society and economy

A about a week ago, while some friends asked me about my opinion about the future of China and the attitude toward Taiwan, we seemed to have quite a different perspective.

For most Taiwanese, they supported that Taiwan is an independent country. But surprisedly, one of them agreed with me that Taiwan is a part of China. Though I am not sure whether or not he will claim himself as an Canadian, therefore he could just say that because it is none of his business to participate in this embroilment. But I did appreciate his agreement. For the other question most of them just agreed that China will have a prosperous future and will be stronger and more powerful.

While in my opinion, I do a agree that Taiwan is definitely a part of China and is an indispansible part, however it is part of China not part of Republic of China. And for the second question, I am not sure whether or not China will become stronger and more prosperous, but I do believe that if it develops along the same way it goes not without dramatically change, the distance between rich and poor will becomes increasingly larger. And the society will become more corrupt, then it will give birth to disaster to the whole society as well as the culture and the future.

For long time ago, I always consider corruption as an individual moral issue. Recently, I do agree with the Venus project that corruption is just a kind of the basis of this society manipulated by the current monetary system. No matter how harder we try, we can not cope with those latent and underlying rules driven by the profit and the nature of the structure of this system, as well as the nature of the greedy and pursuit of the power and benefits.

Looking at current society, most the politicians wear expensive suit, talking about all kinds of notions what a society will be or promised to be. They seldom care about the basic education in rural area or the sustained environment. The most they care is how to maintain their position or the profit of their company by whom they are supported. Maybe for Adam Smith, a society promoted by the profit will become a wealth nature, but some part of those idea society is falling because of those corruption and nature of the persistence of the current system, which makes innovation much more difficult and hopeless. A lot of social issues, such as energy, education, crime and even religious issue, maybe from certain perspective, all can be considered as an corruption which is the sources of evils of this monetary system.
