Bo Guagua's brain circuit is cut from the same cloth as Xi Jinping! The four characters of the sage family reveal the bottom line, the Wong Kim Ark case proves overseas Chinese from weak nations can still win against the US, Singapore passport 192 vs China 83, claiming bloodline is equivalent to declaring loyalty for ethnic Chinese, the saying 'if the skin is gone, what can the hair attach to' is actually a way to default on debts! Stop speaking for overseas Chinese (Extra Episode)
The program mainly analyzes Bo Guagua's National Day message published on the X platform, compares his rhetorical logic with Xi Jinping's political mindset, and points out the "identification with the aggressor" psychology demonstrated in the growth trajectory of the red descendants. By reviewing the experiences of three generations of the Bo family and Xi Zhongxun's father and son, the historical Wong Kim Ark case, the global passport freedom index, and the historical plight of overseas Chinese, the host refutes the grand narratives that "only when the motherland is strong can overseas Chinese stand tall" and "if the skin does not exist, what can the hair adhere to?", and calls on overseas Chinese never to be represented by political opportunists.

Observe things as they are and reject fragmented understanding. Honestly speaking, I had never paid any attention to this fucking idiot Bo Guagua. Sorry about that; I rarely append the endearing term "fucking idiot" directly after a person's name. Currently, the only person who enjoys the privilege of being called a fucking idiot every time his name is mentioned is that fucking idiot Emperor You Xi. But starting today, there is one more, because Bo Guagua's and that fucking idiot Emperor You Xi's mental loops are cut from the exact same mold. Well, we will talk about that in a moment. Let's get back to the point. I hadn't paid much attention to what this fucking idiot was saying. While browsing a couple of days ago, everywhere I looked was full of him. I thought I would take a look, and holy shit, upon looking, I suddenly wanted to talk about it. On the X platform, this guy posted a National Day message. What did the message say? The message said today is National Day, and China's nation is different from Western nations; what it embodies is the civilization and bloodline of a nation. Then he warned everyone not to forget that if China is not strong, no matter how well overseas Chinese do abroad, they will never be able to stand tall. He also added at the end that if the skin does not exist, what can the hair adhere to... wait.
It was definitely his ending that said the compatriots abroad who most oppose China can get so much support and sympathy from the West precisely because China is strong. After reading it, what I suddenly understood was not the bullshit this fucking idiot said, but rather why Xi Jinping says things this way. Let's put three generations of the Bo family together and look at them, and well, the trick to it all emerges. First, let's talk about Bo Yibo. In 1967, Bo Yibo was labeled as the leader of the "61 renegade clique." This case was a major case during the Cultural Revolution that slapped the label of renegades on 61 senior CCP officials. Bo Yibo was locked up like that until 1978, a full 11 years. Bo Yibo's wife, Hu Ming, died in January 1967 on the way to being escorted under arrest. Regarding how she died, there are all sorts of stories; the CCP claims she committed suicide, while Bo Guagua's version is that she was beaten to death. Okay, at the end of 1978, who rehabilitated Bo Yibo? It was Hu Yaobang, who was then in charge of the CCP Organization Department. As a result, in January 1987, came that intra-party living meeting that forced Hu Yaobang to step down.
The host was Bo Yibo. Now look at Bo Xilai; Bo Xilai was just a teenager during the Cultural Revolution when he was locked up, and he was locked up for about five years. Hey, at the end of 2007, Bo Xilai went to Chongqing to serve as the municipal party secretary, and what was the most famous thing he did? Singing red songs and cracking down on black societies, right? To be treated like this by his mother's system and still want to sing red songs. When it comes to Bo Guagua's generation, his parents are locked up. Here I want to quote what Bo Xilai said about his son back in 2013, and what he said went something like this: Guagua asked people for famous watches, luxury cars, international travel, got a large group of classmates to spend money, and ran up massive credit card bills. Would I like a son like this? Hey, these are Bo Xilai's original words, and what is something that can completely match this? It is Qi Xin reporting her own son Xi Jinping. Then Bo Guagua came out again, shouting that the motherland has grown strong. These three generations really illustrate that Northeast China saying to the extreme: remembering the beating but not the pain. They are all doing the same thing—after getting hit with a flying kick and electric shock from this system, they turn around and try harder than anyone else to defend this system. Hey, the good stuff is coming: the growth process of that fucking idiot Xi Jinping.
