Chinese Sociologist’s Viral Article: Children of Communist Elite ‘Love America
Not to mention many of them were taught spy craft from childhood, who wouldn’t love that? Wealthy families, so they don’t need money, go thr greatest country in the world as a rich spy, hobnobbing with wealthy tech people, stealing their secrets, yep they’re living the highlife! But they don’t want to brutalized under the regime in their own country. Sounds like how Bolshevism started take over Russia, oligarchs get wealthy beyond compare, and let the peasant get a few rubles to live monthly
Zheng Yefu, the pen name of a retired sociologist and former professor at Peking University, wrote an article about the children of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) elite choosing to live overseas that has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media.
Zheng’s article essentially argues that the children of China’s rich and privileged political elite are embarrassingly unwilling to live under the rule of their authoritarian parents. Even more embarrassing is that most of them seem to prefer life in the United States.
A longtime gadfly of the CCP, Zheng is one of the few prominent scholars who can get away with seriously criticizing the regime. His previous broadsides include advising the CCP to take lessons in good governance from Taiwan, hectoring top Chinese leaders to disclose all of their assets to prove they are not corrupt, and musing that the Chinese people would benefit greatly if the CCP agreed to “peacefully fade from history.”
Zheng’s latest bombshell predicts that the CCP might end up fading away because the next generation of Chinese leaders are heading West as fast as they can pack their bags.
“They don’t love the power, they love America,” Zheng said of the children of top CCP leaders. This an especially shameful observation at a time when the CCP strives to portray the U.S. as a “rogue” and “barbaric” nation hell-bent on starting a new Cold War because its leaders are jealous of China’s success and want to unfairly punish it by banning high-quality Chinese imports, including the odd high-quality coronavirus.
Zheng argued that China’s leaders are hypocritical for using brute force to “maintain stability” and “safeguard the country created by the great Communist Party” when their offspring do not want to live in the worker’s paradise. He noted the younger generation of Chinese elites have more access to information from the outside world than the average citizen, and more freedom to travel there, so they are more keenly aware of how the CCP uses unsavory authoritarian techniques to maintain its power.
Voice of America News (VOA) quoted readers of Zheng’s work and said young Chinese elites are prudently choosing to live abroad because they do not want to be socially or physically destroyed when their families lose one of China’s constant political battles.
“For the second or third generation reds, if you lose in the power struggle, you are going to lose everything. Compare that to your opportunity to live a peaceful life in a free and democratic environment. So for some, they choose to stay away from the mess,” explained human rights activist Hu Jia.
