Seeing Lu Xiaobin fall into deep thought, Li Tianyi didn't bother, just stood silently beside him, waiting quietly.

At this time, the woman's cell phone rang, and she quickly answered the call.

Lu Xiaobin saw the excited and happy look of the woman when she answered the phone, and at that moment, he seemed to have a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Subsequently, Lu Xiaobin followed Li Tianyi around the town aimlessly for more than two hours before getting into the car.

After getting on the bus, Lu Xiaobin asked, "Li Tianyi, where are we going next?"

Li Tianyi said: "Go to Zhuhai and visit the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. ”

Lu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment, and asked in some surprise: "Why do you want to visit the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?"

Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you after you finish visiting." ”

The plane shuttled in the air, and a few hours later came to Zhuhai, Li Tianyi finally found a sightseeing bus after coordinating the resources of all parties, and the two took the sightseeing bus, from Zhuhai, to Macau and Hong Kong.

While visiting, Li Tianyi introduced: "The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a super-large cross-sea passage connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, with a total length of 55 kilometers, of which the main project "bridge and tunnel in the sea" is 35.578 kilometers long, and the undersea tunnel is about 6.75 kilometers long, which will become the world's longest sea-crossing bridge after completion. At the same time, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is part of the G4-Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and G94-Pearl River Delta Ring Expressway in the national highway network.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Immersed Tunnel is the world's longest highway immersed tunnel and the world's only deep-buried immersed tunnel, with a series of innovations in production and installation technology, providing a unique sample of the world's undersea tunnel engineering technology. ”

If Lu Xiaobin's visit to Loess Town made him start to rethink and redefine the concept of poverty, then at this moment, when he visited the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, his eyes were full of intense shock.

Subsequently, Li Tianyi took Lu Xiaobin to visit the Three Gorges Dam and the FAST telescope in Guizhou.

After watching these three masterpieces, Lu Xiaobin fell into silence again, and from beginning to end, Li Tianyi did not tell him why he wanted to take him to visit these three places.

On the Fuxing high-speed train to Nanjing, Lu Xiaobin couldn't hold his breath anymore, he looked at Li Tianyi and asked, "Li Tianyi, why did you take me to visit these three places?"

Li Tianyi did not rush to answer Lu Xiaobin's question, but asked rhetorically: "Lu Xiaobin, do you think that in the current United States, there will be such a project?"

Lu Xiaobin fell into thinking again, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head and said: "Such a large-scale project is almost impossible in the United States, because the American political system determines that such a project cannot be carried out smoothly. ”

Li Tianyi smiled and asked, "So, do you know why such projects have appeared one after another in our Huaxia?"

Lu Xiaobin shook his head and said, "I'm also curious about this, why is it? India is not much worse than you Huaxia in terms of population, and they also spend a lot of money when buying arms, why don't they have such a project?"

Li Tianyi said with a smile: "This is because we have a socialist system with Chinese characteristics, which is fundamental, and our decision-making mechanism in China can ensure that the whole country plays a game of chess and concentrates on doing great things." In the field of science and technology and infrastructure construction, you have vigorously promoted the process of industrialization and achieved remarkable results by using the power of the state to rapidly integrate the economic and social resources of the whole society.

Deng Gong pointed out: "Compared with capitalism, the superiority of socialism lies in the fact that it can play a game of chess in the whole country, concentrate forces, and ensure key points. "There are many such examples, such as the research and development project in Huaxia, which is a typical example of the success of the central authorities in concentrating their efforts on major affairs under extremely difficult circumstances. Another example is that in the construction of the Three Gorges, the state has taken concentrated investment as the main mode and used directive planning and administrative means to provide strong support for the huge human, material, and financial resources needed for the construction of the Three Gorges Project, thus making major achievements in the construction of the Three Gorges Project.

The successful implementation of these projects has laid a solid foundation for China's economic development, social progress and the promotion of its international status, and fully demonstrated the advantages of China's decision-making mechanism in concentrating on major affairs.

Concentrating forces to do great things can not only play a role under a highly centralized planned economic system, but can also be applied to the socialist market economic system.

