He could not go to live in USA after 1949 because he was forbidden to travel to China by USA, then he had to choose to live in Switzerland.

The Gang of Four had very little popular support. Chou En-lai and Chairman Mao had massive popular support.

Most civilians had no idea what was going on. Hua Guofeng and Ye Jianying were able to purge Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four because they had the support of the army. For Deng Xiaoping and others, it was too normal to use the army to suppress "riots", which happened frequently during the Cultural Revolution. So when students gathered in Tiananmen Square in 1989, they felt that the "Red Guards" were causing trouble again, so they should continue to use the army to suppress them.

Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who want to learn Chinese. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help remember them. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.

They were there, they shaped the opinion of American people about those facts... and 40 years later they still don't understand a thing.

I was an American economics prof in China for 12 years. I was so glad that SOB had long died. When I was in China ( 1999-2012) China was more relaxed compared to when Mao was there or to now, with Xi Jinping in power. But Mao was the worse in causing starvation, etc.

Some people may even label anarchists as being ultra leftist or "radical". They are making a big mistake.

Chiang Ching was NOT a radical and Chou En-lai was NOT a moderate.
