Dear Subscriber,

As a Chinese expatriate, I have been unable to go home for 20 plus years. With the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) oppressing members of the Falun Gong faith like me, going home would put my life and my family in great danger.

But now, my home away from home is every day starting to look more and more like the home I left. The media is starting to tell me what I should think and do. The government seems to more stringently regulate law-abiding citizens with each passing day, while turning a blind eye to certain destructive members or groups. Political correctness is taking precedence over actual correctness.

This is not the America I chose to stay in.

Back in China, the prevailing attitude I saw growing up was to not pay attention. Nothing mattered—not the government, not the economy, not the corruption, not the killing—as long as your family was okay and you had enough to eat. If times were hard, well, you’d just have to live through it somehow.

What’s frightening to me is that I see many Americans thinking that same way. The people who used to impress me with their generosity and patriotism are now ostriches with their heads in the sand, reluctant to think about anything that might disturb their happiness. If even the citizens grow numb to losing their freedoms, what reason does the government have to care?

We publish The Epoch Times for people of the world who still revere Truth and Tradition, because we know only too well what life is like without both of those things. And we will continue to, because the way we see it, the United States is the world’s last bastion for freedom. Many of us have already escaped a communist dictatorship once. This time, we will stand our ground.

Our comfort rests in the fact that we have men and women like you who are standing with us. Many of you write and tell us about amazing things you’re doing to help protect our freedoms—they’re truly exceptional stories, but we also understand that not everybody has the time and money to do these monumental things.

Our only ask is that at the very least, you keep yourself informed, engaged, and tuned in, even if it might be difficult. The apathy of decent people is the fuel that feeds authoritarian flames. At a time when the country we call home is at stake, it’s not a mistake anyone can afford to make.

Thank you kindly for being a subscriber of The Epoch Times, and we hope that we can continue to provide the information you need to make the right decisions.

In Truth and Tradition, 

John Tang

CEO