It is completely identical. Xi Jinping's father, Xi Zhongxun, was labeled a rightist in 1902 because of what? Because of a novel called Liu Zhidan, and he was persecuted back and forth for sixteen years. The year Xi Zhongxun fell from power, that fucking idiot Xi Jinping was still just a little fucking idiot. Back then he should have been only around nine or eight years old, something like that. In January 1969, Xi Jinping, not yet sixteen years old, was sent to Liangjiahe in Shaanxi to join the production brigade, and he stayed there for seven years. According to that fucking idiot Xi Jinping's own words, he wrote eight league membership applications and ten party membership applications before finally joining the party in January 1974 at the age of 31, which is roughly the same age bracket as Bo Guagua now. If Bo Guagua didn't look so much like Bo Xilai, I would have thought this was the result of Xi Jinping's mother making a mistake on some night? Or is it that to maintain the purity of this bloodline, the CCP actually holds some sort of canyon melee every spring when the animals go into heat? Otherwise, there's no explaining why the descendants of the CCP's top brass even have Stockholm syndrome to such a standard degree.
Standard—in psychology, this behavior is called identification with the aggressor. What does it mean? It means that when a person is bullied to the point of being completely defenseless, out of fear, they simply psychologically side with the person who is bullying them. This theory was proposed by the Hungarian psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi in 1933. I must state first: I am not qualified to diagnose anyone across a screen, nor will I do that job. I only use this term to describe behavior, but what is actually behind the behavior? Hey, let's tally the account. First of all, the account that everyone thinks of most easily is what? Hostages, right? Hey, his parents are both held tightly in Xi Jinping's hands, which means that every word he says outside might affect whether his parents can see a doctor inside, or whether they can receive visitors. This factor, I cannot verify, but I also cannot rule it out. But the hostage factor alone still doesn't explain everything. Why? Because the safest course of action for the family members of hostages is what? To shut the fuck up. Bo Guagua himself has said he has been silent for twelve years, which shows what? It shows that shutting up.
This path is viable. So if shutting up is all it takes for Bo Guagua, why must he open his mouth and carry the sedan chair for them? I believe the answer lies in that long post from last August where he defended Bo Xilai. In the post, what did he call his own family? He called them a family of ancient sages. Hey, just those four words, and those four words directly laid his cards on the table. Think about it: in this place called Communist China, how much are the words ancient sages worth? What does it depend on? It depends on whether the CCP regime is still considered orthodox. If the CCP is deemed illegitimate from its roots, then what is Bo Yibo? He goes from a founding father to an accomplice in tyranny. Then the value of the Bo family brand is instantly wiped out to zero. Therefore, there is only one narrative Bo Guagua can accept, which is that the system is good. Hey, my family was wronged. What is the most ruthless part? The bullshit Bo Guagua spews matches that fucking idiot Xi Jinping's narrative with seamless precision. In December 2024, Bo Guagua released a statement of over 2,000 words. How did it put it in the statement? It said that Bo Xilai never
competed with Xi Jinping, and the Bo family and the Xi family have never had any grievances. Look at that, he tried to reduce his parents' case to specific people and specific events, but the rules themselves must never be touched. In this situation, wouldn't it be enough just to shut up? Why bother arguing that there was no competition with Xi Jinping? But the moment Xi Jinping was brought into the picture, the underlying logic of the entire text became the addition logic of the CCP, completely divorced from the logic of the rule of law. What does addition mean? It means that if you lose, you can only blame your bad luck or petty villains, but the rules cannot be touched. Is there another sentence in the statement? It said that not many families in China hate the Cultural Revolution more than ours. I believe this statement, but which part do I believe? The Bo family hates that they themselves got fucked over, not that nobody cares about the power to screw others over. Those two things are fucking miles apart.
