“Occupy Wall Street” lost focus, Huntsman made a mistake, Lang Xianping broke his promise, and Kong Qingdong lost his composure
”Occupy Wall Street” is like a headless fly, symbolically venting its helplessness to the beneficiaries of systemic corruption. Since the "Occupy Wall Street" movement broke out on September 17, the movement has lasted for two full months. Despite bloody clearings in many places, the Occupy movement has gained strength and strength. It has spread from New York to more than 100 cities, from urban areas to ports, to university campuses, and back to Wall Street. On November 17, exactly two months after the movement began, thousands of Wall Street protesters shouted slogans to shut down Wall Street. However, the "Occupy Wall Street" movement in the United States gives people the impression of being like a headless fly, hitting here and there with a hammer and a stick. Too many demands mean that they lose their demands. The key to the movement losing focus is because people feel social injustice, but fail to see the root causes of social injustice and get to the essence of the problem. 1. Why Americans can’t live with Wall Street. During the 2008 financial crisis, many corporate executives brought down their companies, but it did not affect their personal income. Including severance pay for those executives who resigned due to poor management, their annual income exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars. According to a report by Le Monde on August 31, 2011, among the 100 highest-paid chief executive officers (CEOs) in the United States, 25 last year's salary exceeded the tax amount of their company. The average annual income of U.S. CEOs has risen from less than 50 times the average annual income of ordinary workers in the 1960s to about 350 times now. This kind of predatory unfair distribution, or reasonable and legal corruption, is probably the envy of any corrupt official in the world. Yes, if you can corrupt legally, who wants to be afraid of being corrupt secretly? The American people's struggle with Wall Street is not going to change overnight. On the one hand, the unemployment rate in the United States remains high, and many families are in trouble and unable to survive; on the other hand, the richest people in the United States have no worries. They control assets that are "too big to afford to fail." No matter how bad the economy is, the country will take care of it. The richest 1% of the population in the United States owns 35% of the net wealth of the entire society, while the low- and middle-income groups, which account for 80% of the population, only own 15% of the net wealth of the society. Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the proportion of social wealth owned by the richest people in the United States has not only not declined, but has actually increased. There is a revolving door in American politics and business, and talents from both sides can easily switch to each other. U.S. government officials themselves are not as incorruptible as Chinese media elites describe, and they all fly economy class. Let’s look at an old news item about Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives: “In the past two years, Nancy Pelosi’s gourmet services such as chocolate-covered strawberries cost the country $100,000 during her round-trip travel on an Air Force plane. In this 2,000-page bill, during her tenure as Speaker, Pelosi traveled to Congress 103 times by military aircraft and brought her own family 31 times. The food and wine listed on one of the bills was enough to host a large student party. Fitton, the head of the organization, said: Although the media has repeatedly bombarded Pelosi for abusing Air Force aircraft, she still uses the Air Force as her own private travel service agency." In fact, Americans' arrogance and extravagance are the role models that the world's rich and corrupt officials look up to. In 2008, Wall Street financial giants even used the country's relief funds to give themselves bonuses and red envelopes, leading a luxurious and luxurious life. Troubled Bank of America handed out $3.6 billion in year-end bonuses to its nearly 700 managers. The Obama administration has expressed outrage over the $165 million in bonuses handed out by embattled American International Group (AIG), but it also acknowledged that despite a massive federal bailout of the insurance giant, it was unable to stop the bonuses. What causes this huge sense of helplessness from ordinary people to the president?
2. The gorgeous democratic system of the United States conceals the nature of systemic exploitation. The oppression of 99% of the population by 1% of the population in the United States is based on liberal democracy and the legal system. It is the government chosen by the people that puts layers of shackles on their necks. This legal and corrupt system in the United States was established by a government elected by the people one by one. Who is to blame? When people vent their anger on the beneficiaries of those systems, they fail to reflect on the shortcomings of the current democratic system.
