Remembering Fang Lizhi: 'hero of the people,' hated by China's regime

Professor Fang Lizhi, the Chinese astrophysicist whom many regarded as
“China’s Sakharov,” died suddenly at his home in Arizona last week.

For this great Chinese patriot to die in the American desert 22 years
after he was forced into exile symbolizes the harsh truth about the
ruling Communist regime which Mr. Fang often warned the world about.

For those of us whose memories have not been erased by the censorship
of getting rich gloriously, Fang was a hero. In the years and months
leading up to the Tiananmen demonstrations in 1989, he dared to tell
the historical facts – about Mao, the Party, the Great Leap Forward,
and the Cultural Revolution – to a new generation.

Washington Post
April 12, 2012


After the high drama of a 400-mile dash to freedom across northern
China, Chen Guangcheng, a blind legal activist now reportedly under
the protection of U.S. diplomats in Beijing, confronts more mundane
challenges: filling in forms, listening to warnings about potential
peril ahead, and waiting while U.S. and Chinese officials haggle over
his fate.

That, at least, is what happened back in the summer of 1989 when Fang
Lizhi, a dissident Chinese astrophysicist, entered the U.S. mission in
Beijing a day after the June 4 Tiananmen Square massacre and asked
diplomats there for protection.

The diplomats “were mildly discouraging but didn’t rule out helping,”
recalled Perry Link, a Princeton University China scholar who
accompanied Fang. They explained that Fang would need to get to
American soil before he could request political asylum.

To get the ball rolling, Fang filled in a visa application, the first
step in what he hoped would be a swift journey to safety. It was more
than a year before he got to the United States, ostensibly for medical
treatment.

Worried that taking refuge with American diplomats would allow China’s
Communist Party to portray the Tiananmen protest as a U.S.-­
orchestrated conspiracy, Fang decided after his first meeting at the
embassy that he didn’t want U.S. help after all. He left the embassy
with his wife, Li Shuxian, to spend the night at a nearby Beijing
hotel in the room of an absent Washington Post journalist.

“We didn’t turn him away. We just talked him into giving things some
more thought,” said a U.S. diplomat who was involved in the
discussions.

They told Fang, for example, about the case of Hungary’s Cardinal
Jozsef Mindszenty, an outspoken foe of communism who spent almost 15
years stuck in the U.S. Embassy in Budapest after Soviet troops
crushed the 1956 Hungarian uprising.

“When somebody comes to ask for asylum, you have to make sure they
have really thought through what they are undertaking,” said the
former diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “You run
through a checklist of things to discourage them.”

Fang later returned to the embassy in the middle of the night after
U.S. diplomats sent word that President George H.W. Bush had
personally approved giving him, his wife and son, Fang De, sanctuary.

Fang, with his wife, then spent nearly 13 months holed up in a
windowless room that had previously served as an embassy clinic while
senior U.S. officials and others, including former secretary of state
Henry Kis­singer, trooped to Beijing to beg Chinese leaders to let the
dissident leave China unmolested. The son, fed up with being confined
to the embassy, left after just a few days and returned to his
university studies without trouble.

The presence of Fang and his wife was cloaked in such deep secrecy
that “only about six people in the embassy” knew of their whereabouts,
James R. Lilley, the ambassador at the time, recalled in his memoir,
“China Hands: Nine Decades of Adventure, Espionage, and Diplomacy in
Asia.” Lilley’s wife found out when she stumbled on a high wall of
books shielding Fang’s sleeping quarters.

A contentious figure

Deng Xiaoping, who blamed Fang for seven weeks of tumultuous student-
led protests at Tiananmen, demanded that the scientist write a
confession before he leave China. Lilley, meanwhile, became a “pariah
for shielding Fang Lizhi,” the ambassador wrote in his book. The whole
episode, noted Lilley, badly “complicated” relations already battered
by the military assault on Tiananmen.

Getting Chinese leaders to agree to let Fang go took so long that the
scientist managed to complete a scientific paper on “the periodicity
of redshift distribution.” He used an aged Apple computer provided by
the embassy and listed the U.S. Beijing mission as his “temporary
mailing address” when he submitted the article to the Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory for publication.

