China has no desire to replace Western imperialism in Asia with an Oriental imperialism or isolationism of its own or anyone else.

Seventy years after China emerged from the Second World War, the greatest threat facing the nation's leadership is not imperialism but skepticism.

I always start from the stand that it is imperialism that needs us, not we who need the imperialists.

When the nation can act freely, then China may be called strong. To make the nation free, we must each sacrifice his freedom.

China's many nationalities need only to be transformed into the Chinese nation and to make it a highly civilized nation; then the nationalization process will be completed.

Empires will come and go. The Soviet Union collapses; China can become a superpower, but 'Blue Peter' stays the same.

If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.

China has to go along with world trends. That's democracy, liberty, individual freedom. China sooner or later has to go that way. It cannot go backward.
