The Great Depression on a worldwide scale.

Professor Antonik knew it in Tahiti. Tahiti is dominated by the tourism industry, and this year, the occupancy rate of Tahiti hotels has been less than 15 percent......

Even the luxury hotels in Balabala have also been reduced at a large price to attract tourism.

Tahiti's unemployment rate is at a record high.

In the United States and Europe, television often reports of the unemployed living on the streets, standing in long queues for jobs, and even fighting.

In China, the stock market crash was particularly severe. Washington invested a lot of money to bail out the market, but it didn't work......

But when they arrived in China, Professor Antonik and the others saw a different picture.

Chenghai New Area is not full of high-rise buildings, but in the business district, there are beautiful office buildings. The office building is surrounded by a green landscape, giving it a spacious, quiet and comfortable atmosphere.

Commercial area with a lot of pedestrians. On the main road, there are small, comfortable-looking miniature cars. Large shopping malls with complete supporting facilities, at least underground parking lots......

Early the next morning, Professor Zhao led Professor Antonic and his party to the mall to shop, watch a movie, and then go shopping and eating...... Stroll around until the evening.

"It's almost 11 o'clock. Professor Antonic reminded that the mall where they parked was far away from here, and it was safe to walk over to pick up the car.

Professor Antonik lived for a time in a large city in the United States. At night, homeless people can be seen everywhere, which is also very unsafe. But when they went out to the mall, there were still careless pedestrians outside, and there were no homeless people in sight on the neat streets......

"Don't worry, Huaxia is the safest country. Day and night, there's basically not much difference. Professor Zhao said with some pride.

"There's no hint of the Great Depression here. "There's something strange about Professor Antonik.

The term "Great Depression ......" is familiar to Professor Zhao, but the economic environment of the past two decades has made it difficult to understand the Great Depression.

"I read on the news that China's stock market has been falling, and it is the market with the largest decline in the global stock market. Professor Matt said.

Professor Zhao laughed twice: "China's stock market has never been able to reflect China's real economy and people's living standards. We have also been affected by the global recession and the unemployment rate has hit a new high, but as long as you are not lazy, it is not too much of a problem to mix a bite of food. ”

"By the way, in Huaxia, you must learn a few mobile phone applications. The first one is real-name treasure, real-name treasure identity authentication APP, the function is extended to ID card, driver's license and other personal information records. The second is Dianping, which is also available in Tahiti, so I won't introduce it much. The third is the food delivery app, if you don't want to cook your own food one day, you can use the food delivery app to order any food you like. The fourth is WeChat, which is an instant chat software that most Chinese people are using, and it can also be paid with WeChat. WeChat, also Alipay software...... In Huaxia, the functionality and popularity of mobile phone software are very high. It is possible to call a taxi (private car), order food, shop, pay, and even identify other functions. ”

"In Huaxia, you can go out without a wallet, bank card, ID card, passport, driver's license, but you must bring a mobile phone. Chenghai is an emerging city with a lot of police. Your faces will be checked occasionally...... Not only because you are a foreigner, but the police have the right to ask anyone to show identification information for checks. In the past few days, I will take you to apply for a temporary green card (temporary residence permit) and complete the real-name treasure information. ”

Professor Antonic hurriedly said thank you, opened his hand, and made a gesture of hug: "I feel that I have embraced freedom." ”

Freedom, which has always been a relative concept. Freedom is within the rules. If there is absolute freedom to do whatever you want and be unscrupulous, then the world will be in chaos. At night, you can walk boldly on the street without worrying about safety, which is a kind of freedom.

This year, China has undergone great changes. For example, certain laws have been amended......

Zero tolerance for human traffickers, zero tolerance for criminal gangs involved in organized crime and drugs, and revision of juvenile protection fees...... So that minors cannot be the umbrella of crime. And so on......

In addition to the ideological and moral courses, there are also law courses.

From the beginning of junior high school, students should study and understand the law. Thought is morality, and law is the red line......

Over the next few days, Antonik taught them to begin their studies. Even with the help of Mo Fan and Professor Zhao, it will not be easy for Professor Antonic to obtain a temporary green card. First of all, there is an exam, which has some simple legal knowledge, and more about the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

The exam questions are all in Chinese, and most of the exam questions are multiple-choice questions. Only the last essay question, which is also a letter of guarantee, asks the foreign residents to make a series of guarantees that do not violate the traditional virtues and morals of the Chinese nation.

Huaxia's green card is notoriously difficult to obtain. Antonik taught them that if they were ordinary foreigners and wanted to apply for a temporary green card, they would go through the formal process for an unknown number of years.

Chinese thought is completely different from many foreign thoughts.

China is a country that pursues ideological civilization, while Western countries are not. In Western countries, their minds are very free......

Two cultures, two thoughts, and even many people say that China's thinking values harmony and advocates diligence and thrift. The West is aggressive, pursuing democracy, freedom...... The traditional Chinese people are too "civilized" to be pressed by those civilizations.

Westerners don't have that much baggage, so they're much freer......

At first, Professor Antonic was not very receptive to Chinese thought, but as they studied and lived here, Professor Antonik gradually identified with Chinese thought. This is an ancient civilization, and the thoughts of China can only be understood, and it is difficult to speak. The Chinese people talk about 'benevolence and righteousness', and the Yankees and Europeans talk about 'interests'. The Chinese people pay attention to common development, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Yankees talk about global hegemony and global threats......

Promoting the ideological education and construction of the Chinese people also has the meaning of Mo Fan.

We are friendly to friendly people and friendly countries. Treat barbaric people, barbaric countries, we will be barbaric.

This is important.

Mo Fan had seen the basic rules of interstellar civilization stored by Xiaobai, and the general situation.

After all, the earthlings must go to the universe, otherwise there is only one way to perish for mankind. Interstellar exchanges, the diachronic investigation of the civilization is a focus. If the history of earthlings is only a bloody history of war, then when other civilizations discover the earth, the first thing they consider is to destroy it.

The universe is not a completely dark jungle. With the exception of some extremely warlike civilizations, most civilizations prefer peace. And those warlike civilizations usually perish in war.
