新民主宣言
无需讳言,当今人类正面临百年未有之大变局。无论双方是否愿意面对或承认,事实上中国与美国正在“竞选”未来世界的新总统,只是全人类希望他可以有能力领导世界走向更加和平与幸福的未来。无论对民主如何理解,至少有一点是全世界一致公认的:拥有选票资格的人不能完全由某一方的候选人来确定。况且,全球国家与地区总共有224个,美国召开的民主峰会总数仅为109个,那么,这是否意味着美国已经承认剩下的114票都归中国,他们发起的选战刚刚开始,就已经正式宣告了竞选的失败呢?因为美国不断以民主之名干涉 中国的内政,出于对人类舆论的尊重,必须把我们对新民主的理解予以宣布。
我们认为下述真理是不证自明的:
公理一:人人生而不平等。
因为历史、自然条件等的客观差异,出生在贫民窟的孩子与出生在富翁家的孩子是不平等的;出生在发达国家的孩子,与出生在发展中国家的孩子是不平等的;出生在战火纷飞战场的孩子,与出生在和平国度的孩子是不平等的……
如果人人生而平等,那么一切民主或其他的社会制度都将成为多余。正因为人人生而不平等,所以人类才渴望和需要建立一个良好的社会制度来有效促进人类的平等、共同富裕和共同的发展。
公理二:判断一个社会优良与否,最终的标准就在于它能否在实践中真正更有效地解决人类的不平等问题。
如果评价一个社会的标准不是通过它的结果和事实,那还能是什么呢?难道一个在疫情中死亡快上百万的社会制度,会比一个只死亡几千人的更好吗?难道一个警察可以随意杀死一个路人的社会,会比一个任何人在夜晚上街都感到安全的社会更好吗?难道一个几乎年年都在随意入侵他国领土,并让成千上万的平民死亡的国家,会比一个“己所不欲,勿施于人”的国家更好吗?难道一个富人税收更低、穷人税收更高、无论经济发展好坏,富人财富都能更快增长,穷人财富都相对或绝对贫困的社会,会比一个竭尽全力追求全社会与全人类共同富裕,并把它作为自身信仰和行为准则的社会更好吗?……
如果事实和结果不能成为评价的终极标准,人类还有什么真理可言?
公理三:科学是全人类的共同财富,并且是超越于一切民族、一切宗教、一切国家、一切社会的共同语言。
科学不仅是人类认识世界的最好方法,人类相互理解的最有效渠道,也是改变社会,改变世界,使人类的民主和自由权力真正得到满足的最好途径。我们衷心地感谢各个国家与民族的科学家,思想家和智者们对科学所做出的杰出贡献。他们是所身处民族和国家的自豪与骄傲,也是我们全人类的自豪与骄傲。
公理四:自由不可能定律。
人类的一切自由是不可能同时得到满足的。当与一个自己相爱的人行使结婚的自由权力时,就等于放弃了与其他人相爱的自由;如果允许强盗有抢劫他人的自由,就相当于放弃了人们保护自己财产的自由;因为马太效应,如果简单地给予一切人一如既往的同等机会,就相当于剥夺了历史和自然资源贫乏人群提升幸福的自由,导致贫富分化越来越严重,最终引发的社会崩溃也会让先天资源更优越的人们一起遭殃......
科学的发生认识论研究表明,人类在生长的特定历史阶段,是学习和发育的最佳时期。一旦错过,将影响其一生,并且难以弥补。所以,我们不允许任何家庭的孩子有不学习的自由,因为这将剥夺他们在未来追求更好生活和幸福的自由。
我们不允许任何人有剥夺他人生命的自由,因为只有这样,全社会的人们才能有效地获得生存的自由。
我们不允许任何人有侵占他人财产的自由,因为只有这样,人们的财产不受侵犯的自由才能得到确保。
我们不允许疫情期间有不带口罩上大街的自由,因为只有这样,才能确保全社会的人们有获得健康的自由。
我们不允许在共同富裕的道路上有任何人掉队,因为只有这样,共同富裕才能真正成为现实,而不是停留于一个政治口号。
......
