Episode Details

Xi Van Fleet discusses her childhood growing up in Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China and the scary parallels she sees happening in the United States. She says that President Biden’s recent speech calling America’s children’s “everyone's children,” is similar to the Mao’s approach to children in China which were seen first as the ”governments’ children,” over the “biological parents.” Saying “Chairman Mao, he was the father for all Chinese children, so our loyalty should go to the party and Chairman Mao first. That means if you'll find your parents, say things or do things that is not in line with the party, you'll report them.”
