    the rejection of Chinese traditional culture. In a 1988 interview with Hong Kong's Liberation Monthly (now known as Open Magazine), he said "modernization means wholesale westernization, choosing a human life is choosing a Western way of life. The difference between the Western and the Chinese governing system is humane vs in-humane, there's no middle ground ... Westernization is not a choice of a nation, but a choice for the human race."[39]

    In that same interview, Liu was asked what it would take for China to realize a true historical transformation. He replied:

    [It would take] 300 years of colonialism. In 100 years of colonialism, Hong Kong has changed to what we see today. With China being so big, of course it would require 300 years as a colony for it to be able to transform into how Hong Kong is today. I have my doubts as to whether 300 years would be enough.[39][40]

          It's entirely possible that he was a Maoist at some point and when he left, he was taken in by a group like RFA/CIA and they just started feeding him lines. I don't know how you end up with takes like this without being some sort of op.
