It's so good to see people from communist countries speaking out. It must be horrible to come from communism only to see communism later coming to the country you moved to to escape communism. Thanks to each one of you who are doing what you can to warn us.
Yes, it’s horrifying 😞 I was born in a communist dictatorship and the UK seems to go that way now, with the introduction of Social Credit Score (under the guise of weight loss and health)
15 years ago legal immigrants from former communist countries noticed this thus this is at least two decades or so in the making.
Bosnians survived communism "ethnic cleansing".
I didn't survive just to cucc to leftism aka defacto satanism.
It is horrible. My parents and I when I was very young fled a communist hellscape. To see the west fall to the cult of woke scares me and occasionally I have night terrors as I did when I was a young child.
Ayn Rand ?
FASCINATING calm here, between Mr. Benjamin and Xi. She is absolutely spot on with her take on the comparisons of Mao and the uprising of Marxism in the West. She never in a million years thought she would see this happen again, after all that has happened in China... but here she is! Thank you Xi for telling your story and please continue to push back upon those who would see Mao happen across the West! ❤
Thank you Xi Van Fleet.
The parallels are uncanny. If you stop every 30 sec., and reflect on what was said, it isn't difficult to see the same things happening all over the West, particularly the USA and Canada.
I had a prof. at WWU (English) in the 90s who has a similar story. It was shocking what he told us.
I wish her all the best, in living a happy life, and also is speaking about the growing tide.
It's not uncanny, actually. Because it is in fact a plan detailed to a T by Socialists and applicable to deconstruct societies, be them conservative traditional, liberal progressive or anything in between. What's happening in America is the latest iteration of a modus operandi (aka MO). James Lindsay has been dissecting this planning, and it's theorists, on his channel New Discourses.
If it sounds creepy once in a while. 😢 Brainwashed children-killing their neighbors 😁✊🔪🪓 for not being sufficiently aligned with the "group", people who will do nothing but kill to be loved/feared 😡🤪by the Group. Sectarian. In Europe we have many antifxas and few people know how to relate it to the place where they ideologically came from. 💀We only needed some teachers and✍️🙉🙊🙈🐖🔗🔗 psychologists... who were ideologically bound. 🎥 Can you watch this movie: "The Killing fields" please. Maoist camps in Cambodia 1974 and the role of the murderous children aged 12, 15...💀💀😐
Xi is a national treasure. She has deep and irrefutable information that we must all hear. To hear her speak is a call to pro-America political activism. Take back our Republic.
My family escaped from communist Albania in 1949. Only a few are still alive, but they are heartbroken at what is being done in America. With all that history has taught us, they don’t understand why a counterrevolution hasn’t sprung up.
Albanian communism was particularly paranoid and violent, I have a friend there who relays stories of his parents experiences. Its hard to even imagine.
Because 'Huxleyism' is far more effective than 'Orwellianism'?
I'm American and took Chinese language classes in high school in the early 1990s. Some of my teachers were from mainland China and were children during the Cultural Revolution. They told harrowing stories about the starvation, how they were eating bark off the trees, or trying to boil leather from shoes or luggage to eat them. One of my teachers had tears in her eyes describing how red guards broke into her grandparents house to steal valuables and smash everything to pieces. They were not exceptionally wealthy but just because they owned a piano and a few works of art it made them "Bourgeois" and enemies of Mao and the people. It gives me the creeps to see what is happening now in the U.S., with the cancel culture and black-and-white mentality of scapegoating anyone who has a difference of opinion from political correctness. I hope we wake up in time to stop this insanity from getting worse.
The green agenda to consolidate cities to reduce urban sprawl despoiling productive farmland has denied people the opportunity to grow their own food.
Even those of us in suburbs still with gardens are having our ability to grow vegetables and keep chickens denied us.
We are being told we are wasting water (bores require a license and grey water use is not permitted).
Keeping chickens endangers our neighbours because it encourages vermin.
Once you look at all these initiatives from the perspective of the Great Leap forward and the Cultural Revolution you start to read the Woke agenda very differently.
I don't expect the low information Democrat voters to ever wake up.
The most terrifying thing she said was that woke culture is more powerful than china's cultural revolution because the chinese people were never free to begin with. It all started in an attempt to be free from feudal rule. In the US freedom is the highest value and still this woke ideology is managing to take root. I wonder why. Maybe in some covert way the US has no true freedom at all? Maybe life and labor resembles slavery, but instead of food and shelter you get a paycheck? I really don't know, I'm from Europe and trying desperately to understand it, bc this cultural madness is arriving here too. We are all defenseless against this until we fully understand it and even then it seems impossible to turn the tide.