一切真正的、可以使人类获得幸福的自由,都必然是通过对另外某些自由的放弃和约束而获得的 —— 阴在阳之内,不在阳之对。
更好的社会制度,就是比其他社会更少地放弃和约束自由,从而能够以更少的自由约束成本来获得更多自由的满足。当然,这种约束并不是绝对和一成不变的,随着社会科技经济发展水平的不同,可以更有条件减少对自由的约束,也不排除在遇到自然灾害和战争等特殊时期临时增加对自由的约束。
当你宣扬任何自由的时候,都必然意味和潜藏着对另外自由的抑制。因此,如果在宣扬的时候刻意隐瞒所必然放弃的,对它不透明,事实上就只能是让少数拥有现实资源优势的人的自由得到满足,而危害其他大多数人的自由。
更好的社会制度,就是更懂得对自由的取舍,并且使这种取舍更为透明、公正与合理。所以,不要只告诉我们崇尚的自由是什么,而且更需要告诉我们同时必然放弃和抑制的自由是什么。这才是进行比较的关键所在。
我们从来不否认选票是行使民主和自由权力的良好途径之一。但是,正因为民主和自由的权力对人民是如此地神圣和重要,我们并不认为仅仅靠一张四年才能使用一次的选票就足以承载如此重大的使命,那还差得太远太远。况且,无论是18世纪孔多塞的投票悖论,还是20世纪的阿罗不可能定理,早就从科学上严格证明了投票方式在基本原理(而不是技术)上就存在天然的缺陷。阿马尔蒂亚·森被认为有效解决了这些难题。但是,那只是极其简单的3个及以上候选方案就可能存在的问题,一个社会怎么可能只是这样简单的偏好模型选择所能表达?西方世界对这些投票的基本科学问题完全熟视无睹,因为美国的解决方法更简单粗暴,只有民主党和共和党两个候选者,严格阻止第三个候选者出现,怎么可能会出现投票悖论?所有那些对民主的学术研究基本都还只是要让选举投出一个结果,但能投出结果就一定能解决问题吗?如果共和党与民主党都不会修高铁,无论你把选票投给谁都解决不了实际问题。
正如我们承认三角函数是重要的数学知识,但它肯定远远不能代表整个数学空间,不能替代微积分、线性代数、算子理论、数论、数理逻辑……今天,数学的世界已经是如此地丰富与精致,如果仅用三角函数就去替代整个数学世界,那将是多么地荒唐、落后与愚昧。况且,是经过选举人票过度压缩后的一张选票。人民的民主和自由,不是只在四年体现一次,而是需要更充分地体现在每一年、每一天、每一件工作和事务上。只有这样,体现人民需要的极其丰富的信息量,才可能有足够的带宽得到充分的传递。
今天的世界,地球村的公民们并不是要在民主与专制之间做出抉择,而是需要在更为先进的、与时俱进的、更发达的、更科学的、更有效率的、更高版本的、更高信息带宽配置的新民主,与更为落后的、不思进取的、更衰败的、更愚昧的、更低效的、更低版本的、超低带宽配置的老民主之间做出历史的选择。为什么把民主的投票看得那么重,同时却又把信息带宽设置得这么低?就是要让你感觉民主权力好像得到行使了,但从信息量上看与完全没有民主权力基本没什么区别,同时还要花那么多、超过140亿美元的钱 —— 仅仅为了四年一个比特的信息量。在今天的5G时代,传递一个比特仅仅需要十亿分之一个美分。
纵观人类几千年的文明发展历史 —— 相信没有任何人能否认,中国远远比美国更有资格来讨论人类几千年的文明发展历史经验教训是什么 —— 谁能更全面地学习、继承全人类的科学文明成就,并在此基础上勇于创新,谁就能成为更文明、更发达、更繁荣、更先进、更强大的社会。谁固步自封,因循守旧,即使曾经辉煌无比,也会不断衰落和失去人心。
为了使人们充分理解今天的中国新民主特点,我们首先需要提醒一下全世界的人们充分注意到一点:马克思与恩格斯是欧洲人而不是中国人。我们吸取他们的科学理论,正如我们吸取和继承牛顿、胡克、伽利略、拉瓦锡、爱因斯坦、普朗克、特斯拉、爱迪生、居里夫人、门捷列夫、波波夫等等伟大的科学家、思想家、科技发明家的财富一样。三人行,则必有我师焉。海纳百川,有容乃大。我们高度地尊重和虔诚地继承包括美国人民在内的一切其他国家和民族的文明创造,正如我们继承中华文明自身的伟大文明成就一样地虔诚。我们继承人类创造的一切精华,并将他们有机地融为一体,这就是中国特色社会主义的来历。这是一个全新的,代表了全人类最先进文化与理念,努力去实现全人类一切最伟大理想和梦想的社会。
我们曾经是文明古国,是近代科学文明的最早源头之一,与古埃及文明,古巴比伦文明,古印度文明一起哺育了古希腊与近代科学文明的兴起。事实上,工业文明波浪最原始的浪头就是在中国和阿拉伯世界兴起,而后一波接一波地大致从东向西传递,引发大翻译运动、文艺复兴、工业革命等等,绕地球一圈之后,今天重新回到其最早源头之一的中国,这也是历史的必然。
忆往夕,中国为工业文明的产生所做出的贡献远远不是四大发明所能包含的。
展未来,我们还将为人类做出更为宏大的贡献与创新。
