It's always the rich and there's plenty to waste, yet still China has a lot of people living in very spare, poor conditions.

A nation that has no music and no fairytales is a tragedy.

Chinese government is very clearly losing power in every aspect, but trying to fix up all the problems or potential problems.

Historically, China is not a nation of sportsmen. We traditionally put more emphasis on being close to nature than pushing endlessly to excel. A philosophy that values tranquil contemplation of the landscape cannot easily be adapted to the Olympic slogan of 'higher, stronger, faster.'

Everyone of us is a potential convict.

I think I'm just a traveler. When you walk across a river and there's no bridge, you build one. I'm used to having to deal with Chinese Communist ideology - it's not really an ideology, but a method of control. But China's problems are not just China's problems - they're human problems. Humanity has always worked better when you see it as one.

If civil society has nobody who protects the law, then what kind of society is that?
