Chapter 24 Eloquent
"That's total nonsense!"
Xue Yimeng didn't notice that at a coffee table not far from him, a middle-aged man listened carefully to his words. He seemed to be a senior person. Judging from his dress, his income
It shouldn't be low.
Hu Jia glanced at that person and felt that he was not as easy to deal with as the two petty bourgeoisie beside him.
The middle-aged man approached Xue Yimeng and asked in an authoritative tone: "Young man, you use an American as an example to show that all Western countries are not as good as China. Is it a bit far-fetched? Also, although the United States is rich,
But the quality and morality of American people are not created by money."
"Young man?" Hu Jia said rudely, "Sir, this friend of mine is now 31 years old, and his son is already four years old. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call him 'young man'?
"
The words of the great beauty Hu Jia can always have unexpected effects. If Xue Yimeng is older and his qualifications are older, he will not be at a disadvantage in the debate. Of course, Xue Yimeng's identity setting was temporarily thought up by Hu Jia
, as for the statement that his son was already four years old, it simply made Xue Yimeng break into a cold sweat.
"Really? That's because I was too abrupt, but this gentleman looks really young, not like a man in his 30s." The middle-aged man apologized quickly, but he did not misjudge Xue Yimeng's youth.
He flinched and continued, "As far as I know, although the history of the United States is not long, its system and system combine the strengths of many countries. The purpose of its country is freedom and democracy.
So it can send votes for the election of the president to every citizen. The Chinese government shouldn’t be able to do something like this, right?”
Xue Yimeng made up his mind and adjusted his emotions. He would not be unable to answer a question like this.
"Sir, I don't know if what I just said to these two people offended you, but I have said it before. What I said only represents my personal views. I did not force my views to be added."
I think you are trying to refute my point of view. In fact, I don’t have to answer because this is not a debate. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. The winner can only use his words to express his opinion.
The picture above is just a quick moment."
Xue Yimeng did not rush to refute the middle-aged man. Instead, he retreated and said some irrelevant words. Such words are very useful when two people are arguing about something.
However, this does not mean that Xue Yimeng could not answer the middle-aged man's question. After paving the steps, he slowly said: "As for the issue of votes you mentioned, I regret to tell you that you have no choice between votes and democracy."
This is simply a wrong view. First of all, votes do not represent democracy. Votes are just a means of election. They cannot express anything, let alone represent anything. It depends on whether a country is democratic.
It depends on its democratic coverage, which is the most basic principle."
Xue Yimeng learned the idea of "democracy coverage rate" from future political textbooks. In general, democracy coverage rate is a criterion for measuring whether a country is democratic. In layman's terms, it means whether a country's rights and interests are covered by everyone.
For a citizen, the democratic coverage rate will be difficult to reach 100% even in the extremely developed world in the future. Therefore, some countries in the 21st century frequently claim that their country is completely democratic. This is simply talking nonsense.
The political knowledge of the future is indeed useful. The middle-aged man was shocked by the words "democracy coverage" and was speechless. Of course, everyone else was the same. No one had ever heard of measuring whether a country is democratic.
What concept of coverage should be used?
However, Xue Yimeng was very familiar with this theory, which he could only comprehend after studying it for many days.
"If votes can represent democracy, then a tyrannical and authoritarian government can spend more money on printing, print out hundreds of millions of ballots, and then distribute them to every citizen to force them to vote. The general election in the United States is, at best, nothing more than
It's just a formality that spends a lot of manpower and financial resources. In order to promote their so-called 'democracy', they let people all over the world know that they are a kingdom of freedom.
But what is the actual situation? After every election, the newly elected president formulates new policies that are beneficial to his own camp. The democratic coverage rate. For example, if there are two evenly matched political parties in the United States, then
Its democratic coverage rate will not exceed 50%. If there are three equally matched political parties, then its democratic coverage rate will not exceed 33%. It is ridiculous that in such a country, some people still think it is 'democratic'.
Already.
In contrast, China is different. It has a complete system of the People's Congress. Although there are many criticisms in the selection of deputies to the People's Congress, in general, as long as we stick to this system and wait until the politics are completely clear
On the day when it becomes transparent, China's democracy coverage will reach over 80%, which means it will be able to cover about 1 billion Chinese people."
For some data, Xue Yimeng could only speculate based on the current situation in China. Even 600 years later, in China, a highly developed socialist country, the democratic coverage rate has never exceeded 90%. Of course, there were many more Chinese people at that time than now, and the country
The democratic coverage rate of that year is calculated every year. The democratic coverage rate of 80% to 90% already covers a considerable range of people. China in the 21st century has a population of 1.3 billion. If 1 billion of these 1.3 billion people can be
It is already very good to enjoy democracy. Of course, this must be done under the condition of political clarity. This statement also represents a certain wish of Xue Yimeng.
The proposal of democratic coverage left everyone speechless, including Hu Jia. She originally thought that Xue Yimeng just wanted to take a breather at Metro Cafe this time, but she did not expect that he was so well prepared.
I've never heard of it myself.
The middle-aged man had a high self-esteem, but he did not expect that he would be so dejected by Xue Yimeng's words that he could not reply. He had to return to his seat depressedly and took a sip of coffee. How could this coffee be so bitter?
The petty bourgeoisie who wanted to immigrate calmed down after listening to Xue Yimeng's long speech. He was thinking, should he really immigrate to the United States, a country that is rich but hypocritical?
His friends couldn't stand it. Although he couldn't defeat Xue Yimeng verbally, he still knew how to use the tactic of removing people from the cauldron.
He looked at Xue Yimeng with doubtful eyes and asked: "Friend, are you really not a 50-cent Party member?"
Xue Yimeng was stunned. He did not expect that the other party would ask such a question. He had heard of the name of the Fifth Maoist Party, but he was not.
Hu Jia said: "My friend has a high-paying job. He was just expressing his views. As for the Five-Mao Party, he doesn't like it."
Hu Jia very cleverly helped Xue Yimeng get out of trouble. This time, the purpose of coming to Metro Cafe was achieved.
