Chapter 2156 Dialogue
"Governor Xia, your words are biased. Mr. Edward questioned the current human rights situation in China. You can convince Mr. Edward from the comparison between history and present, rather than avoiding talking about it."
Zhong Yang appeared in time, and the first sentence criticized Xia for not thinking about it.
Xia Xiang didn't expect Zhong Yang to jump out again. He frowned slightly, and his patience to Zhong Yang was extremely strong.
Not only was Zhong Yang not tactful, he also opposed his statement in front of outsiders, which was a manifestation of lack of political wisdom. If he did not agree with his views, he could communicate in private or even sue him, and insisted on raising questions in front of Edward. This was equivalent to letting outsiders see the discord between the Chinese, which was obviously ugly.
Why is Zhong Yang so wise?
"Sauce? What does it mean?" Edward was surrounded by Xia Xiang and asked in surprise, ignoring Zhong Yang's arrival. As far as the political environment abroad, he could not understand what kind of organization the National Development and Reform Commission was. Edward did not know Zhong Yang, and he had no interest in knowing him.
I don’t know if I want to sit down and talk about human rights issues in vain. It’s just a fog. How many so-called foreign friends who don’t understand the current situation in China are eager to reform and democracy in China are actually just wishful thinking and delusions.
Xia Xiang just nodded to Zhong Yang, and did not answer Zhong Yang's words, and answered Edward's question: "In a city in southern China, a TV station asked him to talk about his views on a major event that caused a sensation. As a result, the man in slippers and shorts was very disgusted by this and said impatiently, "I'm just coming out to make a soy sauce. What a sensational event has nothing to do with me?"
Edward was stunned, obviously not understanding the profound meaning that Xia Xiang wanted to express.
In fact, when many foreign forces make accusations on China's human rights issues, they are all out of political needs. Who would travel thousands of miles to care whether the lower-class people in China have the right to vote and be elected? If you really care, you should also care about basic food and clothing issues such as food and clothing. Why have the United States and other countries never come to China to care about poverty alleviation?
It is nonsense to talk about human rights without survival.
Similarly, talking about democracy without improving the quality of the people is also nonsense.
However, with the stubborn thinking of Europeans and Americans, I can't understand the nonsense jokes in Zhao Benshan's sketches, nor can I understand the true meaning of making soy sauce. Xia Xiang just reluctantly literate Edward: "The current situation in China is that you talk about human rights with the people, and the people want to survive. When you solve the food and clothing of the people, you will guide them to care about major issues. Their home is cooking meat, so you need to make soy sauce quickly. For the human rights that you talk about every day, for the Chinese people, it is not as important as your own soy sauce, nor as affordable as eggs. If you want to blame China's human rights issues, Mr. Edward, you can only have a say in China for ten or eight years."
"If you don't believe it, you can stop someone on the street and talk to him about the current human rights situation in China. He will most likely answer you, human rights? Human rights can be eaten!" Xia Xiang smiled relaxedly, "I don't deny that there is indeed a little problem in China's human rights issue. It is not that the country does not work hard to improve it, but that China's human rights progress will take a long stage. There is an old saying in China that you will not hurt your back when you stand and speak. I hope that when Britain talks about human rights with China in the future, please first return the huge losses caused to China by the Eight-Nation Alliance invading China, and then calculate how much gold and silver it plundered during the British colonial period, and then sit down and talk about human rights issues together to better."
Edward finally blushed and was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Xia Xiang was the most sharp and tricky Chinese official he met in his diplomatic career. Not only did he not give in to human rights issues, but he also explained it quite innovatively. Unlike the officials he had encountered before, when answering sensitive questions, he either recited textbooks in an official voice or talked about him.
Never had a man like Xia Xiang, not only counterattacked sharply, but also responded calmly, confessed his shortcomings, faced his shortcomings, and looked at the future. At the same time, he also hit the UK and alluded to the United States without any hesitation.
It must be said that this test ended in failure.
No, it cannot be said that it is a failure. His temptation was also considered successful. At least he could draw a clear conclusion - if Xia Xiang served as China's national leader, his foreign policies would definitely be stronger. In addition to being tough, Xia Xiang has the courage and courage and will become the most difficult Chinese leader in Europe and the United States!
Edward was unwilling to fail. He had always been used to gaining the upper hand in front of Chinese officials. Today he wanted to test Xia Xiang to see if the youngest governor in China, which caused a huge sensation in Europe and the United States, was so frustrated that he was speechless by Xia Xiang's argument. He couldn't help but be angry and annoyed. With a glance of his eyes, he found Zhong Yang who was standing awkwardly standing beside him, and he had another plan.
The Chinese are best to fight in the nest. Since he couldn't tell Xia Xiang, he seemed to have a prejudice against Xia Xiang just now, so he looked at Zhong Yang with interest and said, "Mr. Zhong, please sit down. I just heard your tone, as if you have something to say, and I would like to hear Mr. Zhong's opinion."
