Writer, TV commentator, political gadfly and independent Legislator Li Ao (ÊùéÊïñ) claimed yesterday that today’s China is in its halcyon days that have not been seen since the Han (206 BC-AD 220) and Tang dynasties (AD 618-907).
Li, in his second speech in China to Tsinghua University faculty and students, lauded the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) several times, saying that while China was bullied by Western powers in its modern history, “no-one dares to bully China any more” and “only one party could have achieved that, which is the CCP.”
He also claimed that after the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) fled to Taiwan after being defeated by the CCP in 1949, it took “all the money” to Taiwan and left 3 million “bad elements” behind.
