“Western countries are asking the Chinese government to fulfill its promises to improve the human rights situation, but if there’s no voice from inside the country, then the government will say, ‘It’s only a request from abroad; the domestic population doesn’t demand it,’” he told me.
I find it hard to understand the situation within China. This book suggest that people who are dissidents can continue to live and work in China and even to publish outside of China but not within China. This seems to be a very confusing way of life and hard to understand how it can be manageable. I follow the experiences of the Uyghers in western China who seem to experience severe discrimination. Reading this book benefits me by giving even different points of view from people within China.
