I’ve got a good friend here in Thailand, whom I met when I moved to China in 2011. He was actually my immediate boss, but over the years, he and I have become very close friends. He lived and worked in China, as a dean and teacher, for almost 20 years. But he finally left last year, as, over time, under Xi Jinping, the increasingly burdensome constraints, regulations, laws, and outright stupidity of the communist government became simply intolerable to him, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. The Communist Python squeezed him till he had nothing left to give. So, he left.

He taught for a year in Cambodia, but now, he has been offered another position in China. He is trying to go back, mainly because he has a Chinese wife who wants to return. But the Chinese government is making it as difficult as they possibly can for him to get a visa. Not necessarily because they don’t want him to return, but because they simply do not care about him or their own people. My friend is an excellent teacher who could do a lot of good for his Chinese students. He could help China. But instead of wanting him there, instead of smoothing the road for his return, instead of helping him, they are putting every roadblock they can, every hindrance possible, in his path.

Why? Because the Chinese government... doesn’t ...care. They have totalitarian power, thus no reason to. That is what a godless, totalitarian Leftist system produces. Complete selfishness and utter disinterest, even for those they should be most concerned about. They care only about totalitarian power.

The students in China are great. China’s Confucian tradition of family values........
