春假跟一德国人吵架，贴上来，有关那个的问题，不想，大家都不感兴趣，是不是因为英文看的太累了？。。:(

今天下午一边啃麦当劳sandwish，一边看电视。偶然听到，CNN报道 trucking strike，也就是卡车司机罢工。突然让我想起来很多事情来....

大国风度
美国在去年的次信贷开始，就开始疯狂贬值，这个大家都知道。这说白了，就是让全球给美国的次信贷买单。有些同学问我为什么，以后有时间简单的写个日志讲讲。。。现在觉得美国这个超级大国，自信满满的国民，有大国心态的国民，但是这个国家却很没有大国的风度，甚者，在这方面做的很差，很没有道德修养。

乱七八糟，仗着自己个子大欺负别个的事情我们就不提了，大家都知道。。捡点别的，贸易逆差，叫的最响的是美国人，别个欧洲也逆差呢，哪有美国人这聒噪。当然，我们的贸易是需要平衡，人民币也需要回归到更适合的位置。看看，中国对一篮子货币，没有升值，反而小幅贬值，对欧元也有小幅贬值。欧洲国家也没有美国这蛮横吧。。现在美国crisis一来，什么不管，直接贬值。完全不把别人放在眼里。先逃命再说。我说，你这个大哥哥的，做事也要给弟弟妹妹做个榜样吧。。。。前几天，gk的日志，说现在的情况，贬值和recession，美国选一个。(实在找不到原日志了，这个链接里一篇也扯了大致的内容)  回想中国在这种时候是怎么做的。

我们的总理总是喜欢对国际问题时说一句话：我们是一个负责任的国家。我很喜欢这句话。我们在国家的层面上，很有风度，这个自古以来就有。同样是马六甲，郑和下西洋的时候，是为了扬国威。而西方人来了，就是侵略。东亚经济危机，朱总理说了人民币不贬值。美国，印度尼西亚遭灾了，能帮的我们也都帮一下。。

中国的国民没有大国心态，中国的国民面临道德危机。 我都同意。确实，西方国家，因为宗教的帮助，让所有的common people都学会善待他人，donate，负起一些社会责任。这是宗教教他们的，很好，宗教帮了不少的忙。而，中国没有宗教，相比之下中国的国民普遍上道德没有这样的约束。中国国民缺乏大国心态，可能是由于近几百年，国家受苦太多，让很多人敏感，狭隘。但是，我喜欢从多个角度看这个大国心态的问题。"中国的国民" 在风度上输给"西方国民"的同时（我是指普遍情况），"中国的国家"却远远比"西方的国家"更有风度，更有大国的风范。其实，一个国家的风度，很多方面是由国家领导人，和国家最上层决策团体表现出来的。从道德角度和能力上来看，我们的政府比西方很多政府优秀的多。有人可能说中国人自古以来都爱面子，不管怎么说，，我还是为我们国家的大国风范感到自豪。

石油高涨，美元大贬
走题了，回来strike。这个牵扯到两个事情：油价上涨，美元贬值。现在不少发展中国家的经济发展，对能源的需求居高不下，然油价节节攀升。对于，美国和中国，都不太好。不多说，油价110+ USD..*_*

电视频道
看到CNN，我突然想起我们国家的电视台，现在国内的电视台也是越来越多。我很喜欢看很多CCTV和凤凰做的节目，确实非常有质量，很多节目比美国的节目要做的好，很不错~~不过，可惜的是很少看到有CNN和NBC这样，freely的谈论各种事情，比如次信贷危机，纽约州长性丑闻，obama的 pastor，hillary的广告什么都可以谈，把最热点的问题拿出来谈。中国的电视台很努力，做的也很不错，但是想象一下如果有这样一个电视台，把最热点的问题，比如房价，汇率，物价，股市，华为trying并购3COM，国企改革，这些所有的问题拿出来谈谈。。那会将会非常有意思，而我则会是头号观众~~:P  期待~~有没有那位代表或者政协委员给我提提这个议案啊~~|o|

三天两头overnight，每周3-4 due.....@_@...死人，周末anai去听音乐会...我连剪头发的时间都没有，牛师傅说我的发型已经成蘑菇了。后面一个月直到期末都是这样了。可能期末会稍微轻松一点点。ps..这里平时任务太多了，国内的时候一个project紧张进行，这里是4个project一起进行，还有不停的考试和作业！！以至于，期末考试期间随着课程相继结束会轻松一点点。

I am intensely debating on one friend's blog with some one, about Tibet issue. I am sorry that making a mess up on his page, since I am really easily exasperated.. me young people, you know, don't blame me..:P

before you beginning reading my harangue, please visit my friend's blog,
click here: http://blog.linnil.info/, finish all the comments, then you get what's going on... I am always too lazy to post my original log about some issue, instead, often stimulated by debating with others and finally write a long paper..

If you still interested in Tibet issue, here are some links recommended, not too long, don't worry:

Tibet: Not an issue of Good versus Evil

Report by an anonymous tourist in Lhasa

Photos from Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China

enjoy it!!!

