Lai Changxing has broken silence on the recent Internet hype about a blogger implicating to be him writing articles. He denied he has been writing anything online and said he even didn’t know how to type. And he made note that smuggling is illegal but what he did in the past wasn’t smuggling.

When reached at the phone yesterday and asked about whether he’s been blogging, Lai was confused at first and didn’t sound to understand what blog is.

“What are you talking about? Blog? I don’t understand.”

He asked a friend by his side at the time, who explained to him blogging is that people write articles and others leave comments.

“I don’t write any blog. I don’t have any website. I have not written anything. I don’t know where are these come from. That’s strange.”

However, he said he wouldn’t be surprised that people are doing things using his name. “There are lots of people out there posing as me.”

Lai was then very concerned what this blogger has been writing. When told there was a post talking about smuggling being not illegal, he rejected it.

Here’s the translation of part of the original article:

Let me talk about smuggling. My understanding is that smuggling is just to bring the good things from abroad to China. Nobody wants bad things. About a decade or two ago, all that is smuggled are of high quality.

“No. Smuggling is a criminal offence. Breaking the law is breaking the law. How can one say smuggling is not illegal?” He said.

“But what I did before wasn’t smuggling,” he commented. Lai has been saying he was trapped and being politically prosecuted.

Lai added that he’s yet finalizing on a job. “I’m too busy in finding a job. I don’t have spare time to write.”

“I don’t know how to type at all.”

“If I write anything, that would need someone to scan each of word into the computer,” he giggled.
