Regarding China's economic construction, Yang Shaozong put forward his own ideas and views. Moreover, his views have supporters of the Nobel Prize in Economics. He and Yang Xiaokai have completely the same views.
Others don¡¯t agree, not because they don¡¯t agree, but because they are under too much pressure.
After Yang Shaozong's first report to the leaders of the Political Bureau, the Central Committee and the State Council quickly convened most of the domestic economic experts for a centralized discussion. Yang Shaozong, Yang Xiaokai, and Chen Xihua jointly wrote an academic report - "China's Economy in The possibility and characteristics of economic operation in a low-inflation society."
There is a great debate in the domestic economic circle. Pu and Wu, two former directors of the National Research Center, each hold their own opinion. Pu means that the risk is high, and selling state-owned assets is used to maintain social welfare. If the economy does not develop, the long-term consequences will be In order to face the situation of having no talent, and whether it is more risky to pursue balanced development at the same time, it is a completely opposite policy to the original concentrated development and first development policy. It is not yet known whether it can really be implemented.
Mr. Wu chose to support it. At least in academic theory, this is completely feasible and is also the best choice.
Mao Zhangtong and other big names in the economics field chose to remain silent and said a few words that were neither salty nor mild. Among the young and middle-aged economists, everyone's debate became very fierce.
To be honest, if the proposer was not a winner of two Nobel Prizes in Economics, but actually had the support of Prime Minister Rong behind him, this debate would be difficult to trigger.
??Everyone feels that the risks are still high, and it may be better to continue to cross the river by moving stones.
In this regard, Yang Shaozong said something very scary. He said - I think the probability of being on the path of capitalism is greater.
This debate started at the end of February 1999 and continued until the end of April with no conclusion. Dozens of symposiums were held. The key was that Chairman Wang was reluctant to express his position.
risky.
At the end of April, Mao Yushi suddenly said that the risks were too great and there were too many unpredictable risks. At this time, Mao Yushi happened to be a standing member of the Central Financial and Economic Advisory Committee. His words had a profound impact on the central financial and economic policy-making body. The impact was great, and Prime Minister Rong, who had always been in agreement, suddenly became silent.
Yang Shaozong was somewhat disappointed when he realized that the opinions he and his mentor Yang Xiaokai had taken huge political risks to put forward were eventually drowned out.
On the evening of May 3, Mr. Mao went to the National Research Institute and talked with Yang Shaozong for three hours. On May 1, Yang Shaozong resigned from the position of president of the National Institute of Economic Research due to personal reasons, and sadly left the National Institute of Economic Research of China as a loser.
Yang Shaozong and Mao Lao talked a lot.
Mao Lao said frankly that theoretically, this is almost the only opportunity for China to become the world's economic hegemon and challenge the United States. The whole set of theories and data deductions are completely correct, but there are two costs. First, government agencies must be significantly reduced; second, , we must continue to sell shares of state-owned monopolies and adopt French center-left policies.
¡°As long as the central government has absolute determination, there is no so-called risk at all. France and Sweden have already walked the same road, and China can definitely walk a smoother path.
The key is that these two prices are unacceptable to "many people" in the country, and everyone would rather build their ideal "socialism" according to the current model.
In short, it is not important that China can become a world hegemon. What is important is that PetroChina and Sinopec cannot be sold. This is a symbol of socialism.
Mr. Mao came on behalf of Premier Rong. He had two suggestions. One was to become the president of Tsinghua University. Premier Rong had arranged this matter and was just waiting for Yang Shaozong to speak. The other was to resign altogether. Yang Shaozong left. Everyone felt that this matter In the past, Premier Rong came to do nothing but talk.
Of course, Premier Rong is not sure how much he can do, but he will do his best to reach the limit of his ability with a clear conscience.
In this case, Yang Shaozong could only choose to resign simply, which would bring this matter to an end for the time being.
The next day, Yang Shaozong simply submitted his resignation to the State Council and had already packed it up. He knew that Chinese politics has always had a lot of beatings for lost dogs. When he decided to leave, he would lose all his foothold in the country, at least In recent years, he has been unable to continue to be as comfortable as he was in the past.
