and China's Censorship" |

Our guest, Jun (no last name given for her safety) |

Guest for 1st hour, Jun
As
a former member of the Chinese Communist Party, Jun shares her
journey from indoctrination by the Chinese government to an
unvarnished understanding of American freedom and liberty. Lively
and engaging, June will hold you in rapt attention as she discusses
her own experiences, and sounds a warning signal to all Americans
about the ever-encroaching threats of socialism and communism.
Her topics on today's show will include:
-
The humanitarian crisis that's sweeping
China
-
The long-arm of China through WHO and media influence, and how
it affects us
-
A wake-up call to global economy and pharmaceutical industry
-
The likelihood of COVID-19 becoming a seasonal pandemic
Socialism and its big brother, Communism, has been tried for more
than 100 years by hundreds of millions of people, and the results
are always the same: Its fruits are death, destruction, and despair.
While the threat of terrorism is visible to Americans as they are
forced through more and more security screenings, infiltration of
socialism and communism in our country is mostly hidden. Silently
and effectively, they have eroded the foundation of America through
systematic attacks on our education system, economy, morality, and
traditional culture. As our nation is horribly divided, it is vital
for all of us to recognize this new form of evil in order to win
this battle.
Born and raised in China, Jun graduated from one of the top
universities where she became a member of the communist party. In
the late 1990s she came to the U.S. hoping to advance her career.
She has been involved in public speech to offer honest insights of
China and to raise awareness of China’s Human Rights issues since
2008.
In
addition to her public involvement, Jun has a Master’s degree in
Business Administration. She has been working for a Fortune 100
company for over 17 years as a management professional. Jun is an
avid world traveler, a leisure sailor and a hard-core hiker.

Joining in second hour: Dr. Wen Chen
Wen was born in China at the end of the Great
Cultural Revolution. Being victims of the horrific atrocity that
killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese
culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education.
Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at
a science competition when she was 16. Hence, she was accepted into
a top university for undergraduate study. In 1994, Wen came to the
U.S. for graduate school and received a doctorate in Biology at the
California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal
experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to be a voice
for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given over 200 presentations
to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and human
rights.
Dr. Wen Chen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a scientific
curator on genomics and biological knowledge. Part of her everyday
work is to speak at scientific conferences and seminars in
universities like UC San Diego and Harvard Medical School. In her
personal life, she is an active member of the Amnesty International
Chapter at Pasadena, a board member for Caltech Women in Biology and
Biological Engineering, and a special event host for the Caltech
Alumni Association. She lives in Pasadena with her husband and two
teenage daughters.
Coronavirus and China’s Censorship
The
spread of Wuhan Coronavirus raised worldwide attention towards
China’s policy towards epidemics and public health. With the
coronavirus death exceeding the SARS fatalities in 2003, people
start to wonder why both outbreaks happened in China. More and more
evidence emerged that the Chinese authority deliberately hid the
contagious fact of the coronavirus for three weeks by punishing
medical doctors who disclosed the information on social media. The
censorship of information eventually led to the epidemic outbreak in
Wuhan followed by the biggest quarantine in human history. The
actual statistics of infection and death rate in China remain a
mystery as the Chinese authority controls the published numbers
while declining international medical experts from entering Wuhan.
Multiple scientific publications hinted that the Wuhan coronavirus
is likely “man-made” after studying its genome sequence. Besides a
scientific review of the coronavirus, understanding the deep reason
behind the Chinese government’s disaster response is important for
us to expect its consequences and how to shape future U.S.-China
policies.
