and they banged us also from here living. down still. band dancing parties. and the band blue jeans. blue jeans is western lifestyle okay now. we're blue jeans to go to school campus. and. but we were rebellious we didn't care so. much. so we would just constantly.
have our hair wet. and it's like oh my hair is wet i just. had shower i cannot put up i need to get. dry so here lay down past you should we. constantly fighting with the you know. guards at the gate because my dormitory. was outside. and. so eventually um we got a boom box to. play music on the hallway of dormitory. dormitory lights shut off at 10 pm. as adults college students who had a. curfew.
10 pm all the lights came off 10 pm so. as college kids we could not sleep. and we were learning how to dance in the. hallway. with a book box into like cassette play. cassette play dancing music to practice. our footsteps you know and because we. had to run into a dormitory bathroom at. night it's one location in the hallway. so they had to keep the lights on in the. hallway. and one year later.
finally. they say okay you can have dancing. parties no. the 80s was like china's cultural. renaissance. remember that needs to campus square. 1989 students protest. we had a huiopong. as the china's new premier. he wanted to have political reforms. besides economic reforms under the. xiaoping to say. you know.
chinese people should decide. what kind of country what kind of. political system they should have. he did not even say two-party system. he did not say overthrew the company's. party he just said we should discuss. that. maybe we should talk about. democracy. then. he got a merchandise. he knows his position. when i was i think at that time. in the 80s. and.
that's another story about that leads to. tiananmen square. massive peaceful protest. but i was in college oh now we can have. dancing parties and we can wear whatever. we want to. and our pictures transitioned from black. and white. to kodak color film. all the stream vendors were sending. kodak color film and i started to wear. very bright colorful clothes and i was. told not to in in in high school and.
middle school. and. and i went to dancing parties almost. every weekend. and. i learned disco. like uh we're 20 years behind and. but we studied we learned disco. i just. just be able to. shake your booty shake your body any way. you say fade with a very. fast speed music we feel sense of. liberation. sense of.
freedom. oh that was a. best time of my life in college up to. that point. and. i did escape classes because i lost. interest in the legal system they wanted. me to study. and i was very interested in foreign. students and faculties on campus there. are some exchange students and we invite. them to our parties so all private party. inside dormitory.
and ask them hey what are your country. like what are your country like my. english was very bad. i couldn't understand much. but the one american student. changed my life. um. he met me at a dancing party. he said lily. i want to show you something from. america and give me his a student. exchange building address. i want to visit him. and all foreign students and buildings.
and have guard all chinese students will. have guards all buildings have guards. security guards nobody is like a. old lady or man retired. watch everything. so i had to go fill it up. who i'm gonna visit timing time out what. i'm gonna talk about. and where's my address what major i have. as college student so i went to his room. i thought i was gonna i had no idea what.
to expect. you know something from america cool. awesome. and he actually showed me. a pocket. constitution. he said. have you heard of this i said no. and then he. i said is not good. but he read to me. i remember oh i remember. my english is good enough to remember. that. all men are created equal.
and i i said. this is your funding. document what do you mean. and he told me. that. lily it doesn't matter you're chinese. you're a woman. you have yellow skin. see our founding fathers in america. believe. all humans. are born. equal and they are. children for god.
your rights come from your creator. not from any government you by being you. have individual right. i've never heard that before. i was getting emotional when i talked. about this i said. my light bulbs come on. i say oh come back. i saw our talk was so fascinating i said. i'll come back. and. so i went back another. time and the.
because my english just wasn't good. enough. and then he went through a couple more. with me bill of rights. and i learned. hey i have an individual right from. first session so second time when i go. back to visit him. i did not register. i said well i have a right i have right. to talk to this person why should i. register tell them what we're talking. about and make them to track me. i have some.
common sense that they don't want they. don't like this i can get into trouble. by telling them what i'm talking about. so i basically just. the lady has to go to the bathroom pour. a tea just watch out right with his gun. temporary i just tiptoe run upstairs. and and the tip to run down. it makes good movies someday. yeah. and uh and i just remember he told me. all those rights.
speech. religion. and the press. a simple name. and the second memory. i was very impressed. really really you have this. oh i just saw this country is awesome. so. i still couldn't understand lots of. stuff and i just remember those rights i. said this country would be awesome. for me to come someday.
if i have to give up on china. he puts america into my head and the. individual rights will never go away. so that they come. i graduated. i wanted to think shanghai so bad. because i don't want to go back to. my home province it's very isolated next. to tibet in sushman province. and not many foreigners there most. important shanghai is international open. commerce city that you have more.
foreigners you have more business and. and of course. i wanted to stay in my same law school. to teach. that's only way i can stay in shanghai. we do not have a job market when you. graduate everybody get a signed job. and i'm supposed to go back where i come. from i have to make. lots and lots of extra effort. to. to ask please please. can i stay shanghai can i get a we were.
the first graduating class. at the law school class. so. we had five positions out of 60 students. and. i wanted to. ask for one of them for me to stay in. shanghai. and. i think i might be the only two one of. the two. students from outside of shanghai get. that job because mostly they just maybe. stay in shanghai or something and and. but it's so it takes extra effort.
and so so they said well. you you are very very sociable you have. good personality maybe you can stay in. shanghai teach part-time and manage law. firm on campus part-time. and because china was rebooting the. economy and started to go international. and in 1985 under the opening up reform. so. so all the law school graduates. naturally can practice law because we're.
so short of people remember colleges are. closed on their mouth. so we're the first graduation class. now the empowerment required you have. master degree or phd to teach so i was. lucky to say okay with my bachelor. degree i can teach and i can be lawyer. and i loved my law firm job because my. academic dean is expert on international. law so he and i would go travel to. some big companies to consult with him. and i can be his assistant.
and also receive clients. at our law firm on campus. but my teaching job. i love the students. but i had to be academically and. restricted. there's no academic freedom you need to. teach what is. allowed and pc. and so. i was told that uh. be careful with your students. my.
people don't understand china. universities or schools they need to. understand now. we have two lines of supervision so. every department on campus. has companies party. committee. and academic team. and you have a president chancellor of. university you have a party secretary. who has more power. is party secretary. so my department. you know like a committee chair is very.
powerful. so we have to in order to teach in law. school you must join the party. otherwise they question your loyalty. so i was. put on professional status. for a year. on the party. to see how i behave how i. you know be politically correct. but as i said because i.