@@EllaGreenn Xi's getting the word out.
@@EllaGreenn "" In the US freedom is the highest value and still this woke ideology is managing to take root. I wonder why. ""
the internet has largely destroyed the ability to even say things like "freedom is the highest value". people are drowning in a torrent of information. both extremes of the spectrum for information availability apply to this. The Revolution was so bad in china because there was complete information denial/control... but the same risk exists in the internet age of complete information overload. by it's very nature, the non-stop firehose of activity that the internet spews out... starts fracturing "the narrative" of "the people".
the average citizen can't be expected to keep up with this, so they no longer do. they become "subjects" over time because the world has gotten too fast, too complex. and specifically in places like china/russia/USA, the issue is directly related to just how BIG the country borders are. the sheer size of resources available allows a single nation to get together enough power to do great things, but also to make huge mistakes.
She made me tear up. She has the American spirit in her heart more than half the young people I know today. This evil has spread in our willful ignorance.
Imagine fleeing it only to have it rear its head years later with a new face in a new country
It is terrible. I feel very bad about this. The Democratic party started the cultural revolution in America.
I read so many memoirs from Communist China in the early ‘00s-they absolutely gave me insight into what is happening today. I can’t wait for your guest’s book to be published! 👍🏼
the only one I read, many years ago, was Wild Swans. When all this "cancel culture" (or whatever we want to call it) started happening in the West it really reminded of parts of that book.
@@Leepal1969 I read one called Bitter Winds. It's about a man who was put into an internment camp for casually saying an opinion he had that he had no idea would be considered "wrong" by his government.
In the past of human history and still todays there are alot of horrible things happening in communism countries, in democratic countries, in dictatorship and totalitarian countries.
Srsly, me in early 00's thinking McCarthyism was kitschy paranoia and reading about the KGB files "oh dang, those commies really pulled some whacky tricks, didn't they?! Good thing all their power structures are falling apart! 😅" Me in early 10's "DID NOBODY ELSE HERE READ ABOUT CHAIRMAN MAO WHY ARE YOU FALLING FOR THIS?!"
@@travishill6733 Exactly!
Back in the day (the 80’s), I thought that Communism “sounded good in principle.” I didn’t consider that it’s essentially 100% taxation, or the what the methods of enforcement might look like. In the 90’s, while I was getting my worthless college degree, I wondered why we had to learn anything about Marxism (though it wasn’t much at that), because it had already proved itself to be obsolete and irrelevant to the U.S., because, I thought, WE had easy access to education(!). In the 00’s, I finally REALLY educated myself about the effects that the ideas of Mao, Pol Pot, the French Revolution (and, to a lesser extent, Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky) had on their people. I finally woke up in the 2010’s, and I saw what was well under way here at home, and I tried to wake people up, but to no avail. Today, I’m resigned to watching helplessly as the West makes all the same mistakes as those I spent the entire 2000’s reading about.
But we’re awake, anyway: WE know what’s going on…wait until everyone knows that we’re doomed. Buckle up and hold on!
Amazing. I learned so much. I grew up very liberal, second generation hippie, and didn't realize how many of my ideas were communistic. At the same time, many were freedom-loving, and I do think there's a difference between what I learned and what's happening today with wokeism. It definitely sounds and feels like communism. After all our wars supposedly and actually against it, you'd think Americans would remember what communism looks like. We are not even 50 years on from some of this.
the interesting thing is that the vietnam war happened in a similar timeframe to the cultural revolution. that war really kicked off the democratic party's push into being very anti-war, which quickly evolved into a position that was rooted in being "ashamed of our country, ashamed of our government" . which basically opened the door for them to transform into globo-communists over the coming decades.
The difference between a conservative and a liberal is, if a conservative doesn't want a gun, they don't buy a gun. If a liberal doesn't want a gun, YOU can't have a gun. Liberals are just communist lite, and socialists are already opening the door. Also, TrUe cOmMunIsM HaS nEVeR BeEn TriEd
The idealistic youth are all pro true Socialism. But with maturity comes the knowledge of human nature, which is not uniformly benevolent. In Africa they believe that without colonialism, they would have lived in eternal peace. Sadly human nature does not allow for this, and power is a strong drug.
