The individual must not be allowed to be overly free, but the country must be entirely free. When the country can exercise freedom, China will have become a mighty and prosperous nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When the nation can act freely, then China may be called strong. To make the nation free, we must each sacrifice his freedom.
Free nations of the world cannot allow Taiwan, a beacon of democracy, to be subdued by an authoritarian China.
If we expose the Chinese to our freedoms, it may create a greater hunger for democracy, reform and liberties in China.
China has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me.
For many centuries Chinese society has been free of class distinctions such as are found even in advanced democracies.
The early idealists and companies and governments have all assumed that the Internet will bring freedom. Yet China proves that this is not the case.
I believe I and all the Chinese people have such a conviction that China will make continuous progress and the people's wishes for and needs for democracy and freedom are irresistible.
Democracy in China is like Viagra; no such thing as free elections.
If China stood on an equal basis with other nations, she could compete freely with them in the economic field and be able to hold her own without failure. But as soon as foreign nations use political power as a shield for their economic designs, then China is at a loss how to resist or to compete successfully with them.
Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.