Fang continued his scientific work after he left China, ending his
career as a professor of physics at the University of Arizona. He died
this month at his home in Tucson. He was 76.

Chen, the blind legal activist, is a far less contentious figure than
Fang, against whom Deng, China’s paramount leader until his death in
1997, bore a deep personal animus. China’s quarrel with Chen, by
contrast, involves mostly low-ranking officials in Shandong province.

Fang, denounced as a “black hand” behind the Tiananmen protests and
pilloried as a dangerous criminal by party-­controlled media, faced a
formal Chinese arrest warrant. Chen has been technically free — though
closely monitored — since his release from prison in 2010. This, said
John Kamm, a longtime campaigner on behalf of Chinese political
prisoners, “means there should be no legal impediment for him to leave
the country.”

Nonetheless, any U.S. role in protecting Chen will likely set up an
acrimonious and possibly long tug of war between Washington and
Beijing. A foreign dissident seeking refuge, added the former U.S.
diplomat who was involved in Fang’s case, is “something enormously
unwelcome. It creates huge problems politically and, also,
logistically.”

The ‘real McCoy’

China Aid, a Christian group based in Texas that helped facilitate
Chen’s escape from de facto house arrest in Shandong, said in a
statement issued early Saturday that Chen “is under U.S. protection
and high level talks are currently underway between U.S. and Chinese
officials regarding Chen’s status.”

Bob Fu, the group’s president, described it as “a pivotal moment for
U.S. human rights diplomacy” and urged that Chen be “handled like
Professor Fang Lizhi” and not like Wang Lijun, a former Chongqing
police chief who fled to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu in early
February, triggering a political earthquake whose aftershocks are
still shaking the party.

Wang spent 30 hours in the consulate and, when he left after failing
to secure an offer of protection, was quickly hustled to Beijing by
state-security officials. He has not been seen or heard from since.
His former boss, Bo Xilai, has since been purged in China’s biggest
political crisis since Tiananmen.

Chen, the blind lawyer, is the “real McCoy,” said Princeton’s Link,
and “is a completely different case” from the former police chief, who
presided over a brutal crackdown on alleged gangsters, trampled due
process and deployed torture to force people to confess.

“The U.S. was right not to get involved with Wang Lijun,” Link said.
If Washington rebuffs Chen, however, “I’ll be the first to write an op-
ed article denouncing the decision.”

Fang Lizhi, Chinese Physicist and Seminal Dissident, Dies at 76
By MICHAEL WINES


BEIJING — Fang Lizhi, whose advocacy of economic and democratic
freedoms shaped China’s brief era of student dissent that ended with
the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and his exile, died on Friday in
Tucson, Ariz., his son, Fang Ke, said Saturday.


Mr. Fang was 76. The cause of death was not known, his son said in a
telephone interview.

A brilliant scientist — and in his early years a loyal member of the
Communist Party — Mr. Fang had become China’s best-known dissident by
the 1980s, his views shaped by persecution in China and exposure to
Western political concepts abroad.

In early 1989, he published an open letter to China’s paramount
leader, Deng Xiaoping, calling for the release of political prisoners.
The letter helped galvanize a pro-democracy student movement that
spring, peaking on June 4, when Chinese troops killed hundreds of
student protesters among the masses occupying Tiananmen Square.

Fearing arrest, Mr. Fang sought refuge with his family at the United
States Embassy in Beijing. President George Bush’s decision to grant
him protection there provoked a yearlong diplomatic standoff with the
Chinese that ended, after secret negotiations, with a decision by
Chinese leaders in June 1990 to allow the family to leave China,
ostensibly for medical treatment.

Mr. Fang later became a professor of physics at the University of
Arizona in Tucson, where he taught and continued to speak out on human
rights until his death.

Word of his death initially spread on Twitter, where veterans of the
1989 democracy movement mourned his passing and proposed a rights
award in his honor.

“No words can express my grief,” wrote Wang Dan, who was imprisoned
for four years for his leadership role in the Tiananmen protests.
“Fang Lizhi has inspired the ’89 generation and has awakened the
people’s yearning for human rights and democracy.”