I’d say they are pushing more for global technocrat authoritarianism using the mind control techniques learned from the communist revolution as a blueprint for brainwashing the youth.
Secondarily they’re controlling the economics and reducing the masses to wage slavery as control and devaluing currency, labor and wages all while the power and capital flows upwards.
Favorite book on this topic is "wild swans" by jung chang. You should interview her benji. Incredible story .
Jasper Becker's "The Chinese" is good as well.
Wild Swans is a must-read
Outstanding episode. I'm reminded of The Red Violin, good movie, but also just because our popular culture doesn't have enough touchstones for the madness of the Cultural Revolution.
Loved that movie. I have a long list of recommended movies. Mostly foreign films I have watched over the years.
@@serpentines6356 Nice, I'm definitely a modern indie film fan who digs deeper than most ppl. However, I can't rly call myself a true historical and international cinephile. If u wanna reply with a few good picks, I'd be glad to check them out.
@@Jules-Needs-Internet-Installed OK, great. Here are some. Let me know if you like any.
There are so many good films I still haven't gotten around to watching. Going to the video store searching the foreign section, and the Library can be amazing. (Our last video store closed this last year).
I haven't been keeping up on more current movies since getting 'addicted' to interviews like this, articles, podcasts, and the "gender bender" issue.

Chinese cultural teachings have given me so much nuance in my path to self improvement. Taosim, Weiqi, Feng-Shu, and the many martial arts and fables. It's was difficult to understand what sentiment or ideology could disrupt such a beautiful culture. Critical thinkers like Xi Van Fleet are prophetic pillars of hope to me. I wish I had professors like her.
Mao's message was believable, although Marxism itself is a lie with a grain of truth, to enough of the impoverished peasants of China. That's all it takes.
Looking at our own poor and soon-to-be-poor, how many do you think would fall victim to Marxist lies?
Because in EVERY culture, there will be inequality.
Even in communism.
Also...
We humans have a hard time seeing the similarities between the power of money/property and political power.
Those who love power cling to it like people who love money cling to money. There's a legitimacy and illegitimaticy to acquiring and using either power or money. There's also grace in how you can use power or money.
Then there's corrosive power envy... of others who have all of the above, and/or their skills and intelligence.
Communism is a faux virtue that allows manipulators to Lord it over others.
the Banksters (and wallstreet) created communism and forced it onto both Russia and China,
both countries fought tooth and nail against communism but lost to Big Money.
Who do you think won WWII. It was the Banksters.
Every U.S. military base in a foreign country means that country is a colony of the U.S (the Banksters).
communism is like a fire, it destroys everything.
the rich like to destroy everything in order for them to come in and take over.
few people bother to learn from history.
It shouldn't. The most technologically advanced nation of the last century had a strong Christian legacy from the Reformation, and a culture that brought us the brilliance and beauty of Beethoven and Bach, also brought gas chambers and ovens. Don't underestimate the evil of humanity and the danger that some ideologies can bring.
Wow Benjamin, her description of the red guard taking over schools and harassing and killing teachers reminded me instantly of your work on Evergreen College. Scary parallels!
Just per-orderd her book. Thank you Benjamin for such a great interview! and thank you Xi for telling your story!
That's a great opening. "Hey I know you!"
"What ways are you speaking out other than accepting random podcasts?" Hahaha!
I was tickled!
@@BenjaminABoyce - It was deja vu for me. When she said that I almost immediately had a similar reaction as I recalled seeing her (2 years ago) on a video where she spoke out in some kind of meeting, maybe a school.
Holy shit, good one Ben
god, the part about not thinking, not being able to think, question- terrifying
Great interview. She does an excellent job of drawing parallel events to her experience of totalitarian communist rule vs. what is happening today in America. Thought provoking.
This was an absolutley must see video. Thank you Xi Van Fleet and Benjamin.
Thank you for these talks. Waking up us all.
Great interview and First person testimony of what actually happen in China not long ago!!! Amazing perspective and needs to be more broadly known!
Sometimes I need to be reminded that totalitarianism operates through peer relationships...