was fighting with my company's party um. committee boss. to worry about. my lifestyle what is lifestyle anything. you to. you do you're doing with your personal. freedom time. it's a lifestyle problem he always say i. have lifestyle problems means i went to. dancing parties with my friends with my. even some of our students are like one. year i mean i was 21 right 22 there when. you're younger. and. then.
and i was a dating. a boyfriend from shanghai. and i was visiting his parents home in. shanghai. with his parents. invitation. even share a bed with a you know. their daughter. and my party boss told me i have a. lifestyle problem. i say well i said well i said professor. what if your daughter is in out of state.
you know you would love to for her to. have a host family to go to. have a home meal. because my family are so far away. and. but she said you should not go to visit. people's families so before you marry. them you know it's like a the counseling. like bother you what you do with your. free time and then what you teach in the. classrooms. so within the first year of my law. school faculty member. i was fighting him.
and. and that's when. i think i kind of decided. maybe china is not for me i was not. happy. i was oppressed. and i cut my hair short. i wear suits all the time trying to look. more mature. and you see some pictures i took i. really was depressed third time. and after i become. assistant professor of prestigious law.
school. in shanghai. but so what i wasn't happy. i was a. feeling. oppressed can i imagine i go through my. life like this for rest my life. i i just couldn't. my friends who left china come to united. states mail me pictures. that was like a. 86 87 that time. i saw beautiful. an american you know rural country and.
animals and. cows and farms and. and he said my friend said. america was such a percentage very well. because i'm happy and sociable you know. very. assertive would say that you should come. here because he can sense i want i'm i'm. really depressed that time. so he encouraged me say hey just apply. for some graduate school. so i started to apply for graduate. school i quickly realized. if.
i want to come to america. i need to change my strategy right now. because. i need to get the permission to quit my. job. if you don't get the permission to quit. you have to pay back all your pass to. your salaries. and you need permission. from your leaders to go apply for. private passport. then i have to get a visa so i said oh. if i'm going to set my heart now to. really escape.
china for good. how i'm going to get permission to leave. if i keep. kind of fighting with my boss. so i start to sell my lips. go to political study meetings weekly. and speak up support the party because i. used to sit on there just quiet and then. they can tell me they can tell. that i was challenging them in silence. by not saying anything. by look at their face and look into. their eyes.
and. so i have to change all that strategy. to create a different kind of perception. in order to leave. i got a i met an american. professor on college campus. and i asked him to sponsor me say i need. to get out china can you help me i need. an american citizen he's willing to. sponsor me because i don't have money i. don't have family and friends how i'm. gonna allow to even get. an. enrollment acceptance and without.
scholarship or without money helping. support myself i i. not like other chinese students they all. come here studying math science. engineering they can get a scholarship. i study law in china. i could not get into law school so i. just want to go to graduate school for. any social study majors. and and my english was bad. so my sponsor actually told me. i will sponsor you but i also i get you. help with one graduate school.
the dean was my next-door neighbor. so. so next-door labor was the dean of the. school of social work in ut austin texas. so. i said yes please help. and my english is not good i cannot pass. gre i can barely pass toefl tofu is like. any foreign student must pass an english. test to be accepted by still by colleges. okay yeah so so i got away with the gre. which is a graduate school test.
and to say well waive that and the word. or your toefl exam. and. i will be a sponsor so you could go get. a. enrollment a notice and get accepted. then when you apply for passport and the. visa you also have to show this all. those financial paperwork. and. so. i went to um. the passport local police station seven.
times. before i won that i went to my. party boss. i got accepted by a graduate school can. i please. please. quit my job and go to apply for my. passport. he said well consider your performance. in the past years pretty good. and. but you still need to sign agreement. he made me to sign agreement. to say. after your master degree is down.
even on your own time on your money. did not cost them a penny. you need to come home to serve your. country. okay. and. or if you don't come back. there will be two consequences. number one. we're going to kick you out of ccp i. said no problem. i was forced to join in order to have a. teaching job in the school. number two. is kind of tough.
number two. they will send my. household registration personnel file. back to chengdu back to chengdu. where i grew up i was born. my hometown. because shanghai is the first tier city. chengdu is the second tier city capital. of situate. to go from second tier to first tier. city it's very difficult even today. you attract. by your household registration if you.
don't you don't have legal status you. would say that you don't get the. benefits. so if they kick my fire. all back to chengdu that means if i. fail in this country i do go back to. china. and i cannot go back to shanghai i have. to go back to chengdu to get a job there. and uh i hesitated for one minute. i signed it see no problem. i. i will stick to the agreement.
but in my heart i said i better make it. otherwise i have to go back my hometown. go back where i started. and where i was born and. so then my sponsor named me money. applied you know. to. have a visa and apply i mean for. graduate school and. bought me an air ticket to fly to united. states.
i remember when i got visa. after three tries. and everybody was shaking hand with me. and touched my hair. because there were so many students. lying up long line to get visa once you. get a visa they feel like you one foot. it's already in the u.s. so they want to touch your hair. and to feel the good luck. to give them some good luck so they can. get a visa next time. oh they said oh congratulations touch my. hair said you one food is already in the.
u.s. and i was smiling too i was so happy. so because all i need now is the air. ticket. and of course we um we have to go health. grading you know do whatever legal way. required by the u.s. and for student visa. and uh. and i then i and i flew for the first. time i actually. flew home from shanghai to chengdu. to say goodbye to my families. to say you know. um.
dad. i i will i don't worry about fairness i. will get rich i will help you pay off. for your debts. and my parents were in debt that's why i. had to raise i had to raise one hundred. dollars for my friends one dollar you. call lots of chinese yeah so it's like a. several friends gave me the money. i you know i write down and i will pay. you back with interest. i need the money my parents had no money. i also raised money for my trip back. home. first time take this airplane trips.
quaker i didn't have time. and. my dad was crying you know this is the. second time he lost his salary he lost. salary before when you get paid. they give you cash and somebody could. rob you. and when you take a. bus or something and. he was so afraid to tell my mom to say. i cannot tell you mom she'll get so mad. she'll get so sick she might pass out. and i said dad don't worry i'll help.
so i use some money i raised gave to my. dad and paid my own way. back to shanghai raise more money so by. the time i come to united states 1988. may 11th. i had. 100. 5 20 bills all borrowed. and. and later i discovered i was in the hole. with my sponsor 1200. in debt to him because he write down all. the expenses for me to apply for. graduate school year tickets and all.
that and i promise pay him back. and i i couldn't speak english. but when i arrived at austin texas um. after like two stopovers one was in. japan. and the first time i get out of china. like within like. two hours i was in tokyo airport. it was like a. totally different world i just remember. japanese people were so polite and so. clean there and constantly ball you know.
