Chapter 197: The World Is So Big!
In 1982, the third national population census was carried out, and on July 1, 1982, it was announced to the world that the population of Shenzhou had exceeded 1 billion, with a total population of 1,08.17 million.
The land of China became the first country in human history with a population of more than one billion.
It also made headlines in the newspapers of the United States imperialism, and now that the country is opening up, it means unlimited business opportunities in the future.
American imperialism, Zhang Xingxing and Zhao Gaohong live like a young couple, in the United States, their days are very nourishing, and the quality of life of rich in American imperialism is very high, in this era, there are many things in China yet, but American imperialism has them.
Zhang is happy to enjoy life in the United States and do what he likes with the people he likes, and he is very happy.
First of all, Zhang Xingxing took Zhao Gaohong to a lot of American imperialist tourist attractions on weekends and holidays.
The world is so big, I want to go and see, I didn't have a chance in my previous life, Zhang Xingxing has money and opportunities in this life, so naturally I don't miss the opportunity to broaden my horizons.
People, after staying in one place for a long time, will think that what they see in front of them is the whole world.
In his previous life, Zhang Xingxing thought that Dongyang County and Xiyang County, the two places where he lived and worked, were his whole world, and he read a lot of newspapers late before he knew that the world was so big, so he wanted to make money in this life, walk around, take a look, and let his thinking and mind be broadened.
They went to Yellowstone, the world's first national park, where huge herds of bison, elk, thousands of boiling springs, hundreds of geysers spewed boiling water, steaming, like inverted waterfalls, gushing out from time to time from the fiery and dark underground world, and some geysers were majestic like towering trees.
Visit Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps in the western United States, the magnificent Grand Canyon of Colorado, San Francisco, the modern city of Los Angeles and San Diego.
Visit Niagara Falls in the eastern United States, warm and splendid Florida, Orlando, the world's number one theme park city, and Miami, a romantic and exotic city.
Zhang Xingxing's only displeasure with US imperialism is safety.
Along the way he watched some local newspapers and TV.
Although I brought my own bodyguards, but the US imperialist news reports on the shooting case or something for you from time to time, so you can not be panicked, but looking at those US imperialists, Zhang Xingxing feels that their hearts are strong, and they seem to be accustomed to it.
U.S. imperialism is a country that allows citizens to generally and legally hold guns, but of course guns are banned on many occasions, for example, you can't take a gun to the street, you can only put it at home or in a designated place, or on any hunting occasion, but there are always "dangerous" elements who will not comply, after all, a country as big as U.S. imperialism has a population of 230 million people, and it is also a superpopulous country...... When the forest is big, there are naturally all kinds of birds.
"You say that those things come out every day, is the US imperialist government blind, why is it not banning guns?"
Zhang Xingxing didn't understand why the US imperialists were allowed to hold guns, as for the Chinese folks, it was because the US imperialist gun businessmen lobbied the Congress to sponsor something, Zhang Xingxing didn't believe in that thing, in the US imperialist businessmen have ability, but they definitely don't have that much power, these days, he accompanied Zhao Gaohong at Princeton University, and he read some books about the US imperialism when he had nothing to do.
He seems to have found the real reason.
The reason why the U.S. imperialists allowed guns originated from the American Revolutionary War, which made their citizens generally have the right to bear arms written into the Constitution, with the purpose of ensuring that the power of the government comes from the people, ensuring that the power of the state comes from the people and the states that make up the country, preventing the emergence of a strong centralized power, preventing foreign invasion, preventing the emergence of power autocracy, preventing the emergence of military dictatorship, preventing the emergence of oligarchy, guaranteeing state autonomy, guaranteeing freedom of thought and speech, freedom of religious belief, freedom of the press and publication, freedom of assembly and association, and free elections.
The U.S. imperialists believe that the widespread right to hold guns can make this country possible for a long time, and the U.S. imperialists have been established for more than 200 years, and it is true that there has been no dictatorship, no military dictatorship, no oligarchy, and a government with elite monopoly, no unlimited power, and no unlimited centralization, making the United States the most stable country without civil war and civil strife for 200 years.
This kind of thinking of the American imperialists makes their response to all kinds of street, school, and company shootings and tragedies insignificant compared to the destruction of the people by autocracy, military dictatorship, and domestic melee.
Of course, they also personally believe that gangsters do evil, and bad people do evil without guns to resist, and it is a terrible thing to have a gun to resist in the chaos of a gun, and the chaos with guns is more harmful than the emergence of a government that is autocratic and corrupt, autocratic and belligerent, overjoyed, tyrannical, tyrannical, hooligan and scoundrel, and a government that is corrupted by corrupt officials, hooligans, bullies, liars, ruffians, royal literati, profiteers, and high-ranking rotten people who do whatever they want is more harmful than some law-abiding people。
Therefore, the American imperialists regard guns as their weapons of self-defense and self-preservation, and they see that when an unarmed people face an invader with guns and an autocratic and corrupt ruler, it is like a sheep facing a ferocious wolf.
The logic of the American imperialists is that in a society, the vast majority of 99% of the people are good people, but they do not have the right to hold guns, when 1% of the people monopolize the right to hold guns, there is a mischief, this society pays a heavy price for this, in their view, in a society, 99% of the people do not have the right to hold guns, only 1% of the people have the right to hold guns, and 99% of the people's lives and dignity depend on the consciousness and conscience of 1% of the people, which is not safe, they think that the majority of the 99% have guns in their hands, 1% The bad guys want to behave nonsense, and the guns in the hands of the majority of the 99% of the people have to be considered.
With 200 years of practice, US imperialism has been constantly discussing and arguing about whether to ban guns.
All kinds of noise.
Some people advocate the relinquishment of this power, and some people advocate that the people should not trust and rely on the government excessively, because the government is made of people, and guns cause less than one-tenth of the annual traffic accident deaths.
So the American imperialists have always retained this power.
Since the founding of the United States, they have occupied the land of the Indians, and they have no sense of security without guns, and then they have changed into weapons that bind a small number of people in the country, and this culture is completely different from the Chinese culture......
Zhang Xingxing was not particularly interested in these things before, and he is not very interested now, he is just a businessman, as long as the world is peaceful and there is a stable business environment, but different cultures are also to be considered, because doing business in a country, you don't consider the culture of the country, know the policies of the country, business will definitely be difficult to do, and even difficult to move an inch.
