China, get your dirty hands and ass from Tibet, stop trying to bully other countries in Asia, and stop supporting non-democratic and repressive regimes like North Korea, Syria, Iran, Zimbabwe, etc. I am an Asian, but I boycott products from China. Boo to China!

Down with the CCP- Corrupt, Communist Party! Away with historical revisionism! Justice for the victims of Chinese communism, from the Civil War, the disastrous so-called "Grear Leap Forward" (it should be called the Great Leap Backward.), the massive, nihilistic purge that was the another so-called "Cultural Revolution", the Tiananmen Massacre, and other crimes. Respect freedom of religion! Freedom and Democracy for repressed peoples of the world!

When you analyze Xi, you should put him in a context - not so much as a individual, but as a man who is supproting certain trend or float over certain trend. Although the author of the article represents a small band of something, Xi represents a large chunk of of China's populuation, who want their lives to be gradually improved, and dislike all kinds of meaningless disorder.

the writer is a shameless traitor of his motherland. anti-motherland is his career for making a living.

Wrenching as they are, Yu Jie’s own experiences under Communist rule in China did NOT matter to U. S. whose leader Nixon had embraced with gusto to counter Soviet Union in 1972. Mao’s cultural revolution was in full swing killing millions of Chinese at the time but it didn’t matter to the American Sinophiles of the time who were hell bent of appeasing China.

U. S. has actually strengthened Communist Party’s rule in China. By embracing China and opening up West’s markets to China, West has afforded Communist Party to create millions of jobs for Chinese that in turn has solidified Communist Party’s hold on Chinese society.

Afterall China was a pariah country in the world just like today’s North Korea until Nixon’s 1972 visit. All the West European and East Asian countries stayed away from China following the US lead until 1972 and embraced China after Nixon’s visit. While US would not give MFN status to Soviet Union (remember Jackson-Vanik amendment?) unless Russia shed Communism, it had no problem giving it to China’s Communist dictators with a capitalist mask. Trade with China expanded by leaps and bounds during 12 years of Republican rule beginning in 1981. After campaigning against butchers of Beijing in 1992 elections, even Bill Clinton became enthusiastic supporter of trade with China once he took lessons in foreign policy from Nixon in early 1993 during a special Whitehouse-arranged meeting.

Had it not been for that Nixon embrace in 1972, China’s rise to super power status would have been far more slower with all the US, West European and East Asian markets closed to cheap Chinese products. Had it not been for that Nixon embrace, China’s technological progress would have been far slower in the absence of West’s technology transfers. Had it not been for that Nixon embrace, China’s military progress would have been far slower in the absence of huge forex reserves that China accumulated from the massive exports of cheap Chinese products and China used those forex reserves to acquire latest military technology.

Little could Mao or Deng have imagined that by wearing a capitalist mask, their followers will beat capitalists at their own game. Lenin used to say that ’capitalists will sell us the ropes with which we will hang them’. With West selling such proverbial ropes in the form of technology transfers, Chinese Communists have proven that Lenin saying quite prophetic.

China’s rise to super power status to challenge US is a fitting monument to the much-celebrated far-sightedness of Nixon-Kissinger to embrace China to counter Soviet Union in 1972 just as 9/11 attacks is a fitting monument to Reagan embrace of Islamic fundamentalists to counter Soviet Union in 1980s Afghanistan.

It behooves China to erect the statue of anti-Communist Nixon right next to die-hard Communist Mao in Beijing for speeding up China’s rise to super power status.

China, get your dirty hands and ass from Tibet, stop trying to bully other countries in Asia, and stop google reklam supporting non-democratic and repressive regimes like North Korea

This article is from an highly "anti-Chinese Communist" point of view. I am not saying the ideas here are incorrect, but this definitely does not represent the view of the Chinese majority.

As far as i know, the author's opinion in this article is not very popular among Chinese people, not even among critics of Chinese government. But the author says several times in the article that his view is "shared by all Chinese people". How could that be possible?

The author's intention and motivation are highly suspicious. I'm so disappointed at FP this time. FP should keep its tradition of offering more objective and intelligent perspectives on sensitive issues not subjective one as this one.
