For those who believe in Christmas, please be generous and kind to those who don't. The Tao Te Ching says that a bad man is a good man's charge.
It is not necessarily the case that those who don't believe in Christmas are bad, just as it is the case that those who believe in Christmas are not necessarily good.
The mirror was invented for this reason.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all those you love and care about.

OPEN LETTERS TO PRESIDENT XI OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
President Xi,
As an Overseas Chinese person, I beseech you not to make deals with the United States on anything that would put China in a disadvantageous position, presently or in the future.
China has the will and the power to do what is right for the world in the long-term perspective of history. Your job, Mr. President, is to carry out the will of the entire world's people to be free and being able to pursue plans of their own according to their situation without coercion or threats from anyone.
China has always advocated for a multi-polar world and that should continue to be China's goal - - to be an equal among equals -- to walk proudly and freely.
I can tell you that the American people do not have faith in the government that rules them at this time.
You have their blessing and my blessing to be strong and just.