The leader once pointed out: Our greatest advantage is that China's socialist system is capable of concentrating forces to do great things, and we must form a new mechanism for concentrating forces to do great things under the conditions of the socialist market economy. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiaobin, do you know that with the continuous advancement of the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the advantages of concentrating on major affairs in the Chinese decision-making mechanism can still play a greater role. In some important areas and key industries that have a bearing on the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as projects and projects that require very large amounts of investment, it is difficult to rely only on the strength of a certain region or department, and it is necessary to mobilize the strength of the whole country to promote it. ”

Lu Xiaobin pondered for a moment and said: "Although concentrating on doing big things has its advantages, it is also possible to do wrong things and bad things. Such examples are not uncommon in your China, and all kinds of unfinished projects are also common. ”

Li Tianyi nodded and said, "What you said is indeed the truth, and our decision-makers in Huaxia have also noticed the problems you mentioned. It is precisely for this reason that we stress that in the process of making decisions on major matters, it is necessary to promote democratic, scientific, and law-based decision-making, and avoid mistakes in decision-making, especially in major matters.

The most important thing is that we have now introduced a lifelong accountability system for civil servants, which will be held accountable for life in general work affairs, so lifelong accountability is indispensable in decision-making on major matters.

In this case, with a lifelong accountability system, who else dares to act recklessly?"

When Li Tianyi said this, Lu Xiaobin frowned and thought for a while, wanting to refute it, but he couldn't seem to find any reason to refute it.

At this time, Li Tianyi continued: "Lu Xiaobin, do you know that our decision-making mechanism in China is completely different from that in the United States. In the United States, after Trapp became the leader, he went his own way in so many things, and even reversed course in the exchanges of international affairs, which made the United States completely lose its credibility in the world.

However, this will not be the case in our Huaxia, because our decision-making mechanism in China can integrate the advantages of elite decision-making and democratic decision-making, so as to ensure the efficiency and representativeness of decision-making.

I can give another simple example, take the high-speed rail we are taking now, for example, 20 years ago, railway technology, whether it is the United States, Germany, Japan, their technology is much higher than our China, but you look at the present, 20 years have passed, on the basis of our correct decision-making and concentration on scientific research, our high-speed rail in China has become a business card of China, and some people even call high-speed rail one of the four new inventions of China, and this advantage is the United States, Germany and Japan, these countries do not have。

The reason why I take you to visit these three great projects is to tell you that you don't really think that the so-called democracies in the United States and Europe have a superior system, in fact, their system has many problems, and their system is only suitable for their unique cultural background.

Lu Xiaobin, if you are a little more sensitive to politics, you will find that whether it is the United States or Europe, they have been doing three things.

The first thing is to send missionaries abroad incessantly, to spread their doctrines and teachings, and to collect widely believers who recognize their civilization. ”

Lu Xiaobin frowned and said, "There's nothing wrong with their approach, the world hasn't declared this kind of behavior illegal?"

Li Tianyi sneered and said: "Although they did not violate the law in this way, in fact, what they carried out was a very powerful act of aggression, and the essence of this behavior is ideological aggression and ideological aggression.

Through this pattern of aggression, they spread their unique culture and civilization to other countries and regions of the world, thereby creating a favorable ideological basis for the promotion of their so-called democracy and system.

And this kind of ideological aggression and ideological aggression is also manifested in the cultural aggression spread by Hollywood blockbusters.

There is no doubt that Hollywood blockbusters are good-looking or not, but if you study and think about it deeply, you will find that almost all Hollywood blockbusters are spreading American and Western ideology and civilization. ”

Lu Xiaobin recalled it carefully, and felt that what Li Tianyi said was quite reliable, so he continued to ask: "Then what are the second and third things you said?"

Li Tianyi said: "The second thing that the United States and Europe do is to export their political ideas and political systems, and even do not hesitate to make all kinds of **** for this, and finally for the third thing, that is, to disrupt the development process of other countries, and even directly use force to invade this country, and then obtain economic and geopolitical benefits."

The civilization of the West is based on the civilization of the jungle, which is full of predatory civilization.

Our Chinese civilization is based on Confucianism, and the civilization developed after integrating various schools of thought, and one of the cores of Confucian civilization is the word "he". ”

When Li Tianyi said this, he had already noticed that although Lu Xiaobin was listening to his words, he also began to think in his heart.

Li Tianyi continued: "Lu Xiaobin, I can give you another example, now, what is Trapp doing in the United States, he is making enemies with the whole world, he is promoting his so-called America First concept all over the world, and the principle of his work is to put interests first, and even going back on his word for this, and not believing in his words, this is the so-called civilization and culture of the United States and the West.

At this moment, what are we doing in China, we are engaged in the Belt and Road Initiative, we are engaged in win-win cooperation, and cooperation is peace.

Lu Xiaobin, which of these two ways do you think can win the recognition of the people of the world and win the future?"