He has decided to accept the invitation of the Hong Kong government to serve as an economic policy advisor to the Hong Kong government, and return to Hong Kong with his mentor Yang Xiaokai to continue professional academic research. They have even chosen a new topic - "Asian Dollar", international non-sovereign trade. The application and function of the monetary system is their new topic.
Everyone has already acquiesced in their choice. It will take some time for the State Council to submit it to the Politburo for approval.bsp; It felt like Yang Shaozong had said something else, and Premier Rong continued to soften it for him: "I think this is still a relatively distant matter. For now, anti-corruption is still our most important task."
Minister Chi said: "We will wait for the anti-corruption matter. We will discuss the demonstration with the United States first. There is no response at all. What's the use of just condemning it?"
There are different opinions.
Chairman Wang was thinking silently. He thought for a long time and then said to Yang Shaozong: "Comrade Shaozong, you are also an old party member. You joined the party when you were 17 years old in college. You have 14 years of party experience now. Working in Qizhou is so Over the years, we have built a very good model of socialism. What do you think is a basic principle of socialist construction now?"
Yang Shaozong thought for a while and said: "Fairness, this is the most basic principle. Everyone must be equal, everyone has the opportunity to get rich, and everyone must be rich. You can be richer, even if there are 10,000 people like me Being so rich is not a problem. The problem is that we must ensure that everyone has assets sufficient to support their lives and that everyone has the opportunity to get rich. I insist that we should take the center-left socialist path, and we must operate in the market In terms of economic development, we must implement the basic rules and order of a free market economy. At the same time, we must also ensure that every citizen has good social welfare, a fair and just welfare system, educational opportunities and medical security that are even biased towards the poor. We must ensure that everyone has a house to live in, can afford medical treatment, and can afford to study, even if our country develops a little slower. In the final analysis, we do not build the national economy for the sake of the people; , we must distribute benefits and wealth to every Chinese."
Chairman Wang then praised with certainty: "Yes, what you said is very correct. We are engaged in national economic construction for the people, and we are engaged in national economic construction for the people. Slower national development is not a problem. But we must ensure that all people are guaranteed and have fair and equitable development opportunities.¡±
That night, Yang Shaozong talked with several leaders until more than 2 o'clock in the morning. He finally had the opportunity to fully explain his thoughts on the entire center-left governance.
"This path is definitely feasible for China. The key is whether the top leaders within the party have the courage."
If you have the courage, there will be absolutely no problem.
Whether to follow his set of ideas until it surpasses the United States Let's not talk about it for now. That night, Chairman Wang gave Yang Shaozong a task - to use his international status as the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, To publicly condemn the United States, it would be better to hold a public speech.
The central government plans to arrange for 70,000 to 80,000 people to attend, and it will be broadcast live on CCTV to the entire country.
As for the manuscript, the General Office of the State Council has almost prepared it.
Yang Shaozong got the manuscript and read it the next day. He felt that it was not his style at all, so he asked his team to write another speech in his style, titled "Bravely Beyond the United States."
Premier Rong made a slight change and agreed that Yang Shaozong should hold a public speech according to his own speech. The venue was chosen to be the Workers' Gymnasium. All the people present were university students from the capital. Central leaders tried not to attend to ensure that it was an absolutely folk event. Qualitative public speaking.
This is a bit deceptive. If it is of a folk nature, what are you going to do with the live broadcast?
There is no doubt that Yang Shaozong is a very powerful speaker. On May 12, he held a public speech at the Workers' Gymnasium. In his speech, he said that we must be freer, more open, greater, and more determined. , Only a great Chinese nation can build the most powerful country, and only by becoming the most powerful country can we not be bullied.
He said that we must strive for goals beyond the United States. We must not be afraid. We must have the courage. We must be brave enough. We must dare to tear down all the current cages. We must reshape our national spirit. We must To build a new New China spirit for the next century, we must shape new Chinese youth for the next century.
Finally, he said, now, let us hold hands together, unite, and bravely surpass the United States. Let us unite together and become the greatest country in the world again! ro! .