Mr. Fang’s willingness to test the boundaries of his eventual academic
discipline, the physics of the universe, seemed foreshadowed even at
an early age by his penchant for questioning authority.

Born in 1936 to a Hangzhou postal clerk and his wife, Mr. Fang entered
the prestigious Beijing University as a youth and excelled in physics.
According to a 1988 article in The Atlantic Monthly, he quickly
flouted official norms, taking over a founding meeting of the
university’s Communist Youth League and urging students to think
independently instead of accepting party dogma on proper academic
behavior.

He joined China’s Institute of Modern Physics after graduating in
1956, only to be expelled from the Communist Party a year later during
Mao Zedong’s Anti-Rightist Campaign, a movement against intellectuals
and others who were seen to have strayed from Communist principles.
His offense was writing an essay criticizing political interference in
scientific research.

Mr. Fang was considered too valuable to allow party censure to affect
his work, and he continued to rise in academia. But when the Cultural
Revolution began in 1966, he was again persecuted, first imprisoned
and then sent to rural Anhui Province to work with peasants. He
carried with him but one book, on astrophysics, and his repeated
readings of it led him to change his research focus from fundamental
physics to cosmology.

Still an outcast, he continued to flout convention. In 1972, Mr. Fang
and colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China in
Anhui province published a paper titled “A Solution of the
Cosmological Equations in Scalar-Tensor Theory, with Mass and
Blackbody Radiation.”

“This innocuous-sounding article met with a furious response from
leading theoretical circles of the party,” The China Quarterly
recounted in a 1990 article. “Fang et al. had broken a longstanding
taboo by introducing the Big Bang theory to the Chinese physics world.
Insofar as the Big Bang contradicted Engels’s declaration that the
universe must be infinite in space and time, Fang’s paper was
tantamount to heresy.”

Like most of the persecuted, Mr. Fang was rehabilitated after Mao’s
death in 1976, and in Deng’s more open China he traveled to
conferences abroad, earning a worldwide scientific reputation. But his
exposure to foreign political concepts sharpened his doubts about the
Communist system, and he began to write and lecture on its
shortcomings.

During a brief flowering of political openness, he gained a large
following in China and abroad for his outspoken criticism of the
Communist system. But in January 1987, after he helped organize pro-
reform student demonstrations in cities across China, he was again
expelled from the party and stripped of his job as vice president of
the University of Science and Technology of China.

Anger over the demonstrations among Communist Politburo members forced
the resignation days later of Hu Yaobang, the reform-minded party
general secretary, who had presided over the period of openness. Mr.
Hu’s death in April 1989 set off the final round of student protests
that ended with the occupation of Tiananmen Square and the subsequent
assault on the demonstrators.

Freedom did not change Mr. Fang’s disregard for authority. Not long
after leaving the American Embassy for the West, he angered his host,
James Lilley, the American ambassador to China, by publicly accusing
the United States of holding China to a lower human rights standard
than it applied to the Soviet Union and its treatment of dissidents.
The charge prompted a brisk response from President Bush, who said Mr.
Fang’s views were mistaken and outdated.

But Mr. Fang consistently reserved his sharpest criticism for his
homeland.

“Human rights are fundamental privileges that people have from birth,
such as the right to think and be educated, the right to marry, and so
on. But we Chinese consider those rights dangerous,” he said 26 years
ago in a speech to students at Tongji University in Shanghai.

“If we are the democratic country we say we are, these rights should
be stronger here than elsewhere. But at present they are nothing more
than an abstract idea.”

Fang Lizhi

Fang Lizhi, (born February 12, 1936, Beijing, China—died April 6,
2012, Tucson, Arizona, U.S.), Chinese astrophysicist and dissident who
was held by the Chinese leadership to be partially responsible for the
1989 student rebellion in Tiananmen Square.