After talking about Bo Guagua, let's look at Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping's side is a national version of this paradigm. Does everyone remember a claim that this fucking idiot Xi Jinping made, called the 'Two Must-Nots'? What does it mean? It means you cannot use the thirty years after the Reform and Opening-up to negate the thirty years before it. In those first thirty years, Xi Zhongxun was purged for a full sixteen years, and Xi Jinping himself was sent down to the countryside for seven years; in the middle, he was even reported by his own mother. But this fucking idiot Xi Jinping clearly shouted that one cannot negate those thirty years, including the Cultural Revolution and the Great Famine. Why? Because if those thirty years were negated, the origin of the regime established in 1949 would become indefensible. And the succession that Xi Jinping took over would also lose its legitimacy. To put it bluntly, admitting that the system is guilty is equivalent to declaring that the power he inherited is illegitimate. So, Bo Guagua and Xi Jinping are keeping the same ledger; the only difference is one thing: Xi Jinping has power in his hands, while Bo Guagua has nothing left but a surname. Now that the ledger is clear, let's look back at the tweet, that 'overseas Chinese' of yours.
This 'backbone'—this term isn't the first time Bo Guagua has used it. At the end of that statement in December 2024, there was a sentence saying that although he has many faults, his backbone is straight. At that time, the backbone was still on Bo Guagua himself, mainly referring to his character. By October 1st of this year, this fucking backbone moved house and was applied to the CCP's China. He said something like: 'If the country is not strong, the individual cannot stand tall.' Why is this group of people so fucking fond of grand narratives? On the CCP's side, it was 'not kneeling,' and what is Bo Guagua's? It's that the regime has grown a backbone. Interesting, isn't it? What exactly does Bo Guagua mean by 'backbone'? Look at his follow-up post, and it becomes clear. After this tweet was criticized, Bo Guagua added a supplementary explanation, the gist of which was that Musk and Rubio can integrate into American society because of their appearance. Hey, this intuitive connection is exactly the same as the paradigm they fucking cultivated; they can only see what is on the surface. He went on to say that Chinese people are not easily accepted by everyone because of race, appearance, and culture. Everyone, pay attention to Bo.
Of the two people he picked, one is the world's richest man, and as for Rubio, who has powerful political influence, it goes without saying—he is the current U.S. Secretary of State. So, in Bo Guagua's mind, integration is not about your neighbors not bullying you, or the police not harassing you; what is it? It's about sitting at the highest table. Look at what he is using as the ruler for this 'backbone.' Isn't it still power? Isn't it still official position? Isn't it still political influence? Is it not the same thing that this fucking idiot Xi Jinping wants and is constantly purging and consolidating right now? It's just power. If this guy were to become the leader of the CCP, he would simply be a mini-Xi Jinping. Therefore, people like Xi Jinping are just a matter of arriving two years earlier or later under this CCP system. At the same time, if Bo Xilai had really won the political struggle against Xi Jinping, the current situation would be no better than it is under this fucking idiot Xi Jinping. So, do not hold any unrealistic fantasies about the CCP, or even the second or third generations of the CCP. Let's continue to analyze.
That thing he calls a 'backbone' in his mouth—the rights given by law, the benefits of historical interests—as long as it is a country ruled by law, no one can take them away. But the kind supported by strength is called 'power' (quan-shi), which is the power (quan-li) and the force (li) of historical strength. This power might be here today and gone tomorrow. This fucking idiot Bo Guagua has had plenty of the latter since he was a child. In 2010, what did this fucking idiot do? He went to Tibet with his girlfriend at the time, Chen Xiaodan, the granddaughter of CCP elder Chen Yun. Later, in the photos that leaked, there were police cars clearing the way the whole time. Which law granted this treatment? None of them did; wasn't it just granted by Bo Xilai's official position? After 2012, Bo Xilai's official position was gone, but did Bo Guagua lose any of his rights as a human being? No. Columbia University still admitted him, Canada still let Bo Guagua work, and Taiwan still let Bo Guagua hold his wedding banquet. The only thing lost was the 'power' (quan-shi). So, what is my judgment? It is that the 'backbone' that Bo Guagua says cannot stand tall is not referring to overseas Chinese; it is referring to the fact that he himself is too far from the poker table. What is the table? It is...
