Ep. 169 The Communist Party of China vs. Our U.S. Constitution

Ep. 169 The Communist Party of China vs. Our U.S. Constitution

Oppressive states and regimes run by a dictator have something in common; an iron grip on every aspect of their citizens' lives. Basic freedoms-like speech, assembly, religion-don't exist in these countries. As westerners, we read about these oppressions. But every now and then, we are able to hear a first-hand account of what happens inside these secretive governments. We are honored that today is one such day. Our guest is Chen Guangcheng. An activist and lawyer, Chen was beaten, jailed and placed under house arrest by the Chinese government. In April 2012, Chen escaped house arrest and was given refuge in the US embassy in Beijing. In May 2012, Chen and his family were granted US visas and they came to the United States. We are beyond excited to have Chen as our special guest, joining our all-star student panel, for this insightful and first-hand account into life inside the People's Republic of China.