i was doing the same thing then i. stopped by denver. from denver i saw the rocky mountains so. beautiful. and then i flew over austin texas. and my sponsor and pick me up the. picture you saw my first day in america. at austin airport with a huge big smile. and that was the one he took i'm very. grateful he took that otherwise i will. have nothing to show for it but i was. so so happy after that day in my life.
i would always call that. and that was my happiest day in life you. know up to. that day which is two months. and before my 24th birthday. wow. now we can take a break. you want to take a break yes take a. break yeah take break drink water use. bathroom and um because now we're gonna. focus on. what happens to me. after i started my. new life in this country right yep and.
and saying so that was 34 years ago. so. that's a long time. but first 20 years i was i was just. learning learning learning i was not. political i was not totally awake yeah. so that's that's a. that's the weakening process. i love. to talk about my meat and so what i'd. like to do right now is show everybody. what i'm packing don't get too excited. ladies because i'm talking about.
good ranchers you see good ranchers has. premium meat cuts so. how many of you are tired of going to. the grocery store and you look at the. meat aisle and it's empty or it just. looks like garbage because that's what. it is it's garbage that's why you get. good ranchers. it gets mailed you get meat premium meat. mailed right to your front door so. ladies you can get excited about that. who. doesn't want meat.
mailed right to their front door. like on on call literally on delivery. anyways comes your door they're all. individually packaged. like this. some good looking meat right. throw it in the freezer. you thaw them out you never run out of. meat for dinner. so so you can have meat. every. single. night that's right carnivores so what i.
need you to do is go to goodranchers.com. sean. you're gonna get 30. off your first order and. they're gonna ship you your meat for. free it's like a dream come true so. anyways once again go to. goodranchers.com. and get your meat shipped to your front. door today.
i remember going back behind the window. i reload another magazine. and as soon as i pop out to shoot. it all goes black. the brutality of it all and really what. we're up against i had no left or right. lateral limit to even comprehend that. the body mutilations the beheadings the. dismemberment the. human shields all that. but the night prior my participator. comes in and he's like.
everyone's going to write their death. letter. jesus christ. and then you hear stories of your. friends that you went to boot camp with. the school of infantry with that are in. your body. that are fighting for their life at the. same time that you're fighting for your. life in floridia just to find out how. those dudes are dead. i don't remember the exact numbers but i. remember the feeling and. i have never been able to shake it ever.
since. that's when i had this out of body. experience. at the time i had no idea what happened. i thought it was dead i saw this top. down view rules going on i could see my. body i could see my point man still. shooting i could see my other teammates. on the ground. we were stacking so many bodies that we. had to send patrols out to move the. bodies because there was interrupting. our fields of fire holy [ __ ] there were.
so many bodies being stacked that the. locals were driving up their ambulances. and picking up bodies also. [Music]. all right lily we're back from the break. we just got to the part where you got to. the u.s. and you've been here for a little bit. and but i wanted to ask a question. what was if there was any was there any. propaganda. any negative propaganda toward the.
united states that they were telling you. about before you made the trip to austin. texas. um when i was growing up as a child um. of course china was close to the world. so every day. and. um i think america. um supposed to be. an imperious country. and. i saw cartoons i saw posters and on. their walls and and talk about defeat. american imperialism all the time yep.
and of course after china is opening up. and americans started to build in china. foreign capitals coming. and then and that kind of demonization. reduced i remember. my first. and american movie i watch i like very. much was translated into and chinese. it was like a gang wednesday wayne. about the civil war.
and. john denver. yeah i feel so sad when he died. he was a and seeing all their country. and folk sons and beautiful boys. why would they let you come to the us if. we're an impure country well remember. and when china opened up. and. and they started. to allow and exchange. students programs. so they. foreign students are able to go to china.
and. and chinese students were able to apply. for schools in the us that was beginning. of the international exchange. programs. um. so. but you had it was not easy you had to. apply you had to get permission to leave. so as a result there were also um. student scholars were sent to overseas. to study on government money. so some of those we have to be careful.
some of those were tied to the ccp work. for the government. they went to universities laboratories. and and so we have to be careful with. that but at the beginning though china. was a focus on reboot economy okay. because they were less focused on. political ideology. and then xiaoping said. no matter you know if you're black cat. or white cat. if you can. catch. a mouse you're a good cat that means let.
some people get rich first so my. neighborhood the first guy who ever left. the state factory job was a young man. who said. i'm going to start a restaurant. and he was the first one got rich in my. poor neighborhood he worked day and. night. on his restaurant he was the first one. bought a motorcycle besides everybody. was still riding bicycles. and later he built a. kind of little bit more um.
modern and housing for his parents. in the countryside by the time i went to. college. and. he was the only one. who had the money to give me a gift. a little pink long-sleeve shirt. i wore that shirt because of brand new. clothes i got. and to walk into my college campus 1981. uh-huh yes i remember i don't know where. he is today i'm lost in touch but i.
remember that very very well the brave. entrepreneurs chinese who left the. government guaranteed job to start their. own business. and they got rich quick because china. was just wide open no private. entrepreneurs who were doing all kind of. business so that just picked up right. yes yes. which i support i think. people were tired of poverty tired of. starvation so when people could start. their own business they want to keep. more what they earned. and.
look the results you know it just took. off it worked. well i got some questions there's been a. i have a lot of questions actually. and uh i know a little bit about some of. this stuff but i would really like to. get your perspective on it since you. lived it. and. so one thing that i've always been. interested in hearing about is the. social credit scores that's going there. that are going on over there can you. explain a little bit about what that is.
so in my last part one story i talked. about. they. tracked everybody from birth to death. right. my parents had to give permission to get. married and once you get married you. have to go to your local police station. to register as a household formed. and when you add each child you have to. add a child into their household. registration and all the information is. there you get a little booklet okay. where you left who you work for and.
and how many people in your um household. you get the benefits with that you open. up bank account you go to hospital you. go to schools you get your coupons with. that. and when you become individual like in. student you get a student file track. individual when you become a worker then. you get the personnel file and continue. tracking you. so social credit system. supposed to be based on the traditional. chinese paper tracking but now it's digi.
digitalized. they got. i guess idea from a western's uh fight. card score right they give you score to. say your financial um. status. and your behaviors if you're worth. let for the people to lend you money so. you can pay them back. they call the social credit because. they discovered wow this big tag is so. convenient to track people. everybody got a cell phone. if you just tied to their cell phone.
