Development Is the Indisputable Truth / 發展才是硬道理

Late Chinese strongman Deng Xiaoping once claimed: "Development is the indisputable truth". This is the root of what had gone wrong since they abandoned Mao's ideological driven policies. Instead of striving to improve people's life on all front, economically, politically, environmental, etc., Deng's theory aimed at the wrong goal. Chinese leaders have been chasing this relentless growth in last thirty years but failed to make sure its citizens benefit the most from such development. The country now has overtaken Japan and became the second largest economy in the word but the country is at the brim of breakdown. The income inequality, the environmental disaster, the corruption, the political prosecution are still rampant. People's life has improved dramatically, particularly those city dwellers, comparing to that in Mao's era but it is not enough.

Their policy actually is not dissimilar to the trickle down policy the Republicans are champion.

Instead of trying to make the quality of life as the goal of national policies, they aim at economy growth itself. Without improving people's life, any economic growth is meaningless.

Their policy only serves stock market and Wall Street.


已故中國強人鄧小平曾稱：“發展才是硬道理。”這是自從他們放棄毛澤東的思想政策後，許多錯誤的根源。不從經濟，政治，環境等各方面努力改善人民生活，鄧小平的理論指向錯誤的目標。中國領導人在過去30年中一直在追逐經濟的增長，但其未能確保其大部分公民從中或益。中國現在已經超過日本，成為第二大經濟體，但他們處於破裂邊緣。收入不平等，環境災難，腐敗，政治控制仍然比比皆是。人民生活，特別是那些城市居民，與在毛時代比有顯著改善，但僅此是不夠的。

他們的政策其實是與共和黨提倡的涓滴政策相同。

不是試圖使提高人民生活質量為目標，他們的的國家政策追求目標是經濟增長本身。如果不改善人民生活，任何經濟增長是沒有意義的。

他們的政策只是對股市和華爾街有利。