过去,工业文明之所以有这种波浪模型的规律,正是学习和继承的过程,最容易发生在相邻并且有更大文明落差的国家所致。一旦我们明白了工业文明这一核心规律,将开放、学习和继承变成一种长久制度,就可以从必然王国走向自由王国。
在未来,我们会永远保持这种谦逊、虔诚、学习和创新的态度,这不仅仅是因为我们拥有最高尚的道德与情操,也是因为从几千年惨痛的历史教训中深刻领悟到,这是保持自身长久繁荣的唯一途径。美国还没有这种历史教训,我们并不希望他们用惨痛的未来去重复这一过程。这也正是今天的中国能够傲立于世界的信心和原因所在。
有一些学者曾对中国社会的合法性问题提出过疑问,在此我们将给出纯粹科学的解答:一切法律都是人制定的。如果行为与法律之间不一致,可以调整行为去符合法律,也可以调整法律来符合人的行为。只要人的行为与法律相互一致,那么就是合法的。但它们合理吗?却不一定。如果法律规定吸毒是不合法的,那么吸毒的行为就是不合法的。如果法律规定吸毒是合法的,那么吸毒的行为就是合法的。但吸毒合理吗?这本质上就不是合法性所能解决的问题。任何一个社会都拥有制定法律的权力,那么从纯理论上说,没有什么比满足合法性更简单、更容易的事情了 —— 只要制定与现存的行为全都是相符合的法律就足够了。但真正重要的问题是:一个社会是否合理,并且以什么标准来判断和检验它是否合理。只有正确地提出问题,才有可能获得正确的答案。
根据公理三,只有科学才是解答一切问题的唯一途径和标准。根据科学的标准,测量基础是什么?目的是什么?如何通过对结果的科学测量,来判断它是否满足目的。这就是判断合理性终极的和唯一正确的依据。美国民主的测量基础是什么?答案是“没有”,或者更准确点说:根本就没想过这个问题,就算偶然有了也没放在心上。一个缺少测量基础的社会制度有可能是科学和合理的吗?答案是“绝对不可能”。
除了用科学的方法和语言所做出的理解之外,其他一切解释都是需要用奥卡姆剃刀切除的多余之物。
我们可以比美国更好地带领全人类走向共同富裕的道路,这就是一带一路的唯一目的,它也更有利于我们自己长久稳定的发展。因为除了更发达的国家,我们1个人只需要带动另外3.7个发展中国家的人民,而美国1个人需要带动15.5个 —— 况且他们还未必真有这个心思。
不仅如此,我们也会通过公平的市场交易,使发达国家的人民也都获得更好的生活条件,更多的工作岗位,更多的生意机会,用更经济的成本、享受到更先进、对生态更友好的科技成就。在过去的几十年里,我们一直就是这么做的。并且,古丝绸之路证明:通过与他国公平的贸易来获得互惠的利益,是中国延续上千年的传统。中国历史上没有发放过一张私掠船牌照,也从来没有对外通过战争和金融霸权等掠夺方式来获得财富的习惯。
尽管中国在近代遭受众多屈辱的历史,但我们从苦难中发现了欧洲近代科学与工业革命的新知,从日本全面学习了近代科学,从苏联系统继承了社会主义的思想与现代工业化的体系,在改革开放后从美国等发达国家全面继承了信息化时代的最新科学技术、管理知识。但是,中国在继承的同时,就在不断地为人类科学文明的共同财富贡献自己的聪明才智和大量的创新。
欧洲社会主义的先驱者们用科学的方法寻求解救最低层工人阶级的命运,在中国不断进化为工农联盟,为人民服务,人民民主协商,代表最大多数人民的根本利益,全心全意为人民服务的初心……人民,是包括所有合法公民在内的人群。因此,我们并不认为中国的民主与其他国家的民主有多么天壤之别的差异,更不认为他们之间是完全对立的。区别并不在于是否为民主,而在于其科学性与执行结果的效率,自我创新和进化的能力。
在美国华盛顿广场上,只为两位总统修建了大型纪念设施,一个是华盛顿纪念碑,另一个是林肯纪念堂。林肯的三民主义:为民而有,为民而治,为民而享,通过孙中山的三民主义而深入了近代中国人的骨髓。令人遗憾的是,林肯的伟大理想随着华盛顿福特剧院总统包厢里的一声枪响而停留在了1865年4月15日。1963年8月28日,马丁·路德·金在林肯的纪念堂前发表了著名的演说《我有一个梦》。今天,美国的黑人的确可以自由的上大街,但是,他们获得自由了吗?他们改变自己的命运了吗?没有,他们依然时常不能呼吸。
人民,并且只有人民,才是唯一普世的价值。也只有人民才是创造价值的动力和源泉。只有将人民作为唯一普世价值的社会,才有意愿和能力改变一切人的命运,使林肯和马丁·路德·金的理想与梦想真正变成现实。
科学,是满足人类民主与自由权力最重要的现实保证。幸福是靠符合科学规律的劳动创造出来,而不是靠动听的政治口号魔术般变化出来的。
根据能量守恒与质量守恒定律,即使几十万人上街所产生的能量,也远远不足以建成一条高速公路与高铁线路。
即使一万次电视辩论,也远远不足以建成一个5G网络。
即使两千三百万人的爱心,也并不足以比一座十万千瓦的小容量发电厂输出更多的能源。
……
