BONUS | Lily Tang Williams on Growing Up in Communist China

•

Welcome back to another bonus episode of Heritage Explains. This is our last one on China, because next week, we are very excited to bring you a new season of Heritage Explains. And this one will be focused on the crisis at the Southern Border.

Lily Tang Williams grew up in China and witnessed Mao Ze Dong’s Cultural Revolution firsthand. A Chinese lawyer and law school professor, she was able to leave China and is now an American Citizen, where she speaks out on her experiences and the dangers of communism.


What you’re about to hear are Lily’s remarks from a panel held at the Heritage Foundation in December of 2021. The event was called Communism’s Dark Tyranny, the 30th Anniversary of the Collapse of the Soviet Union and was co-hosted by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