I am sorry I overacted, since some of your words like “why not letting tibetian living back in slavery”, “Because of the communistic idea, which people once had?” too extreme which reminds me something provoking me.

“As far as I can see you are quoting exclusively from CCTV reports.”
updated information is not the only point. when we talking about some issue, we not only need to see what’s happening but also need to know what HAPPENED before and we finally get why this happening now. China is not as democratic as developed country, and the way china government doing is not highly democratic, let’s go through some of modern history of China, so that we know what’s going on..

If you pay more attention to just-ended “The political session: two national meetings”, you will find democracy in China, that’s very interesting. This is anual highest political meeting held in Beijing in spring season, made up of the Chinese People’s Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress. You might easily find lots of information about this two national meetings through internet. It’s difficult to explain the whole system, but simply: All goven officials, scientists, socialists and people representatives gather together and discuss most issues happening in China. Actually most of the big decisions are discussed by these two national meetings, for example: approval or not of “Three Gorges Dam”, which was once intensely debated among top top Environmentalists, sociologist and economists. I don’t know if the issue “is it good time to lift of the ban of internet?” is discussed in two meetings, but I guess it should be, at least some guy in two meetings might mention about it. some representative from Yunnan province refered to the high cost of cellphone fee, mobile fee has already downgraded to lower level. My little brother’s girlfriend’s father is working in health administration field, so I get lots of interesting informations about health reform. Right now one of most important point in the two meetings is to improve health insurance especially in rural area. since right now there has 0.9 billion people uncovered in health insurance, most of them are from rural population. I don’t want to go to all the details about this, since it’s too much and cost time to write it. But simply let you know, the point of the two meetings this year is “the people’s livelihood”, especially rural people who makeup the most part of poor people in China. Almost every issues about poor people ,about high-rise buildings will be discussed, our representatives and Consultative Conference members perform the similar role as senators in America. There is no dictator goerning in china government.

China premiers are always very personal charming, especially recent two term: Wen and Zhu, and also the first premier Zhou. I like to mention that in premier news conference, our premier Wen refered to American history to respond when american jounalist aggressively asked, and refered to indian ancient poem to answer indian jounalist, and often used China ancient words definitely displeasing translator.. I pay much attention to two meetings, especially premier news conference. When I was young, I used to think that two meetings has no meanings but only broadcasting politics and strengthen politics control. But after I studying some economics, pay attention to social and politics issues, I changed minds, when I want to know what china government will emphasis on next year, I find lots of information from two meetings. Also, I know well some one attending two meetings, so I get lots of answers that what happening inside. It’s really interesting. my brother staying in China right now, he listens to radio these days, and he also tell lots of information in the interview with representatives. So, I say, anyone even Chinese people, who didn’t read lots of books didn’t study economics politcs social issues, will not understanding what’s going on in China in our government. I love my country, I have no reason to like a government, but our government really did a good job. look what they bring to china these 30 years, it’s amazing! Happily, I like to tell you that most of leaders in the highest position are good. At least Hu and Wen is good. but it’s problem that how to guarantee each term we get good leader in highest position like hu wen? That’s truly big trouble. I don’t want to argue about the former leaders in China, but at least some of them contribute to our country, and make china more and more prosperous.

I read a article from an economics phd in harvard, he said most of his articles blamed chinese government taking wrong measures or something else, but he should admit that chinese government did a really job, if let he grade it, he give 90+. he also think chinese government should be put in first 10% among all the government in this world, compared to every country in history and compare to other countries with same “Per capita income” level. rethink it, isn’t it? you don't believe my words, listen to words from smartest people with rich related knowledge.

“where did it get more democratic?”
as you asked, as I mentioned above, it’s only tiny part of democracy in China. If you need to know more, as I said, I need to write a book to talk about it. If you really want to get to know democracy in China, take time, apply some master degree program in field of “China democracy” to study it. One or two years you will get it. I am not kidding, I live in China for how many years and finally make me partly know some of China politics and social issues. democracy in China is improving and all smart people are working hard on it, it exists regardless of whether you know about it.

On the other hand, we agree that our democracy progress doesn’t keep pace with economics progress, many socialists raise this issue. But it’s not easy to say, “right now we improve democracy faster!” For example: Some people in government think that making our country much more open right now might cause unexpected turmoil, and that’s not good, since at current stage we need to focus on economics development, turmoil is not what we want. tai-independence and Dalai group is waiting for chance, some western countries are really not friendly, as you know, some western country enjoy invading if you are not strong. In this situation, different people in government and top socialists and economists in think tank hold different opinions, and they are always debating. You can not feel, but it is happening inside, intensely, democracy.

recommend a article, if you can’t read chinese, click the blue chinese character “英” laying on the right side to the big title.
http://chinese.wsj.com/gb/20080318/chw132409.asp?source=mostpopular1

cultural revolution is history.. different people different opinions. Right now all the people in government agree that’s a mistake. And what happened inside communist party’s highest position during cultural revolution, and why this event happened, there are lots of books talk about it. it’s interesting. finally, our government learn the lessons form C revolution, that’s how our government improve themselves.

