Dalai Lama to retire from political life

Brotherhood,

Some facts on Poverty.

Poverty in People's Republic of China refers to people whose income is less than the $1.25 per day poverty line (PPP) set by the World Bank. Poverty has affected all aspects of China, including the environment, health, education, housing, nutrition, and agriculture. It has disrupted families and communities, and sent millions from the poorer regions to the cities in a desperate search for work.

Since the start of far-reaching economic reforms in the late 1970s, growth has fueled a remarkable increase in per capita income and a decline in the poverty rate from 64% at the beginning of reform to 16% in 2004. At the same time, however, new disparities have increased. Income inequality has risen, propelled by the rural-urban income gap and by the growing disparity between highly educated urban professionals and the urban working class. There have also been increases in the inequality of health and education outcomes. Exact statistics are disputed, as there have been reports of China underestimating the poverty rate.
ScienceDirect - China Economic Review : China's poverty statistics

he structural reforms of China’s economy have brought about a widening of income gap and rising unemployment in the urban cities. The increasing challenge for the China government and social organizations is to address and solve poverty issues in urban areas where the people are increasingly being economically and socially marginalized. According to the official estimates, 12 million people were considered as urban poor in 1993, i.e. 3.6 per cent of the total urban population, but by 2006 the figure had jumped to more than 22 million, i.e. 4.1 per cent of the total urban population and these figures are estimated to grow if the government fails to institute any effective measures to circumvent this escalating problem

Slums?

Yes in a democracy it is not possible to demolish them.

But in a totalitarian regime, it is always possible and the people are not material.

Don't believe it. Here is what China Daily has reported. Some extracts:

You no shame? How do you explain some facts about India's Commonwealth Games?

Salim, any comments on this post?

Yes, happiness and being contented is not by the money in the pocket.

Chinese may not have spiritual bliss since they believe Money brings Happiness.

That is their way of life.

In India and elsewhere, money is not the last word. Mental Peace and spiritual bliss is.

A Chinese proverb says:

A man's greed is like a snake that wants to swallow an elephant.

The other Chinese proverbs are:

Love is blind, and greed insatiable.

There is no greater calamity than being consumed by greed.

I am told that Chinese have a proud heritage and are a cultured people.

Your first line indicates otherwise.

Notwithstanding, could it be too much to ask that you have a civil tongue in your head and not expose the inherent crudeness that you display. I am sure that could not be genetic.

Your repetition reminds me of Geobbel. But let it pass.



Indeed!

So. ordinary people can become Presidents in China. Sure. No one denies it. Deng was a peasant and he became the Head, so to say.

But you have to be a Communist and you have to bow down to the leader. He was purged twice because he did not agree with Mao.

Liu Shaoqi was declared a 'Capitalist-roader' and a traitor, but was posthumously rehabilitated by Deng Xiaoping's government in 1980 and given a state funeral.

so, it means that you have to kowtow and be agreeable to the Leader in Power and not based on your merit.

if Mao had not purged Deng, China would have been riding high much earlier than what is current!!

Wall Street control the US govt. Maybe.

May we look at China and who controls it?




All are well aware who runs China. Check the earlier posts on Chinese committees and their powers.

indeed China will carry out political reforms forever. it requires such a long span to come to where the world governance of free people is!

I'm sorry if you think I lost the courtesy.

So, you're just dissatisfied with corruption?

When a country became rich from the poor, There will be money worship and corruption. Only a sound legal system and a prosperous life can solve this problem.
The time when Western countries are poor, their corruption is more serious than we are now.
So we certainly believe that CPC can solve the problem of corruption.

For example: Singapore and the USA who is more honest?

Yes, this is the usual reason for India's elites to shirk its responsibility, of course, they want the poor of India to accept a "peaceful and happy"life, do you think India's poor is a fool?

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

You no shame? How do you explain some facts about India's Commonwealth Games?

And your point is?

Either you follow the thread and the posts or just park in the layback.


Good Tongzhi, what shame are you alluding to?

The enjoinder about Wall Street controlling the US?

 

[huzihaidao12]

Of course, the Indian poor to demand more in order to survive, it must be greedy demands, they are poor, how can they demand so much?

Does Indian Govt not demolish Slums?
At least the Chinese govt for more compensation.

First meet the material-wealth, and then can to meet the spiritual-wealth.
That is a basic common sense.

If the Indians really meet, why do they want to corruption?
Do not forget that India corruption is more serious than China.

Tell me, why would a person living in "non-democratic" Hong Kong, with a GDP per capita that is 30 times more than that of India (and a much higher standard of living)... possibly want to move to a country like "democratic" India, which has the highest number of people in poverty in the world?

I don't really think that starvation counts as "spiritual bliss".

Oh boy, you really believe there are no slums in Chinese cities, do you? Just google (or Baidu, whatever) 'slums in china' and you will all the information you need. In the meantime, here's a starting point for you:
