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

I grew up in a desert, which has no kind of imagination.

These are nonviolent people who have lost their freedom simply because they expressed their ideas….In truth, they are heroes of our time.

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.

I think U.S. and China is a big opportunity, to be seen as partner or some kind of strategic partner maybe. But those kind of powers have a way of getting too big, then we'll have competition. And who is going to win the competition if U.S. cannot hold a strong ideology? And even the U.S. would've lost the ground to win.

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.

Dictatorship is a story about death of others who turn out to be you coincidently.
