        Love that quote. Very pertinent to the battles we face today against a greedy, self interested, crony-capitalist establishment.

        My argument is against today's crony capitalism. I believe in the free market. Not today's socialism for the rich.

        This is really sad, other dissidents, lawyers, bloggers are still detained as well. China is a great country but ruled by a mafia called CCP

        @KwokMiles will be maybe able to influence the CCP's national congress, if not, a revolution can save China, or it'll end like North Korea.