只有通过切实地发展新能源科技,才能使双碳目标得到真正的实现。中国在太阳能、风能、水电、特高压输电、第四代核电、新能源汽车、节能技术、超超临界发电机组等科技领域竭尽全力的真诚投资,使全世界无数人受益,并且有效遏制了环境的恶化,也使中国自身在经济不断发展的同时,空气雾霾显著地降低。而那些空洞的环保政治口号,早已经使人们越来越感到失望、厌烦与愤怒。
根据我们科学的经济学研究证明,并不存在一个能够自动实现社会福利最优化的市场机制。这一规律的发现其实显而易见,因为没有任何科学的规律是可以自动实现人类社会的福利,更不可能是自动达到最优,科学的经济规律同样必然如此。电子科学的规律可以实现大量的计算、电子测量与电力能源,也可以雷电或高压触电方式致人于死地。水的势能可以成为水电站为人类输送能源,也可以通过洪灾毁灭人类的家园……一切科技研发过程全都是在实现人类福利的同时,减弱或消除它们的负作用。人类社会的福利,是靠人类自身一点一滴的努力来实现,而不是完全寄希望于一个外在的机制。市场交易机制可以实现财富创造的更大化,也会具有贫富分化日益严重和环境污染的问题,这些需要我们主动努力才能去解决。
正因为如此,我们才需要一个拥有像德兰修女、雷峰那样无我境界,像莱布尼茨、罗巴切夫斯基、高斯、希尔伯特等杰出数学家那样理性与严谨,像瓦特、莱特兄弟、马斯克那样富于改变世界的宏伟雄心,像弟谷、法拉弟、焦尔、孟德尔、拉瓦锡那样只用科学的测量与实验工具去获得并检验世界的真知,像诺贝尔、陈嘉庚等伟大企业家那样的财富创造能力和社会奉献的群体。这就是中国共产党。我们尊重所有民族的不同宗教信仰和生活习惯,但是,我们拥有一个全新的信仰,这就是人民。这是作为人类有史以来最伟大的社会测量学家、军事测量学家的毛泽东最早为中国创立的。他像弟谷把测量引入天文学、伽利略把实验与测量引入物理学、拉瓦锡将测量引入化学、冯特将实验与测量引入心理学领域、达尔文将测量引入生物领域……一样,将科学测量方法第一次系统地、彻底地引入到社会与军事领域,这是他以及他所领导的团队之所以能够创造惊世伟业的原因所在。这不仅仅是中国的宝贵财富,也是世界和全人类的共同财富与幸运。这不仅仅是人类科学与工业文明很自然演进的结果,也是最初兴盛于欧洲的科学与工业革命与中国传统文化相结合的最重要成果之一。
人类社会在获得高度发达科技的同时,也在面临前所未有的危机与挑战。核武器使人类拥有了快速毁灭自身的能力;工业文明使财富高度增长的同时,伴随的环境污染有可能使我们的子孙后代难以生存;不同文化的冲突随时可能瞬间引发前所未有的、毁灭性的世界大战;新兴的科技快速增长、分支越来越细,远超出人类传统的理解和把握能力;人口增长、城市化以及现代化交通带来的交往高度频繁,使新冠这样的病毒及其变异毒珠成为难以消除的全球性灾难……
人类的历史正迫切呼唤全新的思维、全新的科学与教育体系、全新的社会机制、全新包容能力的文明去应对这样的挑战。这并不仅仅是某一个国家的事情,而是有赖于世界上每一个国家、每一个民族、每一个人共同努力才能去达成。
只有包容世界一切文明的精华,才能勇立于世界的潮头。只有勇于承载全人类的福祉,才有资格去引领人类未来的命运。
今天的中国人民不屑于隐瞒自己的观点和意图,就是要用科学的创新、勤奋的劳动、虚怀若谷的学习精神,去创造中国和世界更先进的新民主的未来。这是前人从来没有做过的极其光荣伟大的事业。
这是最后的斗争,全世界人民联合起来,让新民主的声音传递到地球和元宇宙的每一个角落。
我们的目的一定要达到,我们的目的一定能够达到!
The Declaration of New Democracy
WANG TAO
In the evening on November 23rd 2021, U.S. State Department announced a list of "participants" invited to the "Global Democracy Summit”. From December 9th to December 10th, the so-called "Democracy Summit" initiated by the United States will be held in the virtual form of video. President Biden invited leaders from 108 countries and/or governments to participate. The number of parties to participate the Summit totals up to 109 including the United States itself.