Fang attended Peking University in Beijing (1952–56) and won a
position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Modern
Physics. In 1957 he was publicly rebuked and expelled from the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) for a paper he wrote decrying the Marxist
position on physics and calling for a reform of the educational
system. He helped to establish a physics department at the University
of Science and Technology of China (known as Keda) in Beijing, and he
continued his research on solid-state and laser physics while teaching
electromagnetics and quantum mechanics. In 1966, at the start of the
Cultural Revolution, he was confined for a year and then sent to a
communal farm to be “reeducated.” During this period he was isolated
from the scientific community, and he redirected his field of study to
cosmology. Released in 1969 to teach, Fang was forced to publish his
work under a pseudonym.

At the start of the post-Mao era in the mid-1970s, Fang’s party
membership was restored, and he was allowed to attend conferences
outside China for the first time. He contributed research on a number
of subjects in astrophysics and won much acclaim for his work. In 1984
Fang was appointed a vice president of Keda, which had been moved to
Hefei, capital city of Anhui province, in the early 1970s. He began to
work on restructuring the university and reforming educational policy.
His outspoken criticisms were somewhat encouraged until students began
to participate in demonstrations; Fang was one of those held
responsible and was transferred to the Beijing Astronomical
Observatory. He was once more expelled from the CCP early in 1987.
When in April 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square received
international attention, Fang again was held responsible, and he took
refuge in the U.S. embassy after government troops crushed the
protests in early June. He and his wife remained at the embassy until
June 1990, when they were allowed to leave the country.

Fang subsequently conducted research at universities in Great Britain
and the United States. His last posting before his death was in the
physics department at the University of Arizona, Tucson. A collection
of his writings and speeches, Bringing Down the Great Wall: Writings
on Science, Culture, and Democracy in China, was published in 1991.

He was no hero to China or to the Chinese people. He died a broken
man, alone.

University of Arizona, my old stumping ground. He taught Advanced
Chinese classes. Must be a very lonely class.

Yes, Arizona, a place I called "home" for about 50 years. A place I
lived in for 12 years of my life. A place for 5 generations of my
family had lived.

Yes, it symbolized the harsh reality of America's foolishness of
stirring-up revolt, turmoil, and regime change for countries which
America doesn't like, does not want any country to challenge America's
supremacy in the world stage. It symbolized the harsh reality of
being America's stooge/puppet.

A hero to a few, a traitor to all of his countrymen. Even his wife
left him to return to China.

And where did he end up? Where are all those "he dared to tell"?
Did any of those people he told believe him? He died alone in Tucson,
but the rest of his countrymen are happily living their lives in
China. The desirable ones who had made their marks in life returned
to China to live. The undesirable ones are living life outside
looking in, kept knocking on doors trying to get back in.

You grossly misrepresent what Fang's life was like after he left
China.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fang_Lizhi

After some time at Cambridge University and Princeton, Fang later
moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he worked as Professor of Physics at
the University of Arizona. In campus speeches Fang spoke on topics
such as human rights and democracy as matters of social
responsibility. He also served as a board member and co-chair of Human
Rights in China.[24]

Fang continued to do research in astrophysics and cosmology. He
published research papers even during his stay in the US Embassy in
Beijing. His later research includes the study of non-Gaussianity in
the cosmic microwave background anisotropy, Lyman alpha forest,
application of wavelet in cosmology, turbulence in intergalactic
medium, and the 21cm radiation during the Reionization. He continued
to train students and younger scientists who visited him from China
and was very active in research to the end of his life, publishing
multiple research papers each year.

Do you have any idea how poorly Fang was treated by the Chinese
government?

He had more balls than you could ever dream of.

I don't think so. He and his wife endured 11 years living inside the
U.S. embassy in Beijing. Soon after they left China, his wife
returned to China on her own. His wife was living in China when he
died.
Do you know how poorly the Native American Indians were treated by the
American government?

Do you know how poorly the Japanese Americans were treated by the
American government after Pearl Harbor?

Do you know how poorly the Black Americans were treated by the
American government for hundreds of years?

And finally, Do you know how poorly the Chinese Americans were treated
by the American government up to the early 1970s?

I know. I lived through it.

Well, he threw them away. At the end he had none.

(1) He and his wife spent 1 year, not 11, in the US embassy.

