Dispatch from Beijing

Eighty-six years old and with the wisdom and experience that come with it, he could have taken the easy route, living the comfortable, soft life of conformity and apathy. Instead, Jay is actively involved in opposing Western tyranny and genocide, putting up a website, writing articles and books, all the time fighting the good fight.
