Li，Ruqiang: Focus on doing big things or doing bad things
李汝强（Li，Ruqiang）
Concentrate on big things, or concentrate on bad things In order to fight the new coronavirus, Wuhan has built a special hospital-Huoshenshan Hospital. This hospital with a construction area of more than 30,000 square meters was completed and put into use in just 9 days, which attracted a lot of praise: We have the system advantage of "concentrating our strength to do major things".
The official media will naturally not let go of this good theme praising the system. The people also believe more in China＇s system advantages, and many experts and scholars have theoretically demonstrated the wonderful system under the leadership of the Communist Party. For example, a professor of economics wrote in the article "Concentration of strength to do great things": “Concentrating strength to do great things is a prominent feature of the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. It is our only way to overcome various major risks and challenges. The magic weapon is a powerful driving force for the Chinese nation to achieve a historic leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, and it has unparalleled superiority.” The doctoral tutor also cited many examples of “concentrating power to do great things”. Such as: Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, expressway network, South-to-North Water Diversion, etc. (As for how many of these "major events" are a disaster for the country and the people, let us leave it alone).
Finally, the professor and vice-president’s expert emphasized: “The leadership of the party is the fundamental political guarantee for concentrating efforts on major issues and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Our party serves the people wholeheartedly and establishes the party for the public. Governing for the people, always taking the interests of the people as the starting point and goal of one＇s work, won the support of the people, and laid a solid mass foundation for concentrating forces on major issues. The leadership of the party is the fundamental advantage of the socialist system of concentrating forces on major issues. The source is the fundamental political guarantee for concentrating efforts on major events."
Autocratic regimes and “fixed to one” do have “advantages” that a democratic regime does not have. That is: it does not need procrastinating democratic deliberations and repeated scientific arguments, especially without having to look back and forth and consider the wishes of voters. He wants to do anything. With an order, the mountains whistle and the tsunami, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, the power is concentrated, the effect is amazing, and it can be done in a very short period of time to "shock the world (bad) thing."
As for the speed of construction that people are most proud of (such as the highway network that the professor admired, the Three Gorges water conservancy project, etc.), what I want to say is that people have thought about this speed and what this power is built on. ? Does the democratic system dare to demolish houses? Dare to force the immigration of millions? Do you dare to ignore the life and death of the workers and force them to work day and night to catch up? Among the current polities in the world, dictatorship is the worst polity. Although it can do great things with one call, it can concentrate more on doing bad things.
Such bad things can cause millions of people to fall to the ground (such as the Land Reform and the Cultural Revolution), and can bring the national economy to the brink of collapse (such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution).
Finally, I would like to ask those media, experts, and people who have borrowed from Huoshenshan Hospital to praise the "system advantage": why the Wuhan coronavirus has been able to "concentrate power" to break out and harm the country and the world. Is there any system in it? s reason? If so, what is the system? Is the system an advantage or a disadvantage?