with everything they do. and. you know they were tracking people. anyway by the papers but now it's so. easy you cannot. they did anything once you track them by. cell phone too right. so they started experiment in some big. cities. i think now it's implemented all over. the country. and. they basically they used all different. province and.
some credit agencies um by the. provincial government. and to develop a system. and. to say that. everything is on your cell phone so show. social credit not just about your. financial behavior anymore like you you. own money did you pay back on time you. own somebody stuff did you pull mortgage. on time now social credit means. how many facebook groups oh not facebook. china don't use facebook banned. um how many online like uh groups you.
have. what did you say. online. and did you say anything. anti-government did your friends say. anything any government in those groups. on wechen. so you are judged not just by your own. speeches behaviors but you also are. judged by the social networks you belong. to. let's say you belong to 50 weight chair. groups. and some of those group members say. something. not politically correct needs to be.
censored. that can affect your score. uh. also they put everything on your phone. to. like a. let's see. they start normally they start with when. everybody gets 1000. points right. yeah everybody hold on everybody starts. with what with 1000 points one thousand. points yeah. that's a starting point so if you behave. civil one you share you study.
chairmanship red app. and you see something you share. something that's good they want you to. share. you get points. and you you you you don't owe any debts. and you comply with everything. and. then once you can get a bad point. is okay you oh lots of there you don't. pay back so you finish your. situation credit is bad. and you see something. they don't think it's.
right either on social media on your on. your phone because everything is done on. your phone now with apps and stuff and. watching share. and uh. um. let's say if they catch you. um going to church you're not supposed. go school church. and because the churches stay sectioned. you have to go to chinese state. permitted churches. if you get caught go to other places. like a home church which is banned. then you get a reduced point.
and uh. once your points. getting so low like below 600 or. something. then when you go to buy a train ticket. airplane ticket they say well. you credit the social credit score is so. low. delight. you cannot travel. cannot borrow money to buy. anything. your kids can be affected by you credit. score cannot go to the best school.
possible. cannot get a promotion. cannot get a mortgage. a business loans so everything. is a political size it's just a lot more. than faker score now. so i say that's a certain use with kobe. right now. everybody. has a a qr code on the phone. so when they want to. find out. what is your status by testing you every. day right. um.
it's a code has to stay. green color. so if you go to get tested if they say. well we test you. and your code is. red or orange. you lose your freedom you cannot go up. wow so you gotta go swipe it you gotta. go swipe and your phone app and qr code. stay green you can have your permitted. freedom. that's why you see. the big cities now all go nuts.
used to be bustling busy cities people. have a small business going to. restaurant to eat and movie theaters and. shopping. i just saw a video last night about. shenzhen which is like the. one of the most open international. special economic zone city in center. next to hong kong. it's like a ghost town. very few people outside shopping dining. where are they going are they all stuck.
inside. there's long line testing. everybody 19 testing. and my friend in chengdu just said. oh i was a. house quarantine for five days. i had to learn how to cook. because he used around his wife to cook. i happened to be his wife was traveling. somewhere else in the hotel. and he was guaranteed could not go up. for five days because the one positive. cases in his district everybody's.
getting locked up. so he said oh i cooked some simple meals. she was pictured so the five days five. days. i was going crazy he said. at least i could teach some classes at. night otherwise i don't know what i'm. gonna do because five things by yourself. at home and you couldn't go out you had. to cook something but in shanghai my. friends were locked down for 10 weeks. they ran out of food to cook. the united government to deliver you. food and there was corruption high. prices.
so they were hungry they had money and. they are retired lawyers. they were hungry. and. so. i'm just afraid. see this kind of system. already affected leaders in the free. world. did you save maximum passport. yeah similar to. china's. social credit system tracking people and. you saw right now esg score have you. heard about your esg score. an environmental.
social. governance score. which is. adopted by. an s p 500 global reading agency to rate. cities state government. private corporations public traded. corporations. your. score based on. climate change. like let's say. utah state. the state treasurer said my state is.
financially responsible but we got a not. so good esg score. because. they judge you by. climate change standards. many companies you have. in in terms of renewable energies how. many all your gas companies you have in. your state. it's a. political size you have to comply. with their narratives with this kind of. i called almost like a.
new agenda. global's gender. make you complain. affect our. supposed to be financial market. capital market. like uh they learned did they learn. something from china's social credit. system so long term if you think about. it they can do this. to our state agent. states cities. and the public traded companies and. they're going to tell you small business. owner private company business and.
they're going to tell you individuals. later everything's subject to. permission and license. from the government. on politics their political talking. points so everybody got to comply and. told the lie. otherwise get cancelled look what. they're doing now cancelling immediate. like committee issues you have to say. the right words you can censor words. that's exactly what happened right in in. their mouth. words are censored. scientists artists musicians all have to.
be careful to be pc. send your staff does that tie in with. the camera systems as well. in one podcast or or i think it was a. podcast i had heard you mention that. there are. there is one camera. per every two citizens. in china with facial recognition. technology they use this. western technology to make those lots of. facial recognition cameras.
so you can have millions people walking. in the city. everywhere you go has a. facial recognition cameras. and also. equipment to recognize your voice when. you go apply for. a new cell phone in china. you scan your face. and. you record your voice. so. everything that on your cell phone later. is tied to that.
there's no privacy you cannot go hiding. as a foreigners when you go to china. when maybe when you go to custom. and. now you know why olympics athletes when. they went to china they will recommend. it don't take your cell phone take a. like a cheap one-time disposable used. phone a burner phone burner phone or. even laptop. so that you don't have something and get. it installed and then start to track. monitor everything going on on your.
phone. uh. it's uh it's a totally um surveillance. state. they. they don't think we deserve any kind of. privacy. and i i read this funny joke one. government official. use his phone. um. to pay for prostitute he got immediately. arrested it's like how stupid are you. you don't know how the opposite. they're also trying to get rid of cash.
in china now you banking record your. bank account you everything is connected. with app on your phone. so when you use your phone to pay for. stuff. it's all tracked well they're doing that. here now too i mean. what was the. they just came out with um. i can't remember the dollar amount but i. think it's if you have is it if you. spend more than. i can't remember the amount what you.
spend more than or if you have a certain. amount. in your bank account. than the government tracks. well do you remember the number remember. used to be. five thousand used to be ten thousand. dollars it's five hundred dollars now. it's like uh you become like five. thousand i even don't know what is the. current number now um. that's why they big banking. subject to government regulations. in the name of november used to be in. the name of anti and.
