I left Beijing after two days of constructive and frank conversations with Chinese officials, discussions with members of the U.S. business community in China, and engagement with the Chinese people.
Where we were born is a coincidence, while our allegiance is our choice. The underlining assumption that since one was born in China his or her allegiance must be to China is insulting.

What’s my allegiance? I recently was asked: I speak out so much about ccp China. How would I define my allegiance as an Chinese? The question reverberates in my mind. My answer: I don’t have allegiance to China. I feel it in my bone that I’m a Shanghainese and I’m a Hong Konger. I’m born in Shanghai. It’s such an unique city: the first international city of China, before CCP. Same with Hong Kong. Since 1949, HK is the true inheritor of Shanghai spirit - THE most international city of China. CCP has been working hard to destroy the essence of Shanghai and Hong Kong. To me, China is a fuzzy concept so contaminated by Ccp that I have no feeling for it https://t.co/OJGU0DtMGk