(2) Reports of his death mention that his wife Li Shuxian was by his
side.

I'm starting to think you are a senile old fool.

And how exactly does this connect with how badly the Chinese
government treated Fang? (Hint: not at all.)

So you admit that you have no idea whether his countrymen consider him
a traitor? Try looking online for what Chinese said about him when he
died. Shortly after he died, the Chinese government started censoring
dicussion of him on the internet.

Why? He was a respected physics professor living happily with his wife
in Arizona.

Oh!!! yeah!!! You only want to highlight Chinese "poor treatment of
one individual" but ignore America's poor treatments of the masses. I
see your point.

He was a forgotten man already, bmoore.

People are still talking about how Hitler died.

UA Statement Regarding the Death of Fang Lizhi
By Johnny Cruz

The passing of Fang Lizhi is a profound loss for the University of
Arizona community. Fang Lizhi was a man of extraordinary courage and
conviction, and a scholar of the highest caliber. We are thankful that
he elected to join our faculty two decades ago, and his contributions
will be remembered for decades to come.

*****************

Fang Lizhi, a major voice for human rights and democracy and a
pioneering scientist in his native China, continued to advance the
field of astrophysics at the UA for more than 20 years before he died
last week.

Astrophysicist Fang Lizhi Spent Two Decades at UA
By Daniel Stolte

Human rights activist Fang Lizhi, who died last week at age 76, had
been a professor in the University of Arizona department of physics
and an adjunct professor with the UA's Steward Observatory for more
than 20 years, where he made highly regarded contributions to
astrophysics.

Fang was world renowned for his outspoken and active role in promoting
human rights in his native China.

Considered an "undesirable element" by the Chinese government, Fang
was dismissed from the Chinese nuclear program and reassigned in 1958
to the University of Science and Technology of China, or USTC, which
is regarded as China's equivalent of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.

During the Cultural Revolution, he was sent to hard labor in the
country. In 1978, upon returning to USTC, Fang became full professor
and in 1984, vice president. His books on physics and cosmology and
his articles and books on openness and democracy were widely admired.

Owing to his outspoken encouragement and support of the 1986 student
movement demanding a more democratic government, he again was
dismissed and sent to the Beijing Astronomical Observatory, where he
led a theoretical astrophysics group in 1987. Fang remained an
outspoken advocate of democratic reforms.

In the wake of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, the Chinese
government accused him and his wife as the leaders of the movement and
issued a warrant for their arrest. Fang and his wife sought refuge at
the U.S. embassy in Beijing, where they remained for 13 months, until
the Chinese authorities finally allowed them to leave the country.

During his confinement, Fang continued his scientific research,
submitting three papers for publication in international journals.

Less known to the public are Fang's professional contributions to
research and teaching. He was one of the founders of modern
astrophysics and cosmology in China. While mainly a theoretical
physicist, Fang had been instrumental in helping the Chinese
astronomical community develop observational astronomy, even after
moving to the U.S.

He was one of the main collaborators on the successful Beijing-Arizona-
Taipei-Connecticut survey project, one of the longest-running and most
influential optical observational astronomical projects using a
Chinese-based facility, said Xiaohui Fan, a UA professor of astronomy
who collaborated with Fang.

"He was an inspiration for so many people in so many ways," Fan said,
adding that in the late 1990s, Fang and his collaborators published a
series of papers using clusters of galaxies, the most massive objects
in the universe, as tools to study the fate and evolution of the
universe, and to measure parameters such as the mass density of the
universe.

In recent years, Fang also moved into the newly developed field of
cosmic reionization, studies of the epoch of the universe when the
very first generation of stars and galaxies formed.

"He and his students were developing new models and new predictions to
the direct observations of cosmic reionization," Fan said. "In that
sense, he was active to the very frontier of astrophysics and
cosmology until the very last day."

"Professor Fang had been my dear and valuable mentor," said Zheng Cai,
one of Fang's graduate students in the UA's physics department. "Since
I first came to the UA, he gave me a lot of valuable suggestions on
life as well as on academic study. His passing away is tragic, and I'm
having a terribly hard time accepting it, but I believe professor Fang
rests peacefully among the brightest stars in the universe."

