Red Guards in Britain: China Ambassador Calls on Chinese Students in UK to ‘Serve the Motherland’

Harkening back to the rhetoric of Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution, China’s ambassador in London has called on Chinese university students studying in the United Kingdom to “serve your motherland”, amid growing concern about the influence of Beijing on Western campuses.

In recently unearthed comments made to the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad, Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said: “I hope you will carry on the glorious tradition of patriotism. I hope you will always live your personal dreams in the greater cause of striving for the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.”

“I hope with what you have learned here and now, you could serve your motherland and people in the future. And I hope your youthful vigour will drive you on as you work harder to realize your dream,” Liu added.

In response to the comments, Professor Christopher Hughes of the London School of Economics told The Times: “The idea of patriotism, in the Chinese context, means supporting the Communist Party. It means wanting unification with Taiwan. It means completely crushing Tibetan aspirations for autonomy. It means crushing Hong Kong. It challenges a lot of our principles of academic freedom.”

Now you understand why we did what we had to do with the Japanese population during WWII.

If we ever get in a fight with China, how many will be on the side of the “Motherland”. Sure there will be Patriots, but you can’t take that chance.

President Trump, again, has been proven right. The left howled when he banned Chinese students from science and engineering programs at US universities. He should have banned them from every program.

I wonder if any Brits, that speak against the Chinese, will go to Prison, like Tommie Robinson did?
