Week Two:Sep.25 Politics and Studies on Politics
一，Why do we need studies on politics? ● Generally:No place to hide from politics so long as you are a member in a human society.Politics invades every aspect of our daily life regardless of the place you reside
o Particularly:If we agree that politics is first of all about allocation of valuables one of the most popular definition of politics,we have to admit that we Chinese are group of people whose knowledge, skills and achievement in politics are exceptionally poor and low.Our political IQ is terriblly incommensurate to our IQ in economics and military.The knowledge, capabilities and achievements we have in economics and military are far greater than ours in politics
Evidences: Chinese civilization of 1,000 years ago; Economic and cultural achievements in Chinese history:dynasties of Han,Tang,Song,and Qing, etc.;GDP of Qing was about 35%of the world, amount to the total of Europe,Japan,the U.S. and Russia;economic achievements across strait only in 1-2 generation. No others in this planet,not even Jews, Japanese,Americans or whoever,can defeat us economically and militarily!