Fang's exile began in 1990, first as a guest professor of the Royal
Society at Cambridge, and the following year as Director's Visitor at
Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. In 1992, Fang joined the UA
as professor of physics. While in exile, he raised a generation of
leaders of astrophysics in China through training of postdocs and
graduate students.

During his tenure at the UA, Fang continued to do highly visible
research on cosmology and published widely with his students and other
colleagues, including in 2011, when he was unwell and in and out of
the hospital on several occasions.

In 2010, he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in
recognition of his scientific contributions as well as protecting the
freedom of scientists around the world. He led cooperative projects on
astrophysics with colleagues in China with his name usually redacted.

Being on the forefront of nuclear physics, laser physics, theoretical
astrophysics and cosmology, Fang cared deeply about making scientific
knowledge accessible not only to the academic community but society at
large. He published more than 340 research papers and numerous popular
articles and books, including a broadly read Chinese book on
cosmology.

He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Science before being forced
into exile. He was a fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and a Founding Fellow of the Arizona Arts,
Sciences and Technology Academy.

Among his awards are the Chinese National Award of Science and
Technology in 1978, the First Award of the Gravity Research Foundation
(1985), the 1989 Human Rights Award named for Robert F Kennedy, the
1991 Freedom Award of the International Rescue Committee and the 1996
Nicholson Medal of the American Physical Society.

In addition to numerous invited talks, Fang served on many scientific
committees, including the council of the International Center for
Theoretical Physics at Trieste, Chair of Commission C19 of the
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, and chair of the
steering committee of the International Center for Relativistic
Astrophysics Network.

Fang has been a leader in many human rights groups, including the
International League for Human Rights, Committee of Concerned
Scientists, and chair of the APS Committee on International Freedom of
Scientists.

Most recently, in spite of his illness, Fang was among the
international organizers of the upcoming Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann
Meeting on Recent Developments in Theoretical and Experimental General
Relativity, Astrophysics and Relativistic Field Theories.
"Professor Fang was one of our most dedicated teachers," said Sumit
Mazumdar, head of the UA's department of physics. "On the occasions
that I visited him in the hospital, he was most concerned about his
course, his students, and whether I was able to find a substitute
teacher for his course. His courage came with a great deal of
compassion, and we in the physics department will remember him for
that as well as for his scholarship."

"Professor Fang was a wonderful person and an astrophysicist with
international recognition," said David Arnett, a Regents' Professor at
the UA's Steward Observatory. "Few of us can lay claim to as much as
he can. He will be missed."

A memorial service for department and family members will be held on
April 14. A larger memorial service for the greater community is
planned for May. For information, please contact the UA physics
department at 520-621-6820.

Wrong on all counts, Mr. Mar.

http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/apr/13/on-fang-lizhi/

"Fang Lizhi, a distinguished professor of astrophysics, luminary in
the struggle for human rights in contemporary China, and frequent
contributor to The New York Review, died suddenly on the morning of
April 6. At age seventy-six he had not yet retired, and was preparing
to leave home to teach a class when he commented to his wife that he
did not feel quite right. She urged him to stay home and he agreed,
saying he would call his department secretary to explain. A few
minutes later he had died in his chair at his home office."

All evidence points to the fact that he was very respected by many
Chinese but hated by the government.

http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/apr/13/on-fang-lizhi/

Of the many comments from Fang’s Chinese admirers that I have heard in
the days since his passing, here are three of my favorites:

Some call him China’s Sakharov, and that’s fine. But to me, Fang and
the Communist Party are more like Galileo and the Roman church. An
astrophysicist against powerful and arbitrary authority; the authority
persecutes the physicist, but the physicist gets the truth right.

In the 1980s the words “human rights” could hardly be uttered in
China. Today they can, and the term weiquan (“support rights”) is
everywhere. No one person made this change. But no one person had more
to do with it than Fang Lizhi.

Fang shows us a better way to be Chinese in the modern world. To be
Chinese does not have to mean “supports Bashir al-Assad at the UN” or
“puts a Nobel Peace Prize winner in prison.” We can be better. Teacher
Fang is our example.

