China's Leap Foreward

If I may make a suggestion to the rising leadership in China....

Perhaps it would be better for you all to consider consulting with the general public as to what needs to be done, rather than try to do what you all think needs to be done in a unharmonious manner?

Harmonize with the people, because it is from them that you receive your ultimate mandate to govern (beyond whatever elections you may or may not have).

Do not tempt the peasants to rise up, like they did against the young Emperor and the Empress Dowager, because that is where you and China will have big problems.

Be open and responsive to the needs of the people, rather than your own ideology and desires, and you will govern until the end of time and beyond, I think, provided you do it politically and tangibly well throughout all crises and all calamities that are going to befall you as you go along throughout time and space.

Think about it.

Cause it's only in your brain that it works one way or the other.

Test for it instead in the world that is around you.

And realize success from it.

Think about it.

Realize success from it.

Think about it.