terrorism wall right then they're gonna. track everything you think every cash. you withdraw on cash could be. potentially. drug money you take or you deposit. and i was told by my bank a few years in. colorado. anything over five thousand dollars at. the end of the day. they send all their record from the bank. to this. government source yeah a site. and uh.
that's why you know why people like a. cryptocurrency. right well china banned that too correct. well they basically they don't want. competition yeah they want their own. cryptocurrency. now china are trying to promote one. and it did not take off and they ban. bitcoin they ban lots of cryptos but. still. they just created black market people. still use it because lots of chinese. will say chinese today. their money is stuck.
in china. so how do they get them out you know and. and. so sometimes they have to figure out. creative way. or private way so they look at the. blockchain technology. and they also look at a offshore and. business accounts like that's why you. know hong kong they just took over hong. kong. and because actually lots of businesses. use hong kong that time to do business. and to also watch money and uh but now.
they all have to you know really and. keep their head down when you talk about. public. facial recognition camera law i remember. the goal is to have 600 meaning. public facial recognition cameras. throughout the whole china. 600 million yeah. we have 1.4 billion chinese. china has 1.4 billion in chinese united. states think about we have like a 300. what 300.
million people yeah. is that scary number to even think about. it. and the voice recording. i i don't know how people feel and if. you go to hong kong now because hong. kong lost to china control as a. foreigner you go to hong kong. um because they impose national security. law to hong kong. so if you have american passport but you. go there say something it's a threat to. ccp. in the name of national security north.
they can arrest you lock you up. yeah i guess i won't be visiting china. anytime soon. oh you have to. be careful what you said. i've already said enough. yeah do you think this do you think. they're trying to do that with the. entire world and that's what the tick. tock thing is i mean the tick tock tick. tock's basically. it's essentially an enormous chinese spy. operation. people have to understand. how china's system works.
china is one party dictatorship. the largest totalitarian regime in the. whole world. and. if. a company gets. that big right. and. chinese entrepreneurs are pretty smart. they created lots of good product. but there's one saying they cannot. escape. china's national security law. one party dictatorship.
any company in china is subject to. the one party rule. tick-tock on your kids apps and have all. the data. if the chinese government ccp said. i need the audio users data. they have to turn over. they they they're not like us like oh i. want to protect the privacy i i cannot. turn that over to you my government. always trying to get data on private. citizens and.
you know um. but in china. you have no choice or you lose your. business you'll get shut down. you know billionaires disappear. or. you know forced to leave their positions. retire earlier. and force them to give to charities all. the time. you know. and uh and you also saw how dangerous. this is. you saw what happened to trucker freedom. in canada.
trudeau. they. learned a lot from chinese communist. party. so they. shut down people's bank account if. you're a trucker you don't want to. comply to vaccine mandate vaccine. passport you cannot withdraw money. and look what's going on in china today. that. because the real estate bubbles start to. burst. people who were paying for mortgages. have not got their house built yet their. apartment built. and uh.
and after they lock down they want to. bank. to the to to get the money out. bankrupt. no you cannot waste your money so people. start protesting. and uh and they get beat up. in herland province there are some other. cities now it's got more and more cities. people come out to say. we stopped paying for mortgages. we have not got our apartment supposed. to be built. and some company only one bankrupt will. never build we start paying for.
mortgages. and. so because people cannot get the money. from their bank i mean how do they i. mean they need the money to. to to live so they all just also just. stop paying for mortgages so hey i. cannot even afford food and rent why. should i pay for mortgage you will never. deliver. i think the china economy economy right. now is uh. it could have a financial or is already. having the financial crisis but you. don't hear that they want to censor.
their information remember they control. all the media. and they don't talk about it yeah and. china's. debt is very high. um like 250. of their gdp their economy is big. supposed to be. if their number is even trustworthy 18. trillion dollars gdp then 250 percent of. gdp is their debt. so but also the private citizens money.
deposit it's lots of their you know cash. in and and. the bank's assets but now people stop. paying for mortgages how is this going. to collapse china economy and ccp and. affect the world financial market. and the economy because. unfortunately so many people today still. rely on china for the supply chains. and i think the whole world does yeah. the whole world does it's like when you.
want to section. putin but you rely on putin for oil for. lots of supplies. and and for even food and fertilizer. from ukraine of course you're going to. suffer consequences so. so i have been calling out. that the. three world. countries. have been infiltrated by ccp. yeah they have spent lots of money. through their united front.
with chinese called. united front oversea branch to. get money. into confucius institute into our. schools and colleges for past 18 years. it you know i think last year. um. the last one just finished in new. hampshire and but now the confucius. institute funded by government by ccp is. a changing name. to very good name called the chinese. international education foundation.
really yes. and so that way they can use that to. fund money into our. colleges and still continue to um push. for their agenda. in you know indoctrinate our students. not just chinese students coming here to. study have. university exchange programs. and. you know. even harbor you know like the i mean. lots of private university got lots of. money from china. in the past and failed to report to our.
you know the the federal government. department education is supposed to. disclose that. so. well they're setting up these companies. all over the world that it's you know. they bother lots of companies during. covey too they're setting up companies. all over the world they pay the company. and then the company donates the money. to. the school or the business or. yes or whatever so it's not. we need to follow the money you are. right follow the money it's dark money.
called the dark money funded into our. schools non-profit organizations. government even interfere with our. elections. um i don't know if people notice that uh. last year when chinese professor was. speaking mandarin. he was bragging about. interference into u.s elections. he said. wait. wait that means chinese government we. could not fix trump. but now we have the.
friends in the highest u.s government. and that video got took down immediately. but lots of people. like. shout it yeah. record it and keep the record. so that shows you. where they're stand. they can buy companies you can they can. invest in your own local economy credit. jobs buy land they're trying to buy land. and building this infrastructure for. every cultural business in north dakota. right now near grand fork our military.
base and i was under north dakota tv to. say. no. don't do it. you need to absolutely oppose this. and the senator cotton has a bill to to. ban. chinese firms. tied to ccp. from buying land. in america i agree. i support that you know why as a. foreigner even as a chinese citizen in. china. you are forbidden to buy land.
per constitution of china. land belongs to the state they could. belong to the people that people stay. whoever has power. so. you foreign countries and foreigners and. chinese citizens all cannot buy land. why are we so naive let them come here. oh chinese firms come here to buy. business buy company and set up the. buildings. and one just shot down by fbi quietly in.
our capital. they could use huawei they. very advanced surveillance equipment. to actually. um. spy. on our. capital and our politicians military's. communication network. i we have been very very naive and also. people thought hey china economy is good. now maybe we just keep doing business. with them and they will become like us. a democratic country.
the opposite has happened yeah yeah very. dangerous let's talk about some of the. concentration camps over there and i've. heard you mention. organ harvesting as well. how. common. is organ harvesting well i left china in. 1988. in the 90s. my dad even told me there's this massive. meditation practice called the chi gong. later called the fa lang gong.
basically it's a kind of a branch of um. you know buddhist. um movement to meditate so it's a health. practice. and you sit down you meditate. um you know kind of similar to yoga but. it's more traditional chinese style and. for long time humility it's very good. for. um. health reasons some people cannot. cure their health issues except doing.
this. so at the beginning the government. promoted because lots of people. communist party members also benefit. from this. practice and got cured. and. but they had like. one time 100 many members. and chinese communist party only had. like. 90 million members so they were huge. so one time their member was falsely. arrested so the falun gong practitioners.
went to beijing near the compound of all. the officials and just sit down there. meditate. and. kind of like a peaceful protest. gentlemen was the president that time. and he saw that as absolute threat to. the power. dominant power of ccp. so he banned it. once he banned it in the 19th 1999. so this let me say anybody who practiced.
that. gets arrested. and. estimated when many people. got arrested and disappeared into the. dark presence. and. without due process. how many people a mini. a million yes. without doing. for meditating for practice this uh. falun gong. and they're very healthy people because. you know. this is good for your health to practice.
this. um. i heard that i was already in this. country i had to learn about that. and i heard all of a sudden china. and. was accused to use their organs were. still their life because chinese culture. do not. encourage people to donate organs they. want to die as a whole body. and there's no cultural tradition of. oh i'm going to donate my organs to save. another life. but now you can go to china.
you know there's phone conversations and. records and test money to show. you can get a liver you can get a. kidney. for about 170 180 000. per each. and the. for three weeks. three weeks. say fresh very fresh. and the whistle plural start to tell. people once when they come out to say.
i was forced to take organs i couldn't. do it i i you know escaped and. and the united the nation were urged to. investigate china delight. and the. some western countries like i think a. european countries like great britain. maybe canada all condemned it and. forbidden their um organ tourists go to. china. to schedule for organ and transplant. surgery because they say that's crime.
against humanity i was just in dc and. middle of july i marched with the falun. gong practitioners two thousand of them. at the end of the capital. every year and. named. june i think it's july 20th. uh it's the end of their anniversary. to be banned and they will protest here. and they were so decent people they were. meditate they were march. and they were hold the signs to you know.
to against this crime against humanity. to stop. organ harvesting. and i think we need to really come out. strongly supports people they're they're. based in new york but they go to dc and. in new york they protest and every year. whose organs are they harvesting. they're falun gong practitioners. and they're healthy. um. i saw some pictures that they will give. you injection like if you were in the. present they gave you injection. where you were kind of.
passed out. and they take your organs and take your. cornea from your eyes. yeah so they're taking it from prisoners. yes and they die then they die. and uh. here's another thing just for the record. it's. prison. in china doesn't necessarily mean. you're some type of a felon. no those are following there's a you. could have a maybe a low social credit. score but they're falun gong.
practitioners that means they're. prisoners of conscience. because their religious belief. and they practice. meditation so there's no trial no due. process you don't know who is the prison. so they go there keep them and they. tested them they keep track their health. and when they have. when they need your organs and you have. a match then you get to choose and pick. and uh. basically murder you for organs some.
people say the xinjiang like a wiggers. cultural genocide is going on maybe. they're also if they run out of. fundamental practitioners and they might. have to look at a. cultural genocide xinjiang weaker people. who got arrested. in the presence. maybe they could be also their target. the saying is though china is one of the. five security council of united nations. on the council of human rights uh. council.
no investigations. and i think that the western free world. countries really need to come out. strongly. to condemn this and also. tie that human rights violations abuses. with our. trade deals with china. i i'm just worried i want to warn our. business people. think about what is long-term. consequences of you just focus on.
profit money-making inside the chine. market. remember lenin said let's deal with. capitalists let's make them make a rope. sell to us. or buy rope from them. but we will use the same ropes to hand. them later yeah. so we need uh i mean why should we. continue to do business. with a country like that i'm calling for. decoupling. from a prc market. if you are still doing business buying.
from them. it's time to. evaluate your options of course as a our. country need to. bring our manufacturer homes back here. cut regulations cut taxes. to give incentive for business people. to manufacture their products here to. provide services here but if you cannot. compete you have so much government rate. tapes and control and high regulations. climate change that's why gas price is.
so high you know we have to buy from. other countries inflation is high. and there are so many things that it's. caused unnecessarily by our bad. democrat-controlled. government policies. that so we rely on china we rely on. middle east for oil and and renown. russia i mean europeans favored iran. russia. and doing business with those not. friendly countries we're hurting. ourselves we're hurting our national. security because you cannot even.
negotiate from the position of strength. we're so weak as a country right now in. the eyes china is laughing at us. that's why they can't threaten us and. threaten nancy and pelosi to go to. taiwan. led a unelected. totalitarian regime to threaten. democratic elected. our. representatives. is a is this a wake-up call. we should have wake up earlier long time.
ago instead of right now biden is weak. so he's already talking about. you know let go of lots of tariffs. and because you know we need china for. lots of products and stuff. it's time to decouple. from china's economy if they're going to. threaten us like this eventually. they're going to. use a force to take taiwan they will not. even care what we stand as a us. government as a people of the us.
so we have to really. take this very seriously china is our. biggest national security threat right. now. not russia. what do you think why do you think. excuse me. why do you think china. is 100 behind russia right now because. they share their similar. ideologies. remember swollen soviet union.
was a communist bolshevik country. and china has been always controlled by. one party dictatorship. they have a more common ground. than china with western countries with. u.s. democracy. freedom personal liberties. they hate that. it's like oh you're going to let your. citizens individual citizens have right. to vote. and the right to criticize government.
and. right to do like a. their business without our control. without the you know complying with. our laws. you're a threat to us it's all about. their power their control. that's what communists do. they don't value individual rights. freedom liberty and private property. so all their capitalists want to sell. china something. you know.
now it's time to question long term. what's gonna happen if you continue to. do this without hold china accountable. for their human rights abuses no they. can't just threaten the united states. whenever they want to they were. threatening to shut down pelosi's. airplane. what are they gonna do next. what if they really take taiwan are we. ready. to have the free world. totally. shut down china's economy because they.
