Chinese migrant turned US congressional candidate forced to eat rats in poverty under the Mao regime issues stark warning of the 'very organized' surge of migrant 'sleeper cells': Republican says it's a joke Biden claims he can't do anything at the border

'I left China for freedom, but I was really indoctrinated. I did not know China's real history,' she told DailyMail.com in an interview Williams is looking to oust New Hampshire Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster and will face off against four other Republicans in a primary in September

Lily Tang Williams grew up killing rats for food as she nearly starved in Mao Zedong’s communist China.

And now in the US, she is now running for Congress in New Hampshire as a Republican to prevent America from becoming like the country she worked to escape.

After growing up and getting her law degree in Shanghai, Williams immigrated to the US in 1988, thus beginning what she describes as a ’20-year wake-up process’ to politics.

‘I left China for freedom, but I was really indoctrinated. I did not know China’s real history,’ she told DailyMail.com in an interview. ‘For the first 20 years or so I wasn’t really political. But my husband helped me learn a lot about the US – from foreign language to culture, traditions and history.’

‘He said “you know those 50 or 60 million people starving to death were not due to natural disasters.” We were fed by the Communist Party that natural disasters caused a mass famine,’ she said, referring to the tens of millions of people died as a result of food rationing and the communist takeover of food production in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Williams is looking to oust Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster and will face off against four other Republicans in a primary in September.

Williams’ own experience under Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, designed to root out any remnants of capitalism in China, left her in shock when people tried to tell her she was ‘oppressed’ as a minority in the US.

‘I didn’t even have food coupons, I was starving. I had to try to catch rats in my grandma’s neighborhood. Pretty soon everybody had to catch rats,’ she said. ‘Now in the US they’re trying to tell us “oh you’re oppressed. The white people are demons.” We can’t indoctrinate our kids with that.’

Now, Williams says she is on a target list by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and they’ve threatened her on social media.

‘I had a trip back to China for the Chinese New Year in 2019 but I canceled it. I didn’t want to get disappeared.’

Williams said she ‘truly woke up’ to politics in 2008, around the time of the financial crash when the government bailed out big banks, but she gave up on the Republican Party for a while and became a libertarian.

‘They used taxpayer money to bail out the banks, to say capitalism failed therefore federal government they have to come here and pick and choose because they let one big bank fight bankruptcy then other banks got bailed out.’

‘I was very upset with that. I was upset with the Patriot Act – government infringing on citizens’ privacy without due process in the name of national security, that’s what I heard in China before.’

She said she became worried about the expansion of the federal government in education with Common Core and No Child Left Behind and pulled her kids out of public school for charter school.

‘Parents, lots of them, are still not waking up to what is going on in schools,’ Williams said.

Williams says she was ‘indoctrinated’ in China as the government did not allow dissenting views

‘I call this the Western ‘Cultural Revolution’ – it’s happening in the West to try to destroy the traditional values social norms, habits and different beliefs,’ she went on, ‘in the name of social justice and anti-racism.’

She said she didn’t want schools to go down the path of Chinese education.

‘Parents’ rights don’t exist in China even today, because they truly believe kids belong to the government. They can do whatever to your kids you have no say. Except you have to feed them, you have to house them, you become baby machines. You give government your babies but you cannot make decisions.’

She also railed against the massive influx of migration the U.S. is seeing, with a recent wave of Chinese migrants coming in through the southern border – and warned of what she worried would become a degradation of American culture.

‘Cities use taxpayers money roll the red carpet out when they can’t even house our own homeless population. Our own veterans have no way of making a decent living and no home and you give free hotels, food, travel to people from other countries.’

Williams said her brother and sister-in-law waited 13 years in China to come to the U.S. legally and are still waiting to become American citizens.

‘Biden says he doesn’t have the power – are you kidding me? He had the power to undo all of Trump’s policies on day one in the White House!’

Williams claimed she and her Chinese friends call President Biden and Democrats ‘CCP secretaries in the U.S.’

‘It’s scary stuff, are we going to become collectivist, like a communist country? Individual rights don’t exist, individual privacy doesn’t exist.’

‘Most of those people they want to flee China because  in the last three years it has become very harsh and inhumane,’ she said. ‘In 2012, under Xi Jinping, you notice a shift in China. He is the new Mao, doing Cultural Revolution 2.0.’

She went on: ‘But I’m also very worried is so well organized, correlated, with some sleeper cells … I just feel like we have a really dark force on us. This is a global push for illegal mass migration.’

Williams warned Americans not to underestimate China’s use of ‘soft power’ to infiltrate the U.S. and achieve global dominance.

‘I always try to remind people there’s no true private company in China. No, every company that comes to the United States, they’re state enterprises,’ she said.

‘So when West is a drunk on climate change ideology and the mandates, who benefits? China benefits. We are giving them more money to build their military, soft power, silk road initiative all over Europe, all over world.’

Williams settled with her family in New Hampshire

‘I left China for freedom, but I was really indoctrinated. I did not know China’s real history,’ she told DailyMail.com in an interview. ‘For the first 20 years or so I wasn’t really political. But my husband helped me learn a lot about the US – from foreign language to culture, traditions and history’

‘China controls our debt. If you cannot pay your interest on your loans to China, they’re gonna  take over our ports, they’re gonna take over our cities,’ she went on. ‘They are stationed in Cuba now. They supply our [electric vehicles], compete with American companies because the West, places like California, are trying to ban gas by 2035.’

Williams said she thinks many Americans don’t grasp’ China wants to be the number one dominant power in the globe by 2049. Economically, diplomatically, militarily, also technologically.’

‘They use the Silk Road Onitiative to form alliances with other countries. So they are behind Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Hamas, all those non friendly countries? Yeah, socialist countries in the world. And we are letting them come into our country. More power. More money, more supplies and sell more product,’ she went on.

‘And we are not switching our Chinese policy fast enough.’
