Chapter 26 China in the Eyes of Foreigners

As if there was no silence from Gowen, Nicole continued in a deep voice: "And many of my current policies are really strange! When I saw China on a map for the first time, I was immediately filled with curiosity about this ancient country, with its magnificent mountains and rivers, wonderful scenery, and countless places of interest. The more you know about this ancient country, the more you want to see this mysterious place for yourself. I have to say that Chinese is a great nation, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the wonderful food ......"

In a trance, Nicole seemed to fall into a memory, and muttered: "When I was very young, I saw the long line representing the Great Wall of China on the map for the first time on the map, and I dreamed that one day I could see this incredible miracle with my own eyes and stroke the city wall with a sense of history!" I dream of one day riding my bike from one end of the Great Wall to the other. When I came to China, I thought I would be able to fulfill my childhood dream, but just as I was about to take advantage of the holiday to get ready to leave, I was told that I could not go to the Great Wall, not because of the complicated weather conditions, nor because I did not have enough money to prepare, but because I did not have a pass! ”

Speaking of this, Nicole's affection obviously moved a little, and in order to increase her persuasiveness, she waved her arms and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "This is simply unreasonable, don't foreigners have human rights?" This is not fair to us foreigners at all! Do you know, I have also seen signs in Chinese and English on some streets in Shanghai that say 'Foreigners are not allowed to cross without permission', which simply hurts the hearts of those of us who have come to China to help you! This practice is as unreasonable and contemptuous of human rights as the sign that some foreigners hung at the entrance of the hotel during the Republic of China period, saying 'Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter'! Are you taking revenge? ”

Encore seemed to be frightened by Nicole's appearance, and couldn't help but move to the place where Govine was sitting, she had never seen Nicole so serious and angry, but after listening to Nicole's words, she vaguely thought that what Nicole said seemed to be right.

Govine smiled bitterly, speechless, Nicole's example of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" is like a slap in the face, and there is no way to refute it.

"And your family planning, it is incomprehensible that an NV person can only have one child, and such a system that does not respect the individual is still regarded as a national policy by your government! It's unbelievable! ”

Govin finally couldn't keep silent, even if he agreed with some of Nicole's views in his heart, but as a Chinese, an intellectual who grew up under the red flag and had been educated by the party and society for many years, at this time he did not dislike the mentality of being ugly, and he began to justify: "Nicole, these situations you said do exist, but history tells us: everything we must look at with the eyes of Zhan." Human society is always advancing in contradictions, and the resolution of a contradiction will produce new contradictions, and society is always making progress in the process of constantly resolving contradictions. I think you should know that although World War II is far away from us, the international situation is still quite tense, and the Cold War mentality still has a strong survival force in the international community. ”

After sorting out his thoughts, Govin continued: "There should be nothing wrong with some of the measures taken by the political family for the sake of the security of the homeland out of various political needs, right? After the end of World War II, President Trum MÊn of the United States put forward the concept of the Cold War, which kept the capitalist countries and the ** countries in opposition, so that the world that ended the war was still violent. In order to cope with this situation, China's leaders encourage fertility and regulate the population when the problem of food and clothing has not been truly solved. ”

Govin said this, noticing that Nicole, who was listening carefully to what he was saying, couldn't help but nod in agreement. He continued: "However, with the rapid expansion of the population, China's population is now a bit too large, and it has exceeded the capacity of social and economic development, and has created the problem of overpopulation. The reason why China is implementing the family planning policy now is that we are paying for the hardships of the previous encouragement of childbearing. ”

Looking at Nicole's thoughtful look, Govin struck while the iron was hot: "A group of herders grazing together in a public pasture. A herder wants to raise an extra sheep to increase his personal income, although he knows that there are already too many sheep in the pasture, and increasing the number of sheep will reduce the quality of the pasture. How will pastoralists choose? If everyone profits from themselves, they will definitely choose to raise more sheep for profit, because the cost of grassland degradation is borne by everyone. But if every herder thinks like this, then the pasture will continue to degrade until it is impossible to raise sheep, and eventually all herders will go bankrupt. ”

In the same way, there is a scientific limit to how many people the earth can fit in. The more people consume, the more natural resources will be consumed, and there must be a scientific and reasonable scale for the consumption of natural resources by human beings, otherwise it may endanger the survival of the entire human race. Therefore, the total population of the world must be controlled within a reasonable and moderate range, and the number of people must be controlled within the permanent common interest of all mankind. China's current implementation of the family planning system, although it seems unfair on the issue of human rights, is a matter of more merit than demerit for the whole of mankind. ”

Next to him, Encore looked at Govin who was talking eloquently, her heart was full of surprise and pride, and Nicole, who was thinking along Govine's train of thought, was obviously also conquered by Govine's eloquence, she stared at Govine with big blue eyes, and said seriously: "Govern, are you really a poet?" ”

Govin was a little puzzled, and he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Nicole said seriously: "Aren't poets all animals who are more sensitive? Why is your logic so strong, I don't think you're a poet, you should be a logician or a theorist! ”

Belch...... Govern was obviously chilled by Nicole's cold humor, but he still looked at Nicole seriously and said: "Nicole, the Chinese government is not a dictator, he is the spokesman of the whole Chinese people, so I believe that it will not be long before you will achieve your dreams!" At that time, even if you don't have a pass, even if you ride a motorcycle on the Great Wall, as long as you don't break the law, no one will embarrass you! Of course, the premise is that you can carry your motorcycle to the Great Wall. ”
