a town built by chinese. here the chinese could own the houses they built but the land was owned by a farmer named loch and the law at the time forbade chinese from owning land. connie and her husband moved into a three car garage given them by her husband's father. they added on to the building, made a home and raised their children. when the alien land act was struck down in 1952, the chinese began moving away to places where they could buy a house and the land under it. but even after her husband died, connie stayed on. determined that some day she would own her little piece of land. by the time sacramento county bought the land under loch in 2001, connie's husband had died. but she fought on. and at last, last month, the county offered to sell the homeowners the land under their homes. connie bought hers for $5,000. >> you never know how happy i was that day. i tell you i was in cloud nine for days. because i couldn't believe that i finally got the land under my house. in fact, two days before that i went

it's a chinese book and i would also point out that today the chinese believe i think correctly that we are in year 65 of the 100 year marathon. that means there are 34 more years to go so there are a lot of things on the american side that i proposed in the last chapter that we could do and one of them is related to what the china dream is because to some degree what you might call the american dream and the china dream are compatible. it's not a zero-sum you can't have your dream if i want to have my dream. the overlap is the focus of a number of organizations here in washington d.c. that i not only praise, i say we have to expand the budget and they have to do more. it's like lighting a a candle instead of praising the darkness and the candle that is already going and several in the recommendations, number one the national endowment for democracy has done a great deal in china and has to do a great deal more. its budget began very low. has the same president it has always had. he's like a lifetime president for the national endowment for democracy and a number of speeches about de

it's from a chinese book. and i'd also point out that today, the chinese believe, i think correctly, near year 65 of the hundred year marathon. that means there's 34 nor -- 34 more years to go. so a lot of things on the american side i propose in the last chapter that we can do, and one of them is the -- they're related to what the china dream is because to some degree, what you might call the american dream, and the china dream, are compatible it's not a zero sum you can't have your cream if i want to have my dream. and the overlap is the focus of a number of organizations here in washington, dc that i not only praise, i say we have to expand their budget, they have to too more. nothing like lighting a candle instead of praising the darkness. and the candles that are already going -- i list several of them in the last chapter in recommendations. number one the national endowment for democracy. done a great deal in china has to do a great deal more. it budget began very low. it has the same president it's alwa

i chinese.i make an appeal at the end of the chapter i have i have a kind of spy versus spy series of case studies. that was clearly a victory for them. but the fbi will not release the damage assessment report yet. i call upon them to do that. another spy for china who was caught admitted in court in alexandria and 86 was found dead. the black trash bag around his neck and the fix it himself. he wasn't able to tell everything he had passed to china but said he had been doing it for 30 years and was an employee of the cia. that's another one from the chinese side. entreat you read the book. try to bring out the secret aspects of the strategy that implement these broad themes how is that as an answer? does that satisfy your question? >> if i may add, as i understand it the goal is not out the open but the word secret you can quibble about it, but what he's actually referring to is the secret implementation the pop out plant that's what he's talking about. as we want people to do what we have both

while it is in chinese.[laughter] so the fourth assumption you have listed in your book are number one that engagement brings complete cooperation. you and i probably agree on that one. in my book i've made the same argument this is general tension in the state department that engagement is to cooperation and nobody gives any margin in the other side actually manipulating the engagement. that is something that is interesting. the second assumption is that china is admitted to democracy as you believe that is not the case. the third assumption is china is the fragile flower. it is not going to be militaristic he had >> the pressure in china, they will collapse. >> then the assumption china wants to be and is just like us and that is where i started the conversation. this is an assumption until it was i was 18. for example, i've always argued no al qaeda doesn't want the same thing. a guy who's going to kill themselves does not want a better life which is what the american dream has cut a better life. the assu

he gave the chinese people pride. they had finally stood up after many years of humiliation at the hands of the imperialist powers, not only japan but mostly japan. if mao had died before the hundred flowers movement of 1956, the anti-rightist campaign by 50-cent, i think what we would all be talking about what a great leader he was, even though the seeds of his badness were planted in 42-44. still i think he would be deemed to be a great man. he would be, the chinese would be right, 70% right, maybe 30% wrong. but, unfortunately, he didn't died in 1955 or 1956. >> we have time for one more question. >> sorry, i arrived late but you mentioned the chinese intellectuals who were against the mao, but they were also -- >> for mao. >> then later that criticized him secretly, okay. but their words some westerners who were advisors -- but there were westerners who were advisors tomorrow. like michael lindsay you know? he was at the university and then he went to help mao. michael lindsay, in case you do not know he was profe

the chinese believe we're in your 65. they're are things are proposing the last chapter that we can do and one of them -- and they are related to what the china dream is. they are compatible. it is not a zero sum. the overlap is the focus of a number of organizations here in washington dc that i don't only praise but say we have to expand the budget and do more. i list several of them in the last chapter. the national endowment for democracy to my great deal in china have to do a great deal more. the budget began low and has the same president it has always had. he's like a a lifetime president of the national battle for democracy. and he attended the oslo ceremony when he received the nobel peace prize and was not there because he was in jail the time we drove down to tiananmen square the when in the theater students and no one knew what was going to happen. it appeared to be a peaceful demonstration against corruption of all things is a chain smoker command aviation glasses on. he went to oslo. he and many other countri

but when it was enforced, it was only enforced against chinese only enforced against chinese and this case was appealed up to the supreme court. and the supreme court said this was -- you have much more knowledge on this and if -- if i'm not saying this correctly but the supreme court held this was a blatantly racial -- racially discriminatory law. and they struck it down. now, i read two different -- two different authors had different reasons. one was that there weren't that many chinese. so the law didn't really have that many -- that much effect. a lot more -- i think it was the african-american civil war so the laws went -- the court was too busy trying to decide the laws against them. so the chinese sort of got away with it. the other view of laws, this law was struck down, is discriminatory, was because it had to deal with property rights. and the court felt that the property rights should be that the jurisdiction of the federal courts had not -- not the state legislature. so there is some feeling, even though the laws were generally against the chinese -- chinese or asian amer

the chinese story is que different. chinese initiative and strategy at work, and the american side being hesitant to accept. ultimately it does happen. i can use that as one example of chinese strategic thinking that i really admire. i am not criticizing them as being demonic or malevolent. they are quite smart. they may well be outsmarting us for a long time to come. >> you make the case that it is a bit of a tom sawyer strategy. they just don't want to papaint the fence. how does this manifest, because the united states, in its dedesire in the china opening, to win an ally against the soviet union, was driven by the realization thathina was weak against the soviet union. how is this tom sawyer strategy playing out? >> i tell the story in the book about secretary in 1979 who explained that chinese strategy was to surpass the soviet union and then america would be next. nobody believed that at the time. china had 10% of our gdp. nobody believed they had a prayer of pulling it off. looking back, the documents the viets g

during the chinese revolution, when they took chinese prisoners and the nationalists prisoners, they would put them through a two week propaganda schooling thing and then they would release them because they didn't want prisoners. so they would release them. so what happened then we marched all the way south from congay all the way down towards the front line. all the way down there -- the guards, they all knew we were going home. our spirits were great. >> when was this? >> this was january february -- january, february, march of 1950. yeah, it was the end of february, the beginning of march. >> of 1951. >> of '51 yeah. >> so you thought you were released? >> yeah. at the point of release something changed. and they released 20 marines or they left them there unattended. they eventually said they escaped, but i think the army didn't want to make it look like they were released by the chinese. then they turned us around to march back up again. now our morale, forget about it. it was shattered. one minute you're going home and the next minute you're going back the way you came from an