News of his passing spread quickly on the Chinese Internet. Students
whom he had taught in the 1980s and admirers of his eloquent
championing of human rights wrote their accolades. State Security
officials noticed, and within hours ordered Internet police to delete
all messages that mentioned the words “Fang Lizhi.” After that, tweets
about Fang on weibo (the Chinese version of Twitter) disappeared about
a minute after posting.

rst0/rst9's respect for the truth is tempered by his zeal to be the
cheerleader for the CCP dictatorship in Beijing.

Prof. Fang Li-Zhi continued to research and publish after he was
exiled by the CCP mandarins from PRC.

Of course. And he died with his wife by his side. Why does Mr. Mar say

That should make rst0/rst9 happy !! He doesn't want ordinary people
under CCP dictatorship in PRC to be able to express their views about
the hero of the people.

rst0/rst9 wants to silence Prof. Fang Li-Zhi's admireres on the
internet even as he continues to earn his pay of 50 cents per post
from the CCP regime in Beijing.

What is sauce for the goose is not necessarily sauce for the gander !!


rst0 has retired and continues to live with his gf in USA. He lives
off pensions from Lockheed and from US social security. But he has
chosen to to supplement his US pensions with an allowance of 50 cents/
post on the newsgroup from the CCP dictatorship in China.


But, of course, rst0 is well knows which side of the toast is
buttered. For all his rantings about "evil USA" and "virtuous CCP-
dictatorship in China", he has stayed put in USA. That's the reason
that he doesn't go back to the land of his heart and birth. He
continues to live in USA even as he insists, like a Quisling, on being
a running dog of CCP imperialism working 24/7 on the internet to earn
his bone of 50 cents/page from the CCP regime.


****************
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party

The 50 Cent Party are Internet commentators (网络评论员, 網絡評論員, wǎnglù
pínglùn yuán) hired by the government of the People's Republic of
China (both local and central) or the Communist Party to post comments
favorable towards party policies in an attempt to shape and sway
public opinion on various Internet message boards. The commentators
are said to be paid for every post that either steers a discussion
away from anti-party or sensitive content on domestic websites,
bulletin board systems, and chatrooms, or that advances the Communist
party line.
*************************


74-year old rst0 will do himself a big favor if he enrolls himself in
some adult education school. Otherwise patriotically challenged rst0
will continue to make a spectacle of himself by revealing his
appalling ignorance in everything from history to English. And if rstx
can't get himself to do that, he should stop bilking USA and go back
to where his heart really resides, namely, the village of his birth in
China under CCP-dictatorship. That would be the honest thing to do. Of
course, it is another matter that his gf will refuse to follow rst0 to
CCP-land where any deviation of his newsgroup posts from the official
CCP-line will right away lead him to re-education through labor ( 勞動教
養 ).


Chinese-Americans are by and large a patriotic lot. But there are a
few bad apples who go proactive with their bid to serve the colonial
agenda of CCP-dictatorship. These bad apples had often worked with
defense contractors like Lockheed, Boeing etc. but when opportunity
came they betrayed USA by selling company and US secrets to the CCP-
dictatorship. When caught with their pants down, these bad apples
inevitably landed in jail.


rst0, USA respects your freedom of speech. Unlike the CCP-dictatorship
in China, the US government is not going to monitor your posts on the
newsgroup and go after you for your rantings on the internet. You can
bark with impunity without any fear of reprisal by the US government.
But you will make a grave mistake if you ever try to bite the hand
that feeds you by selling Lockheed and US secrets to the CCP-
dictatorship. You will be eventually caught and spend the rest of your
golden years inside jail cells.


Try to be like the normal Chinese-Americans. Ambassador Gary Locke is
a good role model. He has won nothing but admiration from the
ordinary Chinese under CCP-dictatorship.He is far more respected by
the ordinary folks in China than the stinking fat cats in the party
politburo.


