  • ***** Protect american jobs *****

  • He's really one tough guy. He never abandoned his ideals. From creating a labor union, now he hosts a radio program. He is one man who wants to be heard.

  • Social Justice and Harmony in China

    Professor of Oxymoronic bullshit.

  • i freaking love this guy!!! no university edu? he sounds better than most college profs and eng isn't even his first language!!!!

    Han Dongfang!!!!! YEA BABY!!!!

  • I've seen it on smuggled (supposedly) tapes aired on the news some years back.

    Could have been staged, but I doubt it.

  • Is this even on any headline news anywhere?

  • I don't agree with the oversea's democracy movement for china as it stands now but I think Han's ideas transcends poltics to a basic need for worker's rights and safety in China now. I hope he has a continuing influence on the developement of China's working conditions

  • He has one funky haircut lol:) as long as he got hair like that there is hope of freedom:)

  • Thank you so much for posting this, Han Dongfang is a true hero! How great to hear him speak here in the US.

    He has never given up the dream for freedom in China. Yes a true Hero.
