Any improvement is not feasible in China, that is, the vested interest groups as a whole lack the spirit of compromise, and the situation is unforgiving, and it will not end well in the end. Cixi not only harmed the Great Qing Dynasty, but also "the grandson of the dragon son", and even harmed China for a hundred years. Finally, she even carefully built her own grave, which was a paradise for her to continue her life after her death, and she did not avoid being robbed and raised by grave robbers.
China's political civilization is progressing slowly and difficultly. The main reason is that the wisdom of the whole people has not been developed and opened up. We bear the heavy burden of 5,000 years of civilization, arrogance, narcissism and self-defense. But when the door opened and we opened our eyes to see the world, we were deceived, but we were not convinced. There is really nothing to show off. There are four books and five classics, as well as those gymnastics fights wrapped in mysticism, which scare foreigners and deceive ourselves.
The essence of autocracy is to impose one's will on others. In fact, in an authoritarian society, autocratic thought is not unique to the top leaders, but a universal social mentality. Therefore, the transition from autocracy to democracy is not only to change the problems that individuals can solve, but to transform everyone-at least most people-to transform a society. It is naive to think that one or two leaders can be changed or replaced. Therefore, correctly speaking, it was not Empress Dowager Cixi who destroyed the Reform Movement of 1898, but China society.
But in the past 100 years, the last thing those in power wanted to do was to emancipate people's minds. Seeing this, we can understand why China always stumbles along the way. Democracy has become a topic of the century.
Over time, ordinary people only know the secrets of many dissenting Confucian, Hanwu, Kangxi Emperor and their imperial power struggle, and what Dong Fangbubai and Plum Blossom Collection are, but they don't know how to be patriotic and be a citizen with rights. If you want to get rich, be an official or organize a triad society. If you are wronged and have nowhere to take revenge, you will take risks and stab the knife. It is conceivable that talking about democracy and elections on the basis of such popular wisdom may indeed be a bit irrelevant. But who is to blame? Blame the ignorance of the people? Who gave the green light to their ignorance?
Now, this has become an excuse for some people to think that China cannot engage in democracy like some western countries. From the practice of the world, we can really see that democracy will reach what level the people's democratic literacy reaches. It is an inevitable process that countries that embark on the road of democracy at first will inevitably present some confusion at first. Moving towards formal and mature democracy is a challenge for any country. However, ethnic groups that do not accept this challenge may face greater risks in the future.
Without the power of public participation, supervision and authorization, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of the public. Of course, democracy cannot cure all diseases, and countries that practice democracy also have many problems. China also needs to explore its own path and establish its own model to implement democracy, but whether democracy is a good thing or a bad thing should be distinguished.
How many times have western elections been called the most time-wasting elections by China media? It seems good to save money and time in China.
I hope to conduct a nationwide poll: Are you willing to spend money for a fair national election, or are you willing to pay for the corruption of those officials? Would you rather spend your time on a fair national election or on a distant petition? Are members willing to fight in parliament, or are people willing to be killed by urban management in the street?
I think the conclusion speaks for itself. China spends the least money and time on elections, so it will spend more money and time on corruption and oppression. If there is an NPC in China who can only applaud, it will pay a higher price for the hidden social chaos crisis.