As a retired 74-year old, you have ample time in your hand. Your idle
brain has become the devil's workshop. You are 24/7 on the internet
pushing the evil agenda of the CCP-dictatorship in China. But if you
have any brain, you will bark but not bite to avoid ending up in jail
like a few Chinese Americans have for selling US to the CCP-
dictatorship in China for pecuniary gains.


China-born aerospace engineer Dogfang Greg Chung is the same age as 74-
year old rstx. rstx would be wise to steer himself away from the path
of treason that has earned the 74-year old Dongfan Gref Chung a 15
year prison sentence. Here's Dogfang Greg Chung's shameful story:

Chinese-born engineer gets 15 years in spying for China
Dongfan 'Greg' Chung, who worked with Boeing and Rockwell
International, was accused of providing information on the space
shuttle and Delta IV rocket.
By Patrick J. McDonnell


A Chinese-born aerospace engineer who had access to sensitive material
while working with a pair of major defense contractors in Southern
California was sentenced Monday to more than 15 years in prison for
acquiring secret space shuttle data and other information for China.


U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney in Santa Ana imposed a 188-month
prison term on Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 73, a naturalized U.S. citizen
who lives in Orange.


Carney declared that he could not "put a price tag" on national
security and sought to send a signal to China to "stop sending your
spies here," according to the U.S. attorney's office.


Chung, who worked at Boeing's Huntington Beach plant, denied being a
spy and said he was gathering documents for a book, not for espionage.
His attorneys argued that much of the material was already available
on the public record.


At his sentencing, Chung professed his love for the United States,
even as prosecutors depicted him as a spy who would compromise U.S.
national security.


"Giving China advanced rocket technology is not in the United States'
national interest," said Assistant U.S. Atty. Greg Staples. "There is
a voracious appetite for U.S. technology in China."


Whether loyalty to his homeland or financial gain was Chung's motive
remained unclear. The case is one of a number of prosecutions that
have shed light on alleged Chinese efforts to gain access to U.S.
technology and research through espionage.


Chung was the first suspect tried with attempting to help a foreign
nation under the terms of the 1996 Economic Espionage Act, passed to
help prevent pilfering of sensitive economic information. Chung chose
to have the case heard by the judge rather than a jury.


Chung was convicted last year on charges of economic espionage and
acting as an agent for more than three decades while employed by
Rockwell International and Boeing Co.


When Chung was convicted, Carney said the case revealed Chung's
"secret life" as a "spy" for China. The case against him arose from an
investigation into another engineer, Chi Mak, who worked in the United
States and obtained sensitive military information for China. Mak and
several relatives were convicted of providing defense information to
China, the U.S. attorney's office said. Carney sentenced Mak to more
than 24 years in prison in 2008.


Federal authorities said Chung stole restricted technology and trade
secrets, including data related to the space shuttle and the Delta IV
rocket.


"This case demonstrates our resolve to protect the secrets that help
protect the United States, as well as the important technology
advancements developed by scientists working for companies that
provide crucial support to our national security programs," acting
U.S. Atty. George S. Cardona said Monday in a statement.


Chung held a "secret" security clearance when he worked at Rockwell
and Boeing on the space shuttle program, authorities said. He retired
in 2002 but the next year returned to Boeing as a contractor, a
position he held until September 2006, the U.S. attorney's office
said.


Between 1985 and 2003, Chung made trips to China to deliver lectures
on technology involving the space shuttle and other programs, the
government said. During those trips, Chung met with Chinese government
officials, including military agents, U.S. authorities said.

rst0/rst9 is allowing his unseemly veneration for the CCP dictatorship
in Beijing to cloud is veneration for facts.

The entire June 4th incident was exposed as nothing but American's
infamous false flag colour revolution, and it failed miserably. Fang was
THE American attack flag ship under his banana yellow skin. Whether he
was aware that he was used by the Americans as nothing but a running dog
of western ideology is something only his conscience knows.

It was already in the work lining up James Lilley as U.S. Ambassador
to China. James Lilley spent over 30 years with the CIA. The U.S.
Embassy must have completely filled with CIA agents ready to go once
Lilley arrived.

That's speculation, not proof.

The proof is in the 30 years he spent working for the CIA. His whole
life work was the CIA.
