| What Mr. Wang mentioned in his article is not really the truth. At least I have a friend whose old house had to be dismantled becuase of municipal reconstruction got 1.5million RMB for each family (so her grandma who used to live with her also got 1 million RMB) and her house was not even in downtown Shanghai. Besides, the economic change has tremendously improved most of Chinese life quality. If Mr. Wang denies this, it's really unfair to Chinese government. The political/social/law reform is based on economic development. As long as Chinese government focuses on economic development and education, eventually the reform will touch the political system. Mr. Wang himself took the great benefit from Chinese reform. If he lived in China 20 years ago, it would be impossible for him to live in Shanghai and go abroad or even work for a big foreign company. So I think Mr. Wang really spreaded a wrong information to the world in a very negative way about China. Remember 20 years ago, it was illegal to discuss about this kind of topic privately...We have to admit compared to the past, China is taking a leap on every aspect. As a beneficiary of China, Mr.Wang need to be more responsible for the information he is spreading. |
Shanghai Looks Similar to US, But...