Needless to say, mankind today is facing great changes unprecedented in a century. No matter whether the two sides are willing to face it or admit it, China and the United States are practically "running for" the new presidency of the future world with the expectation from all mankind for his capability to lead us to a future with more peace and happiness. No matter how the term democracy can be possibly interpreted, there is at least one thing that is universally acknowledged: Persons qualified to vote shall not be determined entirely by candidates from one party. There are a total of 224 countries and regions in the world. In contrast, the total number of countries and regions invited to the Democracy Summit initiated by the United States is only 109. Does this mean that the United States has formally recognized that the remaining 114 votes belong to China and has officially declared its election defeat just at the beginning of their election campaign? As the United States continues to interfere China's internal affairs on the pretext of democracy, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that we should declare our understanding of the new democracy.
We hold that these truths to be self-evident:
Axiom i: All men are born unequal.
Due to objective differences in history and natural conditions, children born in poor families and those born in rich families are unequal. Additionally, those born in developed countries are unequal to those born in developing countries. Furthermore, those born in wars are not equal to those born in peace.
If all men are born equal, all democratic or other social systems will become redundant. It is precisely because that all men are born unequal that human beings have the desire and need to develop a good social system to effectively promote human equality, common prosperity and mutual development.
Axiom ii: The ultimate criterion for judging whether a social system is good or not is whether it can truly and effectively solve the problem of human inequality in practice.