The grassroots people in the United States have long lived in the dark corners of the glamorous paradise. When the economy is good, although the society is unfair, everyone has food and clothing, and lives in peace. When the economy is shrouded in the shadow of recession for a long time, ordinary people are the first to be harmed. The United States is a country where food is scarce and consumption is high. From the government to individual families, everyone relies on borrowing to live, and individuals rarely save. Once a family loses its job and loses its source of income, it is faced with high living expenses such as mortgages, car loans, property taxes, water and electricity bills, medical insurance, tuition fees, gasoline, etc., and life immediately falls into trouble. Although the U.S. government’s temporary unemployment benefits can make ends meet, if you cannot find a job for a long time, once the government’s unemployment benefits exceed the time limit, you will be faced with being unable to pay loans and various taxes, which will eventually lead to family bankruptcy. People in many parts of the world may not understand, how can living in a bungalow and driving a car be called poverty? In fact, this is the crux of the problem. In developing countries, ordinary unemployed people can live without much expense. This is different in the United States. Houses and cars are bought with loans. Due to scattered residences and underdeveloped public transportation, many people cannot even guarantee a basic life without cars. Independent houses built in open fields may freeze to death in winter without sufficient energy. In the United States, the richest country in the world, the contradiction of unfair social distribution has become more acute in the long-term sluggish economic environment after the 2008 financial crisis. Rebellion is not exclusive to poor countries, and American people will rise up if they are forced to do nothing. What is strange is that financial elites like Lang Xianping who are studying in the United States avoid talking about the obvious social problems and their root causes in the United States, but they exaggerate the perfection of the American system everywhere in China. Take a look at Lang Xianping's speech at Tsinghua University, http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjg3Njk5ODA=.html On the one hand, he quoted scriptures and described the current American society as being like paradise; on the other hand, he described China's 30 years of reforms as useless. What on earth is Lang Xianping going to do? Former U.S. Ambassador to China Huntsman, who recently left office and returned to China to participate in the presidential election, and has been fighting on the front line of the "fight against the enemy" accidentally made a statement about the U.S. national strategy that can be done or not said. http://bbs.wforum.com/guns/bbsviewer.php?trd_id=149234 On November 15, he said during the presidential campaign: There is no need for the United States to fight a trade war with China. The United States must rely on "our allies and supporters within China" to bring down China. Only when China falls will the United States have the opportunity to regain its manufacturing industry.
Against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, the world is generally optimistic and envious of China, but within China there is an inexplicable and widespread defeatist sentiment unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Is this just a sentiment fostered by rising prices and housing, and the long-term failure to effectively curb corruption? Huntsman's above-mentioned debate bluntly told those presidential candidates who do not understand diplomacy and US national strategy that they do not know how to deal with China. To bring down China does not rely on trade wars, currency wars, cold wars, or hot wars, but on 500 million young Internet users. If the host hadn't interrupted Huntsman's speech, Huntsman wouldn't have been able to show off his China expertise. Huntsman's confession is not only an affirmation of his work in China, but also a commendation to everyone, big and small. When the United States falls into the quagmire of systemic injustice and finds it difficult to extricate itself from structural imbalances in industry, all the United States can do is to make its allies worse off than itself and to let its enemies die. Wave after wave of financial crises in the Eurozone are inseparable from the shadow of the United States causing harm, and the top competitor identified by the United States will definitely be put to death quickly. Most of the important diplomatic activities of the United States in 2011 were to mobilize all available forces to deal with China under the banner of returning to Asia. It provokes China's neighboring countries to besiege China, and never forgets to force the RMB to appreciate on various international occasions. What is particularly important is that it spends huge efforts to cultivate "allies and supporters" among China and overseas Chinese at all costs, and disrupts China from within. The purpose of the United States is what Obama said: "The United States will never be the second best." As long as China and Europe are in disarray, the United States will achieve its goal of defeating others without a fight. Only by dividing Europe and China and turning the world into a fragmented and ununited small country, except the United States, can the United States forever maintain its position as the world's leader. One day, China is overthrown, and the United States retains its position as the world leader. Lang Xianping and others, you are indispensable! In fact, the scary thing is not that there are a few Lang Xianpings in China. What is scary is that the "party mouthpiece" Xinhua News Agency actually reported Huntsman's above remarks like this: "Former US Ambassador to China Huntsman criticized US politicians for inciting anti-China sentiment": http://news.sina.com.cn/w/2011-11-16/093723474477.shtml. I really don’t know how the editors and directors of Xinhua News Agency came to this conclusion from Huntsman’s few words. Many media elites in China: You are not Lang Xianping, who has a family and business in the United States, and you are not an American citizen. Do you know what you are doing?