will use a force attack taiwan a truly. democratic. you know country they might say oh. taiwan is part of us well that's what. they say well that's why u.s has been. very very ambiguous about oh we we we we. have one child policy and you know but. we also will back taiwan so that's like. since 1979. carter administration. threw taiwan under the bus. made a deal with communist china.
that's where we are today. but. our elected officials can go to taiwan. can talk to them can call can do. business and they can if they want to. whatever they call it maintain status go. but we need to morally. stand up for taiwan we need the military. sending whatever equipment they need. and then they did hurry up i heard there. are some deals got delayed by the. administration. and the taiwan is.
under risk right now so we need to do. lessons right if you don't couple with. china now how do you do economic. sections against china if they. invade taiwan. why are we still allowing chinese big. firms. come to wall street. and. you know you take advantage of our free. market and capital investment lots of. dollars lots of dollars. include some. pension funds in the united states. invest in china may be managed by black.
rock. very big in china. and uh. so we need to look at all expect right. now reevaluate. what we have been doing in the past. like. 20 something years since china joined. wto the world trade organization. what is. what do you think china's endgame is. what is their what is their goal is it. world domination. yes is that what it is it's called a. xi jinping's chinese dream.
he called that chinese dream. it's not chinese people's dream. chinese people are the biggest victims. of their own regime and government. they're not treated as human beings. so. chinese dream is a ccp xi jinping dream. by. 2049 it's under agenda. prc will become the dominant power. economically largest economy in the.
world there are second largest right now. after us. militarily. and politically. that's why they use the silk road. initiative. when like a one one bell one road. buildings dollars. international debt trip investing. in developing countries. i went to south africa 2018. as soon as i get off the um major.
airport. a big sign back of china leads african. people to prosperity. and they give money uh as long to sri. lanka china can file bankruptcy rights. come. you know they took over. um. the sri lanka's airport once they. stopped paying the debt they could not. make the payment. and china took over djibouti.
uh africa country. as a military base there because they. also use a silicon road initiative. um people start wake up to say maybe. this is dead trap. in a very very good interest. low interest loan to. big infrastructure projects. but as soon as you cannot pay. they take over you lose power to. negotiate. and. guess lots of those governments anyway. corruption is everywhere there's i mean.
like who knows what they do with their. money right for the goal. to be global domination they're doing a. pretty damn good job and they're doing. everything that they should be doing. right they're going to take it without. firing a shot and they're doing breaks. now so breaks like a like the western. countries have like a g7 right. and they want to their own in like a. alliance. so. used to be the you know the you know. breaks and that means you know like i.
think um. you know india. china. russia. and uh um. some countries in it um now they can. expand it. they just talk to north korea. and the iran. and all those. not friendly countries with u.s. to. invite them to join china's brics. alliance. so we have to be very smart about.
what we're doing. before it's too late. and they on the communists. people might be naive to think after. falling off burning wall. that uh oh you know. communism took a pause took a break. no. china's communist learned from that. they do not want what happened to the. collapse of soviet union happened to. them. so they are very very um. savvy in terms of how we are going to.
maintain. power influence. control in the world. their people are hungry starving but. they spend lots of money overseas. and to form alliances. to buy. foreign companies foreign government. corporations even youtuber influencers. they created those youtubers. who can. make china look wonderful there are some. all over the world you can tell they.
they probably got money from china and. they they talk to their. narratives. and i watch both because even in also. mandarin chinese so get to know what. they're talking about what is their. argument. and guess what they bought amc. our movie theater chain owned by chinese. firm. all the newspapers in this country. chinese mandarin newspapers. they were the big shareholders chinese.
look how many of them interviewed me. except the. ntd tv and the epic times those are the. media. empires started by falun gong. practitioners their ntccp. all the rest they don't interview me i. am the only republican kennedy in the. whole country right now. for congress born and raised in. communist china. well.
earlier today off camera you mentioned. that the ccp has been in contact with. you has threatened you. what how are they contacting you. what are they threatening you well i. wanted to. i wanted to actually go back to china. visit my family friends 2019. i think they discovered me right before. my trip from social media on facebook. i post something people like share a lot.
i talk about how you know. i came to this country with nothing. non-native american dream and. i fled the tyranny and poverty. come here. i was educator. i'm still on the speaker bureau for. voc. victims of a communist memorial. foundation based in dc to educate our. kids in middle school high school. colleges and i also go to long parties. and organizations grassroots and.
and you know to speak about my personal. experience. horrors of communism and socialism. because i discovered they need. eyewitness like me to go. and. they discover me. because of my speaking for past five. years as a you know educator speaker i. have lots of followers so when i post. something they share like a lot and they. discover me then they start to come on. to attack me. told me.
and threaten me. and. 2015. i had my ar-15 picture front of u.s flag. that picture was seen by 1.3 million. people on social media online i i want. people. that. you know the largest. killer the champion of mass killer is. always a tyrannical government look what. happened cameron square. and i got threatened they even.
threatened my. children. and. i think the threat come. i think that time was oversea or. something so i totally glowed that. how did they threaten you what did they. say. oh. most of them just say oh you look so. scary by holding down that ar-15 and the. one guy later my husband found out he. was based in uk. and he said. watch out lady. like i'm going to.
um use that to. like a what do you call the crush your. daughter's head or something my children. my daughter. and um. so how do you know that's ccp. i don't know i don't know that but so we. let that go because that was 2015 one. gun picture right my ar-15 picture. talked about but the cp spies are. everywhere in the world not just in the. u.s in free world all over and uh my. husband did a call we didn't call fbi. and then said oh don't worry it's a it's.
like a trace to somebody in uk we also. reported to facebook. then 2019 they were long stopped like 12. of them some dress some is white some is. chinese someone is indian looking and. they they threaten me in both chinese. and english bad english and they copy. paste copy paste call me all kind of bad. names call me cia agent trader. you know like a yellow dog and uh and. don't you ever want to come back to. china or to asia.
it's like they own the asia now i cannot. even go to maybe. thailand or something whenever they have. a trading then they can use a national. security law. and you know like whoever they want you. know this foreign country has to you. know send the people they want back to. china. so i had to cancel my trip then most. recently. this this february i was already running. as a congressional kennedy i did i.
launched in january i put on social. media. i oh i'm gonna speak. in cash county of utah as keynote. speaker for republican committee 200. like 250. people republicans came to listen to my. talk. and then one chinese fight showed up out. of 200 people nobody knew who he was a. chinese man in his 30s come to take my. whole thing paid 75 dollars for the. dinner event and then told people at.