Just look at any major university in America and you'll see totalitarianism in progress in real time. Try and say anything that doesn't follow the liberal doctrine and watch how fast they band together and ostracize you, or push fake or exaggerated charges against you to get you expelled. Toe the line or feel the wrath of the mob
My parents and I, when I was very young, fled a communist hellscape and came to the west for freedom and opportunities. My mother cried when she saw her first supermarket with all the abundance of food and choice. To see the west fall to the cult of woke scares me, and occasionally, I have night terrors as I did when I was very young child.
I've especially loved this interview with Xi Van Fleet as well as your recent one with Amanda Kovattana. It was super interesting to get a good bit of historical insight from both of these brave women. I have always wondered why communism hasn't garnered stronger reactions of opposition like nazism does. Almost all of the examples in history are so extreme and horrific, but still, the hammer and sickle does not provoke the same type of reaction as the swastika. In my household we say ''commies and nazis - they're all the same''. Thanks for keeping us sane with your calmversations.
I think the reason for this is: there actually were more sympathies for nazism from American "progressives" at the time, as well as for communism, but communists took control gradually of American school system and "redwashed" it. Communists, since the 1930s, used nazism/fascism as their scarecrow. It continues to be one of their favored slander terms. Stalin had a special section of the KGB created directly under his command EXCLUSIVELY to frame people as nazi collaborators/hitlers spies. They did this to millions of people. They even posthumously framed the Pope during WW2 as "hitlers pope." Read about it in high level KGB defector Ion Mihai Pacepa's book "Disinformation." They are still slandering everyone as a nazi/fascist/racist etc.
I am grateful for this interview. I am a Caucasian who has practiced Falun Dafa for several years. I have met many Chinese who fled their country seeking the freedom to believe and practice Truthfulness Benevolence Forbearance. I look forward to reading "Mao's America."
Unfortunately they aren't much better .
What is the difference between Falun Dafa and Falun Gong?
@@chrisrageNJ they are the same. Falun Gong is a more specific term referring to the school of QiGong practice. Falun Xiulian Dafa refers more generally to the movement and it's moral principles. Falun Xiulian Dafa, "Law Wheel Self Cultivation Great Way" or just Falun Dafa "Law Wheel Great Way" for short.
Us americans could learn a lot from the rest of the world. Theyve been through it all
Leave it to a little old Chinese grandma to be the most Merican thing I've seen in a long time.
She’s not old.
@@minoozolalashe ain’t young…
She is so wonderful. I love her.
Fascinating! A wonderful calmversation. Thank you both 👍👏❤️
Wow! This is one powerful woman. If only more people would listen; but they just don’t care. Americans don’t want to know what’s going on because they feel powerless to fight it, to fight this horror that we are being led into.
I am a chinese who living NZ. I approve her message. 2020 was the full show of culture revolution.
I grew up in China too. I admire Xi van. She is an hero to tell the truth of communism.
Great interview with Xi. Very educational!! Everyone needs to watch and listen to this. This is what needs to be taught in World History.
Fantastic interview- fabulous woman. I trust her experience and perspective. How can we not?
Americans have become subjects. No longer citizens. I agree with her. The disdain for free thoughtful conversation astounds me. Very disappointed with some of our countrymen. 😢
The best talk I have listened to ...in ages. About what is really going on in our western world.
Amazing guest speaker! Love you Boyce, you rock!
Thank you Benjamin & guest. Also, may I say Benjamin, what a fabulous tone your voice has & your calm & considered interviewing style is very much appreciated.
This social credit system is terrifying. It's going to, and already is to a certain extent, happen here.
True. That's easier to sneak in. Plus truckers and people like Nigel Farage (and Jared Taylor) being locked out of banking and credit. I wouldn't hate Jared Taylor if he was really an evil racist, but he's far from that .. imo. Some more identitarians fault Jared Taylor for being insufficiently racist.
And REGARDLESS if I did disagree or hate them, that's NO EXCUSE for being banned from ordinary commerce.
Even communists shouldn't be banned from banking even though they hate those capitalist institutions that create credit.
As a teenager I read the beautiful and terrifying book 'Wild swans: Three Daughters of China' and never really forgot about it. A few months ago I reread it and it struck me how much today's woke culture seems to have in common with that. I've been thinking about that comparison on and off, wondering if I'm exaggerating it in my mind. So I'm very exited to start watching this video.
Just got it from audible, thanks for the recommendation
Hello Benjamin and Xi. Tuning in. 👂
How did you find her, Benjamin? Such a precious source of knowledge.
This is why I waste my time on twitter: so you don’t have to.
