I will reply to your questions one by one.

I don’t know whether I belong to the leftist or the rightist, but I know I love Chinese history and my country and I am partly nationalist, so in your west eyes I maybe a rightist.

Honestly speaking, I may freely say 90% of the things you're allowed to do in the West. To some extent I can freely say 100 %, if I am willing and don’t fear the possible aftermath. I mean I can talk with you on almost any aspects of your concerned things except for few things, like the Tiananmen square event in 1989, Falungong event and Jiang zemin, but that just mean that I can not discuss these things in depth. I often post in China’s forums; so I know what I’ll say are safe for me or what degree the freedom of speech in China is up to. In short, the Chinese freedom of speech is not better than your west and lags behind yours a long way. However, it is not so bad as your saying 25%, and better greatly than you have thought. Without further ado, you can talk with me on any things including the Tiananmen square event in 1989, Falungong event and Jiang zemin if you want to, I will be pleased to discuss. You can testify what I said above.