I always mention “government”, not “communist party”, since, acturally, in my personal opinion, Single party in China now actually means no party in China. “Party” has preference, like conservative or progressive. but single party in China, has both conservative and progressive opinions inside our party, actually we have no party, we only have signle government. the government’s goal is to improve people’s life, nothing else, we don’t care ism. we only care people’s life and country strongness.

“But tell me, what are the good reasons nowadays to suppress critics and information within the society?”
government don’t suppress critics right now. there are lots of critics voices actually, if you read chinese, you will feel it. actually it’s not “lots”, is “too much” to some degree, some of critics come from nowhere with no evidence. what government don’t want is “radical critics” with no good effect, some of people in government think it might cause turmoil, as I mentioned above. Once again, this situation will change, government is considering. years later I believe you will see the change, might be surprising.

Another thing, I want to simply talk about six four event, which is 1 9 8 9 tian~ event. (please don’t type the word directly, it might cause this blog blocked from mainland)
there are some videos about that event on internet, I watched some, it will help you understand more. Story began like this: government thought it should let people to have more democracy and let them freely talk about disadvantage of government. and then it happened, like you said, democracy, freely talk any bad thing about government, it truly happend during several years before 1 9 8 9. I have a very interesting television show about china which is produced by official TV station, and this TV show is broadcasting bad thing in china culture and our current situation, many reflection thoughts, which is not gonna be permitted to on screen at current years. This is what was like in that years.
A big country, can not be totally democratic in one or two years, we need several decades to change. some thing become democratic but some not, then some people begin to ask more democratic rights. That’s good thing, government think voices from people should be considered. Students are very radical, as you know, young people. Some of them begin organize parade to ask for more democracy. The first time, although they are kids knowing nothing but naive ideas, government approval their request. This parade ends with full confidence among students. But before that there was a leading article saying they are radicals and reactionary. leaders of students worried about that, and asked government to call back the article. government didn’t respond,, actually it’s nothing big.. These student leaders started another much bigger parade, and have students living in tian square to protest. this protest lasted around two weeks, it was mess up in square. government had really much patient to talk to students at beginning. Although these students are ignorant and naive, government still hold a meeting talk to sutdent leaders…….I cann’t believe this..government talk to students. these students know nothing, it’s really big joke. actually at that time, all the cctv channels support students, so you can tell it was really very open that years. But sutdents didn’t want to leave whatever government did or said.. actually these students even didn’t know what they want to accomplish, they just stay and stay and call slogan again and again.
The situation was getting worse, some of protestors in square killed police or soldiers, they hang dead body in the square.
Did western protestors ever did this?
Another bad thing, people in government are intensely debating, some conservative people who think this is not protest but rebellion, this opinion advocates use military to dispel. And another opinion advocates peaceful settlement. When killing happened, conservative force get stronger hand inside government. One day before military operated, some of people in government has already lost position in government, they came to square trying to persuade students to leave. Before military use force, loudspeaker was broadcasting many times to warn anyone in square to leave, government will not hesitate to dispel crowd. Finally military shot some one confront military, to dispel people. It was not massacre. But you could imagine, when armyman’s brother were killed by these protestors, I don’t think armyman would be any patient to these protestors. some protestors staying in the centre of square were finally safely sent back home, fortunately they never confront military, and so didn’t get hurt.

Ok, over.. So, when protestor use force or kill people, China government is very sensitive about that. Some of people in government think we need to control this, so that our country could peacefully focus on economics development. I partly agree, China needs economics development more than democracy at current stage. But I also think we need to change ways to deal with this stuff, our democracy progress is too slow.

you asked , why not right now democracy why not let press into tibet.
Answer: some of people in government are conservative, some are not, they are debating. So, I said, it will change, we expect.

You advocate democracy. democracy is not always the best choice. Actually totally democracy is the worst thing and not possible. I want to introduce another article about this issue, but it’s chinese and didn’t find any translation version: Democracy is the result, not reason. For example, American society is highly developed but which is not because of highly democracy. Because American is developed, so it is highly democratic. On ther words, high level democracy is not appropriate for low level society. China can not carry too high democracy, since our society is not well developed.

The biggest anxious is that many countries in this world are not friendly, and many people don’t have tolerate heart. I want to ask again, what’s this related to Olympics?

Once again, you want to see highly democracy in China? we too, please give her some time. Thanks.

美国民主最大的笑话就是 少数服从多数。

大家都知道，聪敏人永远是少数。让决策由大多数人来决定。。公共政策该如何展开，在美国这种猪脑多的国家，还少数服从多数。。

美国最骄傲的民主是最大的笑话。

正在复习mid term，突然想起小时候跟米弟两个人在幼儿园的什么元旦联欢会上表演诗歌朗诵节目，“西游记”。现在想起来，突然可以感觉那个时候，妈妈多么细心的培养我们，可惜，我们弟兄两始终不擅长在众人面前表演才艺。我能够记得的是，在家里练的很好，但是一上场，几乎就不记得什么了，跟米弟两个人反正就一直念，到后来顺利念完了没有，也记不起来了，，回去问问妈妈~~~