Zhong Yang pretended to be amazing just now, just to attract the attention of Xia Xiang and Edward - he knew who Edward was and also knew how much Edward was in British diplomatic affairs - but Xia Xiang obviously did not treat him as a dish, and even Edward was not lukewarm to him, which made him very embarrassed, and he was not going to leave or sit.
Zhong Yang would not think that his identity was originally very embarrassing. The National Development and Reform Commission is a product of Chinese characteristics. If there is no corresponding agency abroad, it is normal for no corresponding level officials to talk to him. He went on a visit with Dai Fusheng. In fact, except for the Dean Fusheng who expressed his support for Volvo's layout in China at the Volvo headquarters, showing that the National Development and Reform Commission's cooperation and support for Geely and Volvo, the rest of the time was to accompany him.
Following... In layman's terms, it is a benefit for a trip abroad.
If it weren't for the little unhappiness between him and Xia Xiang, the feeling of traveling abroad with public funds would be really good, but Xia Xiang was just hampering his eyes everywhere, which gave his originally relaxed and comfortable mood.
Now that the opportunity has come, he wants to teach Xia Xiang a lesson.
Listening to what Xia Xiang said was childish and arrogant. As soon as Edward opened his mouth, he hurriedly sat down and smiled at Edward: "I can't say that high opinion, I'm still willing to communicate with Mr. Edward."
Zhong Yang's smile fell into Xia Xiang's eyes, which made Xia Xiang extremely contemptuous. His almost flattering smile reminded him of the servile smile of Qing Dynasty officials who had big braids in the Qing Dynasty to foreigners.
If the previous argument with Zhong Yang was not enough to make Xia Xiang want to block Zhong Yang's ascendance, then Zhong Yang was humiliated and insisted on coming over to show it. What Zhong Yang didn't know was that his flattering smile brought an end to his career.
Xia Xiang is the one who has no backbone!
Zhong Yang felt good about himself and talked freely: "China is committed to promoting and protecting the human rights and basic freedoms of its people. People of all ethnic groups in China enjoy the basic rights granted by the Constitution in accordance with the law. The level of Chinese people enjoying citizen, political, economic, social and cultural rights has been greatly improved. While China's economy is developing rapidly, it emphasizes the rule of law and is committed to building a fair, just and harmonious society. China's human rights cause is constantly progressing, which is obvious to anyone who is not biased."
Xia Xiang turned his head aside, and Zhong Yang was not simple either. It would be a pity not to be a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He spoke a big call, which was completely diplomatic language, just correct but useless nonsense.
Zhong Yang was distracted and still said with great momentum: "China has achieved remarkable achievements in the field of human rights protection, and the Chinese people fully enjoy human rights and freedoms in accordance with the law. Due to different historical and cultural differences and different levels of development, it is normal for countries to have different views on human rights issues. China advocates that all countries carry out dialogue and communication on the basis of equality and mutual respect, thereby enhancing understanding and narrowing differences."
Edward nodded slightly: "So, Mr. Zhong disagrees with what Mr. Xia said just now?"
Edward obviously sowed the disagreement and wanted to use Zhong Yang to deal with Xia Xiang. If Zhong Yang was smart, he should lightly kick Edward's ball aside and stand on the united front with Xia Xiang. In the face of national affairs, it is the style of a politician to throw personal grievances aside.
Unfortunately, Zhong Yang is not a politician, but just a bureaucrat who is used to being surrounded by power. In fact, since Zhong Yang is here for vacation, he should have a safe vacation. He insisted on being idle and fighting with Xia Xiang, just to make trouble.
Yes, he is the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission with great power. Governors from all over the country have to give him three points, but don’t forget who Xia Xiang is. Xia Xiang is the core figure of the family power that even the Prime Minister wants to give him three points. He is the designated seventh generation successor whom even the General Secretary appreciates very much. How can Zhong Yang, a small deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, be compared?
If a person does not put himself in the right position, he will sooner or later be exhausted by his arrogance.
Zhong Yang was promptly challenged by Edward and immediately said: "Governor Xia's statement just now is generally correct, but there are certain directional errors. What I want to remind Governor Xia is to talk to each other and not to confront each other. Governor Xia's speech just now is too irrational, and even means a fight of intentions."
He is really a politically retarded person. He is used to internal fighting at home. Don’t you know that you must be united in the foreign world when you go abroad? You must kill each other in front of outsiders. Zhong Yang, Zhong Yang, you are too easy to be exploited.
Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly, and endured it, but still did not refute Zhong Yang positively: "Director Zhong has misinterpreted my words, so I won't explain much. Anyway, what I want to say to Mr. Edward has been finished. Now I'm hungry, so I want to eat something..."
Edward secretly praised Xia Xiang, who was a smart person and was not fooled, had nothing to do, so he got up and gave Xia Xiang a gift.