@@BenjaminABoyce THANK YOU!!! 😂
@@BenjaminABoyce Ain't that grand!!!
😁
@@serpentines6356 How very nice of you. 🙂
'Trans kids' condemn their parents today, encouraged to report them to institutional authorities loyal to gender ideology.
Yes, of course, idea behind that behaviour did not come from them. It came from manipulative adults like teachers, school administrators and 'health' care workers who turn them against their parents. It also comes from certain political leaders on the left who propagate the idea that 'your children are not yours'. It's the end result of the left's radical aim to destroy the family.
Exactly
All part of the cultural revolution in America
It is true and I don't understand that people don't see the current cultural revolution that is unfolding. In China it turn very quickly violent. I see lots of young people displaying violent tendencies.
Holy crap, the algorithm hasn't been good to Benjamin. It's been a while!
😭😭😭
This was such an amazing interview. Thank you so much for sharing. She is one smart & brave lady! I wish we could make this required viewing for everyone in this country!
I have no excuse because I'm an American and I could have educated myself at any time, but I can relate to this guest. Increasingly since 2008, when I started paying attention, I have felt like everything I was absorbing since I was a little kid was a big fat lie. IS a big fat lie.
Hey, dont beat yourself up. At least you pulled the wool out of your eyes. 😉👍
Yes, I feel like all the progressive stuff I was taught in the 90s was a sham. I thought we were progressing towards some kind of "Star Trek" Utopia--boy, I was wrong.
When the housing market collapsed and it was impossible to find work, and the likelihood of becoming a homeless person barely out of college loomed over me, that's when I learned that the true problem in America is _Racism_.

What an amazing interview, an absolutely fascinating conversation.
Got served an ad for TikTok whilst watching this...oh UA-cam, you!
You're such a good interviewer. One of the best. I've been thoroughly educated by a lot of your talks in things I wouldhave preferred not to know. Another good one. Whobettertotellus than people from other cultures.
Incredible insightful. Thank you so much. Xi give's voice to my growing discomfort with where society (here in Europe as well) seems to be heading, under the disguise of 'doing good'. Looking forward to your book. Kind regards,
Thank you both for this wonderful interview! I was born in ex Yugoslavia, which had a little softer approach to communism compared to China. However, there were still many atrocities and crimes committed by the communists, which we never learned anything about before the communism fell down in the early 1990s, so I can relate to indoctrination part of Xi story.
This interview is a must watch for anyone, especially those in the West who have unrealistic, romantic perception of communism.
Thank you Xi, and Benjamin for hosting this amazing account of truth. Powerfully relevant.
Wow, this will be interesting, to be sure!!!
This was so interesting, to listen to Xi and hear her story. Wow! Looking forward to reading her book.
太好了！
Absolutely BRILLIANT conversation! Thank you!
Great interview. I look forward to reading her book.
Jasper Becker's book, "The Chinese", is an excellent overview of China.
I recommend it highly, as a "pre-woke" text.
There's also Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago", and his "Warning to the West"...
My big beef is most College students I come across have no idea who Solzhenitsyn is. This is uncalled for.
Solzhenitsyn was a BIG DEAL coming to this country, getting huge media coverage, spoke at Harvards commencement, being held up as a very heroic man, etc.
Yuri Bezmenov from the 80's explained it well and is worth examining because it is so similar to what she has experienced.
This was excellent. Thanks so much for the interview to both of you.
Nice! This is on par with Jordan Peterson's interview with Yeonmi Park, if not quite as emotionally stirring. Great guest Benjamin!
She mentions that her first teacher from the West was a Canadian. Hard to credit that today Justin Trideau and many in power in Academia in Canada are pursuing the Wokist doctrines. And every year another group of students is indoctrinated again.
Wow, I know this is off topic. but that's like a kitty's dream kitchen!!
@calmon-ground962 ... ya, I can see it from the crack under the basement door 😿
This is a brilliant conversation. Giving me such insight.
Thank you.
Thank you, Xi and Benjamin. This is a very interesting conversation.
Great Meeting! Thank you very much
James Lindsey definitely has a handle on this subject.
VERY interesting. Thank you so much Ms. Xi, for sharing perspective!
Thats why they laugh at you when you say they are communist
The playbook for America turns out to be Mao-ism
Thank you Xi for telling your story. I started to detect strange stuff in 2020 where I felt this sneaky authoritarian takeover in my bones and people all around me were complying. It’s super strange in California and so I’m drawn towards anyone who still thinks outside the box.
Wishing you success Xi and thank you.
You and me both.
2020 had me feeling weird before things came crashing down. I sensed something, didn't know what, and then it happened.
Cali born native here, so I know what you mean.
@@serpentines6356 I have this theory that some people are more sensitive to collective stuff going on, I’m feeling convinced of it. I was born in SF a ways back 🥳 when it was a beautiful place.
@@ambermoon719 Yes, some people have their own sensitivities. Some innate, and some learned.
I grew up in a cult like atmosphere, so I smell rats with a lot of what is going on around various issues.
This will be great to hear! It is just so disturbing that those who denounce capitalism and embrace socialism / communism have such influence over others. The irony is that they have benefited more than ANY other generation, from the prosperity and opportunity provided by capitalism. However, what we see is that those who benefited so greatly are the first to denounce that which affords them the right to do so. Reminds me of a Russian man speaking about the Soviet Union. He said [paraphrasing] .... "In Russia, we have freedom of speech. In America, you have freedom AFTER speech". Well, he is not speaking the truth, as he once was, is he ?
You can always find a group of barrel-scrapers to rally against the successful. Resentment is a powerful motivator.
@@freddieoblivion6122 ... Sadly, the cult thinks that "success" is finite and only so much to go around. Ergo, if one person makes $1B, that means 1B people starve in the streets! They were indoctrinated with insanity and using their delusion to destroy the West.
The problem is that Neoliberal Capitalism creates monsters like Soros, Klaus Schwab and to some degree Wokeness. Neoliberal Capitalism is fueled by parassitic speculative finance in a deindustrialised economy that contradicts the principles of Austrian School of Economics and the Free Market, in other words service based and debt fueled economies are doomed to fail. This is not a healthy capitalism but an inproductive Financial Oligarchy. You can criticise Modern US Capitalism from a Right wing perspective and by that I mean true conservative and not morally bancrupted Neocon ideology.
@@freddieoblivion6122oh yess resentment is a powerful force - just like Xi said the 1st people those resentful red guard children and students killed were their own teachers. And teens and young adults are some of the most resentful and irrational creatures which is why they are such useful force for those wishing to take over the society
I wish my dad was like that. My dad would have never taken me anywhere and wait so me and my friend could hangout let alone speak to me in such a calm manner.

We should have made a movie about this and at the end show prof starting frankfurt school and kids talking about it in class in the US today showing its spread. How its happening here.
A friend I knew in in the late 80s early 90s, in University, as an undergrad and she was getting her masters. She was chinese and when she graduated she went back to china to be a christian missionary, in house churches and a university as a music professor.
She stayed till the mid 90s when when things got more difficult again for the chinese.
Great conversation and much needed. 👏
'Good hearted' has proven to be a massive weakness when it comes to protecting your nation && next of kin ...

Excellent interview. Xi is so courageous.
Great topic, great interview!
Favorite conversation!
Young people share this with everyone u know. im old i dont know any young people.. you have to make them listen to this great womens testimony to save their souls.. to save America.
One has to understand that it is at least not so certain that people really chherish their freedom or that they easily give up their freedom in exchchange for an alleged security. That has been proven by the attitude of a majority of the population in regard of the covid-19 policies which were in fact not evidence based but still propagated as such and sold as beneficial to the security of the poeople.
Went to school in US public school system late 80s-90s. We were never taught about what happened in China- maybe one or two brief mentions and that was it.
Id love to know the exact context of how the Chinese themselves learn about the cultural revolution and the civil war etc.
What do you mean “context”?
They learn about such topics in the context of no longer studying inside the PRC not having CCP lackeys looking over their shoulders
@@annarboriter Ru referring to Chinese in China?
I assumed the initial comment was referring to them as “the Chinese themselves” rather than referring to Chinese immigrants.
@@mgkos I am specifically referring to the Han Chinese in the PRC
It's a pity Benjamin didn't ask a bit more about how the Chinese in China are viewing all this. Is there a chance that Woke could take hold there as it is beginning to in Latin America.
That start 😂😂
Ok I already like this lady. Looking forward to hearing her thoughs...
I remember that young man, with his briefcase, who stood in front of the government tank in Tianamen Square. What happened to him?
He was invited to have a cup of tea
No one knows. I believe there's a documentary called Tank Man which explores all the questions around his identity and his fate.
