Chinese Human Rights activist and dissident Wei Jingsheng speaks during an interview with AFP on November 28, 2018 in Fort Washington, Maryland, near Washington DC. - Exiled Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng has lived a good life in the United States for more than 20 years. But the man often called the father of his country's modern democracy movement still welcomes visitors the Chinese way -- by offering them a cigarette. In a lengthy interview with AFP at his home in a Maryland suburb south of the US capital, he lights one for himself -- and starts unleashing harsh criticism of the "one-party dictatorship" in power in Beijing.
