I love my motherland China.But I don't love the Chinese Communist Party.
First,CCP governs us all the time.Any voice of objection is banned.And some radical persons will be pushed into prison.Secondly the most offical are corrupt and tyrannize.What can we do?Nothing but paying tax.You may ask where is your army?Why not overthrow CCP?That's just a joke because army belong CCP not China.In China person can't say what they want,organnise new party and even give birth to two children.I don't understand all about America.But I know everything about China and CCP.Maybe America is not perfect as my imagination.If bad,can worse than China?
People are created equal and people are free.I never give up to pursue this right.
What can I do to change my nationality?

First, I assume you are taking a risk even posting this. I admire your courage. But I guess some things are stronger than fear, like the urge to be free, that is something that even fear cannot ultimately stamp out.
Second, thank you for wanting to come through the front door. We have literally thousands every day who sneak in under the fence illegally. But people like you are more than welcome. We LOVE immigrants....legal immigrants. It is what has made this country a great place to live. It has made us the most innovative and diverse nation on earth. No, we're not perfect, far from it in fact. but most of us still feel this is the best place on earth to live.
The best place to start is probably the U.S. immigration website. Immigrating here is no easy task, I won't lie to you. It can be a long complicated process. But we still think it's worth it and we hope you do too.
You might want to consider a visit here and see what we're all about. Explore our country for a while and decide where in the U.S. you want to live. Most immigrants choose one of our large cities, (Like New York city- New York, or Los Angeles - California, or Boston- Massachusetts) because it is often easier to find work. But others decide to try out our rural areas because it is much quieter, not nearly as much crime, cleaner air. In the end, it is entirely up to you. there is no restriction on where you can live in this country, you are free to move at will, when ever and where ever you choose. Folks here on Mylot will be glad to tell you what ever they can about a particular area of the country if you ask.
Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a tourist brochure, again, thank you for choosing the U.S. as your new home and I wish you the best of luck.
Welcome :)

Yes, I remembered who you were :) I think you are probably taking the right approach, study abroad here for a while, perhaps get a student VISA and work your way in from there. It is going to take a well developed plan but you seem like an intelligent guy, I think you can make this happen.

I dont know. I think you should try living in America for a while. Also, you should try getting a green card rather than being american because uyou can live in america forever if you have a green card

I sympathize with your pain. America is not perfect, but as of right now...we are a free people and no it is not worse than China. Be careful what you say about the CCP online.
Here is a link to the contact information to the U.S. Embassy in China, they will be able to help you better than anyone here on MyLot:

I hope others here on MyLot read your story and realize the dangers of big government. Good luck with your citizenship.

Thank you very much.CCP have closed down YouTube,twitter,facebook and many other websites.If I said this on a Chinese website,my post would be deleted and the prison would be my house.Here is safe.
