[edit] Quotations
- 你如果希望了解你的祖国，你已经走上了犯罪的道路。
- "Once you begin to wish to understand your motherland, you have already became a criminal."[citation needed]
- "Today, the West feels very shy about human rights and the political situation. They’re in need of money. But every penny they borrowed or made from China has really come as a result of how this nation sacrificed everybody’s rights. With globalization and the Internet, we all know it. Don’t pretend you don’t know it. The Western politicians—shame on them if they say they’re not responsible for this. It’s getting worse, and it will keep getting worse.”
- interview in Newsweek, 21 November 2011
- 我说实话，我是确实不喜欢中国！在北京能说出这个话的，也就是我，我确实是不喜欢中国。因为这个中国，没有任何能让我喜欢的地方。尽管我想努力，但办不到。这并不是说因此我就要去选择外国，我没有这种愿望。
- "To tell the truth, I truly do not like China! In Beijing, no one else but me can make such a statement, I definitely do not like China. Because this China lacks anything I could like. Even though I try, I just can't. This is not to say that I would want to go to another country, I don't have such a desire."
