Recently, a political commentary program on Japan's NHK TV station invited Cheng Jianke, a Chinese professor of international relations at the University of Tokyo, to talk about the next development trends of China and the United States.
Character background introduction:
Cheng Jianke: Originally from Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, he went to Japan to study in 1986. After obtaining a doctorate in international relations, he was hired by Tokyo University. He is now a professor and doctoral supervisor of international relations at the university.
Viewpoint introduction:
Professor Cheng believes that the main factors hindering the development of great countries are not external, but internal. The main factors are ignoring the objective laws of comprehensive national strength development and engaging in ideological struggles .
The following is the text:
In the 1980s, Comrade Xiaoping promised the world that China would not export ideology or revolution. As a result, China downplayed ideology and vigorously developed the economy. China began to embark on the fast lane of economic development.
Professor Cheng reminded the TV audience that downplaying ideology itself is to avoid internal strife. Everything should be considered from the perspective of being conducive to national development, conducive to the improvement of comprehensive national strength, and conducive to the interests of the broad masses of the people.
For example, this time we introduced the United States Pfizer new coronavirus specific drug. The relationship between China and the United States has almost broken down in the past three years. In this context, the introduction of Pfizer's new coronavirus specific drug is unthinkable in any country. But the Chinese government, which is highly pragmatic and does not rely on ideology to influence national policies, has done so. Because it implements a fully liberalized epidemic prevention and control policy, China needs this drug to help its people overcome the epidemic and return to normal life and production order as soon as possible.
Professor Cheng reminded other experts present that the pragmatic and proactive Chinese government does not have much explanation for some noise on the Internet. It has basically remained calm about some claims that rely on ideology and over-exaggerate the functions of domestic drugs, but it will never allow certain groups of people to use this to criticize experts and scholars who implement national policies. This proves that today's Chinese government is highly mature and highly responsible to the people.
When asked by the host to compare the current development trends between China and the United States, Professor Cheng asked Professor Cheng to answer. Professor Cheng pointed out the following three points:
First, it is foolish for the U.S. government to bribe Internet giants to create chaos in China. In the end, it will only arouse the determination and efforts of the Chinese people to unite and develop the country.
Second, the two political parties and voters in the United States are locked in an ideological dispute. They oppose for the sake of opposition. The entire American society is a powder keg. The time when this powder keg will be detonated is the 2024 presidential election-a civil war may break out. This is a good thing for Japan and the whole world.
Third, China’s economy will inevitably catch up with the United States in 2028. The reason is that active and pragmatic epidemic prevention and control policies will allow China to completely end the epidemic in April and May in the first half of 2023, and society will fully return to normal. Productivity and consumption power will explode. In the following years, China's economy will return to a growth rate of more than 8 percentage points per year. After 2025, the growth rate will exceed 10 points - because of the success of industry improvement. The host
asked what issues China should pay attention to now to avoid stepping into pitfalls and affecting development.
Professor Cheng’s answer is to quickly control those professional bad guys who use ideology to kidnap public opinion online and undermine the effectiveness of government decision-making, because behind them is the US government.
likes Professor Cheng for telling the truth.
