The Internet changes the structure of society all the time — this massiveness made of individuals.

I don't think China has professional museums - not in the past, present, or near future.

Because Chinese art is booming, it legitimizes this profession.

The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.

At the moment about 350,000 students return to China from abroad each year - 350,000 young and educated people. I know about them because they know me and often ask me in the street if they can take a selfie with me. These folks are creative and ironic, and the government can ultimately not control what is going on in their heads.

To express yourself needs a reason, but expressing yourself is the reason.

We should use this public sphere and redefine - beyond China's borders - what a government is allowed to do, where its powers end and where the realm of a citizen's privacy begins.
