Meet the Chinese dissidents rooting President Trump
In a downtown cafe in Washington one recent winter morning, Xia Yeliang’s impassioned defense of Donald Trump’s politics pulled some patrons’ attention away from their mugs.Inquisitive eyes darted toward where Xia sat, as he enthusiastically navigated a litany of conservative Republican talking points: welfare reform, immigration control, the migrant caravan, the perils of a Bernie Sanders presidency.
That Trump supporters exist within the U.S.-based diaspora of Chinese activists is not in itself surprising. “It’s a broad community with commensurately broad views,” said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch . Batting away Trump’s flattery of Xi as a residual “bad habit” from his days as a businessman, Xia said the administration’s actions on trade and the Huawei case amounted to “a direct attack [on] the vulnerability of the Chinese regime”., the 58-year-old’s support for Trump is also fuelled by his hatred of socialism and communism, ideologies that Trump has spoken out against forcefully on numerous occasions.
Trump’s public condemnations of communism have never singled out China, but that doesn’t bother Chen Guangcheng, the blind legal activist and human rights advocate who rose to international prominence after a dramatic escape from house arrest in 2012 and subsequent flight to the U.S. “The Communist Party of China’s days of running amok and spreading tyranny throughout the world are over,” Chen said.