Is it that table where you can make decisions and distribute benefits? When it comes down to it, isn't it just about power? Let's talk about the relationship between a country's backbone and its people. Everyone should know about the Wong Kim Ark case, which is the case regarding birthright citizenship. Let me briefly explain: the situation at the time was that a Chinese cook returned to the Qing Dynasty, and when he came back, U.S. Customs wouldn't let him in. How should I put it? They said, "Your parents are Chinese, so you are not a U.S. citizen." This case went all the way to the Supreme Court, and what was the result? Wong Kim Ark won against the U.S. government. That was in 1898. I won't go into detail about how pathetic the Qing Dynasty was back then. A more iconic event was in 1894, when my former Qing government had just been beaten to a pulp by the Japanese Combined Fleet and had to pay 230 million taels of silver. So what? Did the Qing government help Wong Kim Ark when he was being sold out? There was another case before that, in 1886, when there was a Chinese laundry called Yick Wo in San Francisco. The owner wasn't a U.S. citizen at the time, so he was often harassed. He refused to accept the city government's harassment of his laundry, and this lawsuit also went all the way to the Supreme Court, and he won too.
From then on, the equal protection clause in the U.S. Constitution applied even to non-citizens. Later, in 1943, the U.S. repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which specifically barred Chinese laborers from entering. 1943 wasn't exactly a time when China was a powerful nation; it was still fighting the Japanese. How long did the lawsuit of this Chinese cook, Wong Kim Ark, remain relevant? It is still relevant today. On June 30th of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Trump v. Barbara, and the justices voted 6-3 to directly strike down the executive order Trump used to restrict birthright citizenship. The core precedent the justices cited was none other than the Wong Kim Ark case from 128 years ago. Now, some might ask, is a strong motherland of no use to overseas Chinese? It depends on what kind of strength it is: one is a strength that earns trust, and the other is a self-righteous, provocative kind of stupidity. Let's look at the data. In July of this year, the Henley Passport Index was updated. This index measures how many places you can go with a passport without needing a visa in advance. A Singaporean passport can go to 192 places, ranking first in the world.
China's passport can go to 83 places, ranking 60th. Does Singapore have aircraft carriers? Do they have nuclear bombs? They have neither. What does a passport measure? It measures whether other countries trust you, not whether they fear your military. This is strength based on trust. Conversely, if some stupid country shows its self-righteous strength by acting against others, what kind of treatment will people abroad face? There is a ready-made example in history. On February 19, 1942, U.S. President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, and about 120,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were driven out of their homes and locked in concentration camps. This is also a dark chapter in U.S. history. Among these 120,000 Japanese-Americans, nearly two-thirds were U.S. citizens. There is no need to whitewash this. In the words of the CCP, the responsibility lies entirely with the U.S. side. The U.S. government itself later admitted it and even set up a special investigative committee. Then, in 1983, the conclusion reached was that the responsibility lay with the U.S. itself. How did the U.S. government criticize itself? It was racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a dereliction of duty by politicians. This conclusion became the basis for America's subsequent self-reflection.
Descendants of Germans and Italians, who were also at war with the U.S., were not interned in large numbers. Why? Let's talk about Japan at the time. Japan was self-righteously strong and directly bombed Pearl Harbor. That was the fuse! But actually, what was even more fatal wasn't that; it was that Japan gave the U.S. an excuse. What excuse? Japan's nationality law at the time was based on bloodline. Under Japanese law then, if your father was Japanese, the child was considered Japanese regardless of where they were born. Does that look familiar? Now, Japan claimed people by bloodline, and the U.S. suspected them by bloodline. The U.S. general in charge of the internment, John L. DeWitt, argued that the Japanese bloodline would not be diluted just because they were born in the U.S. So, the first sentence of Bo Gua's tweet is truly fucking scum. Saying that China's national cohesion is based on bloodline—which nation's isn't? But what is he doing with that statement? He is effectively declaring to the whole world an object of allegiance for all ethnic Chinese that they never agreed to. When is the backbone of overseas Chinese the weakest? It is when the CCP considers itself strong, combined with dictatorship, and combined with fucking provoking everyone everywhere—that is when overseas Chinese are at their most miserable.
