Why do people still want to stay in the United States, which has so many problems? ——They are not willing to follow the example of some elites in our society who get American green cards and make a lot of money at home. They do not understand the ideological status of the Chinese in the United States!

Today I met some Chinese from a university in California. They said they were participating in protests. On the one hand, students' tuition fees were rising, but on the other hand, faculty salaries remained unchanged. Therefore, the Chinese were also actively participating. I said that domestic universities are among the highest paying institutions, so why don’t you go back? You must know that you returnees from overseas are very popular, and your income may be higher than that in the United States.
They say that although the United States has many problems, it is an equal society; therefore, there is no need to worry about unfairness in the United States, and even protests are fair. However, domestic society is about relationships. Without relationships, there is no fairness; as for those who get American green cards and then return to China to make money, they are definitely speculators. Because I have connections at home, I return to my country to make a lot of money; if things are not going well at home, I will come to the United States immediately. And those of us who have no connections are still willing to stay in the United States and live according to our own abilities; because we do not want to return to a society where our destiny is dictated by others. Because of this, those who return home are speculators; those who stay in the United States are those who want to survive by their own abilities.
If we look at the protests, China is definitely the most stable society in the world; because there are no parades here, let alone protests; it is a harmonious society. However, the United States is different. There are protests everywhere; this shows that the United States has more problems than China. If there were no problems, could so many people protest? However, we Chinese in the United States are incredible. They are just unwilling to return to a harmonious China; instead, they are trying every possible means to stay in the United States. This seems very illogical. Why don't the Chinese want to do well?
>Yes! Those who come back from the United States are basically the elite of our society, and their high incomes are beyond the reach of us ordinary people. However, these people are not willing to give up their green cards in the United States, as if this is their destination. Before I came to the United States, I didn't understand how these people were thinking. Now when I listen to the Chinese in the United States, I realize that these people are speculators; they will go wherever their interests are greatest. They get American green cards because they see the stable system in the United States, and when they return to their country to make money, they see the domestic rights system; they use this principle to maximize their own interests.
In today's social survival principles, ability should be the first element. However, our society is just the opposite. Ability is not a principle. Because we are a society in which leaders determine our destiny. If the leader wants you to get rich, you will get rich; if the leader wants you to be promoted, you will be promoted. It does not depend on your actual ability, because ability is also assessed by the leader. Because of this, in our society, those who are capable but have a bad relationship with leaders are actually placed in a separate register; for example, being laid off and eliminated from the bottom position in our society are actually the prerogatives of leaders. Because of this, people who have the ability to go abroad don't want to return to China; because people with strong ability happen to be people who don't know how to have relationships. Why are many Chinese people willing to stay in the American society with many problems, but are unwilling to return to the harmonious and problem-free Chinese society? The main reason is because survival does not rely on ability, which is the most terrifying thing. People who return to China are just the opposite. They have connections and have no confidence in their own abilities, so they also want a US green card, but they want to return to China for development.
I met the most Indians here and asked them if they would like to return to China? No one wants to go back. Because there is no big money-making phenomenon in India like China, their income in the United States is definitely higher than at home. Therefore, Indians study to go abroad, and go abroad for a green card. This is their common goal, so there is no taboo.
It is difficult for people to understand why the United States, which has many problems, is the society that people long for. However, the actual quality of life tells people that people's choice is right. Is this a problem with people's ideas or a problem with our social concepts? Anyway, it is unconventional thinking. However, real life is real, and the choice to stay in the United States is still the right one; this is why people are rushing to the United States, because this is still a society based on ability as the survival principle; so capable talents are doing everything possible to stay in the United States.
Why does the United States have so many problems? It turns out that the United States is a society where everyone asks questions. Although Americans do not have any opinions among themselves, they have a common language on social problems. So the problem in the United States is obvious because its procedures for solving the problem are complicated. Because of this, America has many problems but people still like it; this is America and Americans today.
