The Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world.

I'm very curious to witness the historic transformation of Chinese women.

I think because of their terrible past, particularly this century, the Chinese have come to accept cruelty more than many other people, which is something I feel very unhappy about.

What has marked Chinese society is its level of cruelty, not just revolutions and wars. We ought to reject it totally, otherwise in another upheaval there will be further cruelty.

Clearly, the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.

If the communist party is controlling China, they represent China.

In 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized 120 saints of China, 87 of whom were ethnically Chinese. My home church was incredibly excited because this was the first time the Roman Catholic Church acknowledged Chinese citizens in this way.

Putting our ecosystem in great peril is certainly not a part of Chinese culture that I know.

A lot of Chinese don't understand why people in the West are critical of China.