So Bo Guagua, you fucking idiot, if you want to seek justice for your father, go ahead. Do whatever you want, none of my business. But when it comes to you acting as the spokesperson for the bloodline of all ethnic Chinese globally, you can get the hell away from me. I don't need you to speak for me. Let's look at this idiot's theory of the skin and the hair. According to Bo Guagua's logic, the country is the skin and overseas Chinese are the hair. Let's see how this so-called skin has historically treated the hair. Central Plains dynasties, without exception, have basically never regarded overseas Chinese as human beings; they were always treated as disposable power resources, no different from those trapped inside the Great Firewall. First, let's look at the Ming dynasty. In 1603, the Spanish massacred Chinese in Manila. What is recorded in the History of Ming? It mentions twenty thousand merchants and citizens, but I deeply doubt this figure. Why do I doubt it? Let's look at what follows. After the news got back, how did the Wanli Emperor respond? Wanli scolded a Fujianese man named Zhang Yi, saying that Zhang Yi lied about Luzon having gold mines, caused trouble abroad, and deserved to die. As for the Spanish who committed the murders, the History of Ming only has five characters: they could not even escape—meaning it was no big deal. The Fujian surveillance commissioner at the time, Xu Xueju, sent a message to the Spaniards.
An official proclamation—well, they called it a proclamation, but it was actually a memorandum of understanding. What did it say? It offered a fucking explanation as to why the Ming court would not send troops. It stated that China is divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with merchants being the lowest. See how that matches up with the merchants and citizens mentioned in the History of Ming? Wasn't this just paving the way for not sending troops? It claimed that merchants who go out to sea and never return are looked down upon even by their own families, so if they get killed, they get killed, and it's no great loss. The Great Ming was like this, and the Great Qing was no better. In 1740, the Dutch massacred about ten thousand Chinese in present-day Jakarta, an event known as the Red River massacre. Jakarta also experienced another anti-Chinese massacre in the 1990s. But let's get back to the point. The Veritable Records of the Qing Dynasty document a meeting held by ministers in 1742 to discuss a certain matter. What were they discussing? Not whether to seek justice for the victims, but whether to shut down trade with Nanyang because of it. What did the Viceroy of Liangjiang, De Pei, say? He said those who were killed were local-born people anyway, no different from the local barbarians. The final conclusion was that trade would continue as usual. Legally, it was even more ruthless, starting from.
Beginning in 1717, the Kangxi Emperor directly banned travel to Nanyang. By 1893, when the ban on going overseas was officially repealed, traveling abroad had been a crime under the laws of the Great Qing for 176 years. Don't think this was just about old emperors; the CCP is even more fucking absurd. From 1975 to 1979, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia. According to Yale historian David Kiernan, the Chinese population in Cambodia plummeted from about 430,000 down to just 215,000. Who was the biggest backer of the Khmer Rouge during those years? It was none of other than the CCP. Let's also look at the CCP's own laws. Article 9 of the 1980 Nationality Law explicitly stated that anyone residing abroad who voluntarily acquired a foreign nationality automatically lost Chinese nationality. In other words, a large portion of overseas Chinese who took foreign citizenship had long since been stripped away from the skin by the regime itself. Conversely, how did the mainland revolutionaries treat the skin? Sun Yat-sen's earliest revolutionary group, the Revive China Society, was founded in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1894.
The funds for the April 1911 Guangzhou uprising were mostly raised by overseas Chinese in Nanyang and the Americas. The very motherland that these overseas Chinese paid money to overthrow was the Great Qing. There is another even more interesting thing: where does the idiom itself, "If the skin does not exist, to what can the hair adhere?" come from? It comes from the Zuo Commentary. The origin of this phrase is absolute, top-tier irony. Let me explain how this idiom came to be. Back when the State of Qin suffered a famine, it asked the State of Jin for grain. The previous year, when Jin suffered a famine, Qin had lent it grain, but at the same time, Jin still owed Qin the territory and cities it had promised. Afterwards, Guo She, an official of Jin, uttered this classic line: "If the skin does not exist, to what can the hair adhere?" What did it mean? It meant that the cities and land were already rotten anyway, and even giving grain wouldn't buy back people's hearts, so they might as well just renege on the debt. Then, this phrase turned out to be terribly inauspicious for the master who uttered it. Why? The year after Guo She said those words, the states of Qin and Jin went to war. Guo She's master, Duke Hui of Jin, was captured alive on the spot by the Qin army. So from the very day this phrase was born, not only was it ominous.