table. you all been brainwashed by her. our leaders are. fathers. they're not like the united states. elected by the people that left never. say hi to me and the people saw that was. strange odd so they told me about it. and fong jiang that's the name and they. have his email address and on the way. drive to the speaking site in salt lake. city i saw one school had to sign their.
confucius institute. that means their people are there nearby. so they saw me told me on my social. media oh i'm gonna speak there here's a. where you can register pay money and. come and he come so that's why now from. now on i don't put my location on social. media and when i went to california. speak to the um at the memorial for june. forced hammond square massacre and they. hired a security guard. for the event. and uh because you know as somebody from.
new hampshire we have constitution to. carry in new hampshire but i cannot do. anything when i go to other you know and. stay big blue states and cities you know. and so i'm telling people. because my unique voice and my stories i. can make an impact in this country and i. cannot be corrupted i would tell the. truth. that's why i got lots of attacks. and not just ccp maybe they were funnel. money attacks through my opponents in.
this race. and. but i said well i survived a mouse. cultural revolution. i will survive everything liberty is my. north star i will do whatever i can. to tell my stories i cannot be silenced. i cannot live in fear. you know lily we covered a lot of ground. and i want to start to wrap this up but. one of my biggest fears. is that.
china. has over 3 000 years. of archived records. wisdom to pull from. we have. less than 250 years. of wisdom to pull from. and uh. you know if you look at it that way the. odds aren't the odds aren't great when. you have 3 000 years. of. knowledge. to draw from because compared to what we. have 250.
what's it going to take for us to pull. away from this. and to get out. in in in. to get out from under the china. influence. i am a. kind of terrified for our country. and i have been educated for five years. saying how the marxist. um. indoctrination happening in our schools. and. i'm a very stark supporter of.
school choice. educational freedom account. and the parental rights and partner. control i've been telling people. that what is going on today in america. i call that. neo-marxist. cultural revolution i saw in china. there are lots of i categorized 12. tactics and similarities. between the one i survived.
and the. the current one is happening in the usa. but of course. it's not more scale. it's in selective. places. but in in terms of massive student. inductation they are happening. regardless you live in red state blue. state. public schools. why. should people wake up to ask. why their parents lost control. of what their kids are taught in schools.
why our teachers today are almost like a. trained. social justice lawyers. want to force down your kids through. about critical race theory. about 1619 project. about social emotional learning. about transgender. ideology into our kids. and if. we as parents feel passionate against. that and speak up at the school board.
meetings. now you got the federal government could. target you as a potential domestic. terrorist. are you kidding me. parents who love their kids who don't. want this kind of crap. to indoctrinate your kids. i feel terrified because i see this. similarity for example. five red classes five black houses.
under oppressor oppressed. happening here. there's a whole bunch of categories. by some federal agencies now if you dig. into it by whistle players. whistleblowers. what kind of groups are oppressors what. kind of groups are under oppressed. it's scary this seems similar. you're white male. you're born racist. so you're born by association you're.
born guilty. by something you cannot control and. you're guilty by something you said you. did many years ago they're gonna cancel. you. like lots of people lose jobs and. careers business because what they said. done in the past. i don't know. what else can come back to bite you. like they can dig into 20 years ago. but they're so righteous. and i can be i was called. having extremism in new hampshire after.
my first debate. and the new hampshire democrats. tweeted. the granted sailors in new hampshire. will reject. my extremism. what is my extremism i love america i. live in american dream. i don't want indoctrination or schools i. do not think america is a systemic. racist country i believe in civil rights. movement have come a long way.
i love people to be united and to be you. know like all critic equal i'm a people. of color minority business woman. and just love this country i want to. tell my stories but i'm extremist. so if you don't believe the government. and create a massive dependency on. government i use tax pay payers money to. fund all those big government projects. include all the government schooling. without parental. you know and consent and control i'm.
extremist. and i have said conservatives. got shut down church is closed. and people are afraid to speak up i have. democrats who write it to me anonymously. to say lily. thank you for what you're doing. and. we will vote but we're afraid to speak. up right now we will lose our job or. lose our careers. how many good teachers trapped inside of. our.
schools but afraid they work activists. look at our military people are being. fired because they could not get a. religious exemption. vaccine. mandate. and they're trying to offer army trying. to offer 50 000. sign up bonus for six years service but. you have to get vaccinated. use taxpayers money to offer people lots. of young people i met they don't want to.
join because they mandate because they. political size army so we are hurting. our recruitment goal we are hurting our. readiness. china's laughing to the bank yes our. military is all focused on social issues. but not the rightness. and our federal agencies. are they still on people's side are they. still swear to defend our constitution. rights. and our politicians who are so. divisive.
and our people. lots of them don't know. what's happening china what's happening. in this country what are happening in. history what's happening in venezuela i. just met a uber driver last night. dropped me off at my hotel said lilly. i'm from venezuela my family are hungry. stuck there. i've been here i'm illegal here for four. years now. and i love america. i'm like you i'm worried about america.
why are they all using similar tactics. and terms. here. equity for example is communist term. equal outcome. but cooperation trainings called less. awareness trainings di. dei diversity equity and including. trainings all talk about equity. but. they only talk about equity of skin. color of rays and skin. but they don't want diversity for ideas.
personality skills talents. most important diversity in my mind. is actually. diverse ideas thoughts voices. and the problem solving solutions. no they don't talk about that you have. to talk left line. i'm just worried about this country is. becoming. more and more like the country left. but i have a face. in american people.
i have a face in our constitutional. republic. that. if people wake up if people get to the. truth. and they will be a massive. walking away. from that kind of far right far left. far radical. ideologies. and we don't want to go down the. socialist path. but there are 100 members of progressive. caucus people in the u.s congress right. now and i would be out lumber when i get.
into congress like a uc right i mean. it's more than just quad they're like. 100 of them. and they all want socialist policies and. my democrat opponent. and congresswoman custer has been there. for 10 years she votes for those. policies she votes with them yeah and. and talk about equity all the time. you cannot have an equal outcome without. doing socialism and communism which is. use government force to rate distribute. wealth.
period. so we should not even use that term but. everybody is probably use that term from. the left side. it really scares me and other immigrants. to say what's going on in america. it's really i always tell them please if. you have good immigrant story. share that with me on my youtube channel. we need more and more immigrants. stand up speak up. to save our country now from this taking. over destruction.
of you know far left. socialist policies ideologies otherwise. we we have no place to go this is our. new country. yeah. well how do people find you. um they can go to my website at. lilytonwilliams.com. having lots of interviews like this my. published articles. endorsements on there and if all the. grassroots people could donate 20 bucks.
