Lily Tang Williams was born into and raised under the brutal Maoist regime of China. Indoctrinated into the teachings of the Chinese Communist Party, she was taught to forsake all other beliefs and possessions for the glory of the State. She’s now a US citizen and a Libertarian politician, speaker & activist who travels the country talking about her experiences.

 

Lily joins the program to talk to Tatiana and Josh about her history and her concerns about modern, ‘trendy’ socialism. She compares and contrasts her childhood under Mao with the freer markets under his successor, and gives her thoughts on China’s alleged theft of the West’s intellectual property and its attitudes toward governance of Hong Kong & Taiwan. Lily also gives her thoughts on the current US administration and its treatment of China, why it’s important for the free world to stand up to China, and much, much more.

About the Guest:
Lily Tang Williams was a Chinese lawyer and law assistant professor, who became an American

businesswoman and a professional speaker.

 

Born to illiterate working-class parents in China’s western Sichuan province just before the

Cultural Revolution, Lily Tang Williams directly witnessed Chairman Mao’s takeover and the

horrors his regime inflicted.  She grew up experiencing extremely poor living conditions, food

rationing, political and social chaos and, of course, Communist indoctrination.

 

She learned to work hard, persevere, and be grateful for the opportunities she was given.

Eventually, she graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai with an undergraduate law

degree. After graduation, she was selected to continue as part of the law school faculty, as well

as practice corporate law in Shanghai as China began to rebuild its economy.

 

In 1988, Lily Tang Williams decided to study in the U.S., leaving her position with only $100 in

her pocket and $1200 in debt to her American sponsor, a Fulbright professor at the University

of Texas at Austin.  Though she could not speak English fluently she was determined to achieve

success in this country, earning a Master’s degree in Administration and Planning from the

School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. 

Subsequently, Lily started work for Wyoming Home Health as a medical social worker, and later

she worked as an executive for corporations in both Hong Kong and the U.S. Eventually, she

went into business for herself, providing consulting services in international business and, with

her husband, buying and managing residential real estate properties.

 

This experience in the American economy contrasted sharply with the Communist

indoctrination she endured in China.  She became an avid student of Liberty, free market and

free enterprise. Lily became a U.S citizen and for the first time in her life, she voted in 2000. In

2014, Lily ran for Colorado State House District 44. In 2016, Lily was the candidate for U.S.

Senate in Colorado.

 

Today, Lily continues to manage her own business, and relishes the freedom, independence,

and prosperity she found in America. She loves her new country and travels frequently

throughout the states to share the story of her American Dream, defending the free speech and

free enterprise, and promoting civil and economic liberties. She enjoys educating people about

the reality of Communism, Socialism, China’s legal system and culture, women’s issues and

educational reforms. She is an inspirational speaker to many people and received very positive

feedback from her audience.
