@betalover1 You're conflating race and culture, like a proper ignorant racist bigot. Race is a material intrinsic, and it is completely incidental to culture. If a French family adopts an Indonesian newborn that child will grow up in and part of French culture. Culture is an intangible extrinsic, it is simply a shared collection of beliefs, experiences, norms, etc. The relationship between race and culture is incidental, NOT causal.

@beancube2008 Their socialism hates cloth used for bed sheets?

Didn't he have a Tibetan girlfriend?

Did they get married?

One fewer Tibetan woman to give birth to pure Tibetans, I fear. One fewer Han (I suppose) to father pure Hans.

Did they eventually commit cultural genocides?

Isn't cultural genocide a great thrilling experience? Ask Obama senior and Obama's mom.

I found 魏京生 is not as bright as those liberals from HK described. Corruptions in China are not as stereo type as western media propagated. Communist all recognized over centralized actually blocking the party to build many under developed places in China; however, potential power struggle like former Soviet Union hinders their scope and intellectual resource. Their socialism hates Linen and Stalin. Materialistic is a cover up, they crave for wisdom/intellectual and hate Jewish profiteers.

This dubbing is very disturbing. (two voices at the same time.) But the interview is so interesting! I hope someone will take the trouble to put subtitles on it!