It brought doom to its master; secondly, it was fundamentally a phrase used to default on a debt. By July 9, 1957—this was at the height of the Anti-Rightist Campaign—Mao Zedong used this phrase to refer to whom? To intellectuals, claiming that intellectuals, once their old skin was gone, could only attach themselves to the proletariat. So this phrase was never meant for reasoning; under the CCP's discourse, what was it used for? It was used to declare that your group has no right to exist independently. In 1957, it was declared against intellectuals, and now that idiot Bo Guagua has applied it to overseas Chinese. I fucking thank your ancestors down to the eighth generation. Moreover, you can see that this idiot has political ambitions. When his father was fine, he hooked up with Chen Yun's granddaughter; after his father fell, he married into a prominent Taiwanese family. Doesn't this make him view himself as a prince waiting to return home to inherit supreme power? But right now, isn't he just a political hostage lingering in foreign lands? His political ambitions are vividly exposed! I see many friends cursing him, basically saying things like he wasted his education. I say he didn't waste it at all. That idiot Xi Jinping is also a Tsinghua PhD in economics. For idiots like Bo Guagua and Xi Jinping, prestigious schools and degrees were never meant to enlighten them.
French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has a term called habitus. What is habitus? It means that the kind of household a person grows up in during childhood shapes a specific set of habits for viewing things. This set of habits forms much earlier than classroom education, and everything learned later must first pass through the filter of this habitus. Bo Guagua was raised by his maternal grandparents, and his grandfather Gu Junsheng was also a general in the People's Liberation Army. In other words, a child knows from the time they can remember that their family name is a qualification—off to Oxford. Studying politics and economics, he didn't learn politics, nor did he learn economics; what he learned was simply how to make this qualification sound more respectable. On the other end, elite universities cannot reform the muddled brains of such people. This fucking idiot's experiences are almost identical to those of a fucking idiot like Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping faked a law thesis to get a doctorate in economics, but that's in China. As for this fucking idiot Bo Guagua, during his junior year, because his coursework was truly too pathetic, he was directly suspended for a year. Upon graduation, his Oxford advisor even refused to write a recommendation letter for Bo Guagua to go to Harvard. Hey, but this privilege works just as well abroad, and the result was that Harvard's Kennedy School still accepted him anyway. This is also his privilege. This is the exact thing he pursues. For people of this kind, elite universities sell networks, diplomas, and resumes. As for the coursework and channels, those are the most irrelevant parts.
That dictator Assad in Syria, the one shaken to death by Xi Jinping, actually studied ophthalmology in London. Fat Boy the Third even attended middle school in Switzerland. Western classrooms didn't teach these two to become advocates of constitutionalism either. So this isn't a problem of the brain; it's a problem of position. What does a system that can turn a Politburo member into a prisoner overnight mean to an ordinary Chinese person who has no family name to rely on? This is not a problem Bo Guagua couldn't calculate; it's that he never had to calculate it. When Bo Guagua looks at this system, he has always looked at it from the side of those in power. And fucking China's state is a state, while Western states fucking aren't states? Fucking even the concept of the nation-state was put forward by people like Rousseau and Herder. You fucking—well, sometimes when I see these fucking idiots talking nonsense, it makes me fucking angry. In the end, what I want to say to him is: you fucking have your own political ambitions, so don't fucking drag overseas Chinese into it. How can you cry injustice for that dog of a father? How can you praise the CCP? That's your own problem; it's your stance and also your desire. But don't fucking drag overseas Chinese into it, seriously, just don't let me run into you in Canada. If I run into you, even at the cost of sitting in a cell for a few days, I'll make you experience a Northeast-style flashing fist and a flying kick of golden light.
At the same time, I think you should fucking study professionally. Why study politics and economics? You should study psychology, preferably clinical psychology, to treat that bone-deep Stockholm syndrome in yourself, and you can also treat your peers among the third and fourth generations of the CCP, so fewer fucking idiots like Xi Jinping are produced.