If the criterion for evaluating a society is something unrelated to its results and facts, what else can it be? Is a social system with the death toll of millions of people better than one with the death toll of only thousands in the epidemic resulting from management by respective governments? Is a social system in which the police can kill a passer-by at will better than one in which anyone feels safe on the street at night? Is a country that invades other countries at will almost every year and kills thousands of civilians better than a country that practices "Do not do onto others what you do not want"? Is a social system that institutes lower taxes for the rich and higher taxes for the poor, and secures faster growth of wealth for the rich and relative or absolute poverty for the poor regardless of economic development status as good or bad better than a social system that makes every effort to pursue common prosperity for all members of the society and all mankind, and furthermore, takes it as its own belief and code of conduct?
If facts and results cannot become the ultimate criterion for evaluation, what truth can be expected by mankind?
Axiom iii: Science is the common wealth of all mankind and the common language that transcends all nations, all religions, all countries and all societies.
Science is not only the best way for mankind to understand the world and the most effective channel for mankind to understand each other, but also the best approach to change the society and the world, and the best access to true democracy and freedom for mankind. We extend our sincere gratitude to scientists, thinkers and intellectuals from all countries and nations for their outstanding contributions to science. They are the honor and pride of their nations and countries, as well as the honor and pride of all mankind.
Axiom iv: The law of the impossibility of freedom.
Demand for all aspects of human freedom cannot be satisfied at the same time. When one exercises the freedom to marry someone he/she loves, he/she gives up the freedom to love others. If robbers are allowed the freedom to rob others, it is equivalent to giving up the freedom of others to protect their own property. Because of the Matthew Effect, if everyone is offered the same opportunity available for him as much as he could possibly seize according to his social status in the past, it is equivalent to depriving freedom for the people who were poor in history and natural resources to improve their happiness, resulting in more and more serious confrontation between appalling poverty and great wealth. This would ultimately result in social collapse and bring about sufferings to those inherited with better resources...
Scientific genetic epistemology research indicates that the specific historical stage of human growth is the best period for learning and developing. Once the period is missed or spoiled, it will bring negative impact on his entire life. More importantly, it is difficult to make up. Therefore, we do not allow the children of any family the freedom to evade study, because this will deprive them of the freedom to pursue a better life and happiness in the future.
We do not allow anyone the freedom to deprive others of their lives, because only in this way can all people in the society effectively enjoy the freedom of survival.
We do not allow anyone the freedom to seize the property of others, because only in this way can people's freedom from infringement of property be ensured.
We do not allow people who have been infected with the virus to have the freedom to go to the street without masks, because only in this way can we ensure the freedom of health for all other healthy people in the society.
......
We do not allow anyone to fall behind on the road to common prosperity, because only in this way can common prosperity really become true, rather than dose a political slogan.
All real freedom leading to happiness for the mankind can only be enjoyed through giving up and restricting some other forms of freedom - Yin derives itself from and within Yang rather than from the opposite.
A better social system gives up and restricts less freedom than other systems do in return for more freedom at the cost of less constraint over it. Of course, such constraints are not absolute and invariable. In different stages of social, scientific, technological and economic development, there will be more measures to reduce the constraints on freedom in return for more freedom. However, this does not rule out temporary measures to increase constraints on freedom in special periods such as natural disasters and wars.
When you are preaching any forms of freedom, you are inevitably hiding the inhibition of freedom in other forms. If you are deliberately hiding what shall be inevitably given up and making it opaque to others, you are consequently securing the freedom for just few people who have the advantage of real resources at the cost of endangering the freedom of the large majority.
A better social system has a better understanding of the trade-off in freedom and make it more transparent, fair and reasonable. Therefore, please do not inform us the freedom we are preaching for only, but the freedom we must give up and inhibit inevitably. This is the key to a proper comparison.
Never did we deny that voting is one of the good practices to exercise democracy and freedom. However, the power of democracy and freedom is so sacred and important for the people that we cannot hold firmly that the one vote in four years is adequately enough to accomplish such a great mission. In fact, it is far from enough to have the vote only. Moreover, whether Condorcet's voting paradox in the 18th century or Arrow's impossibility theorem in the 20th century, it has long been scientifically and strictly proved that there are natural defects in the basic principle (rather than technology) of voting. Amartya Sen is considered to have effectively solved these problems. However, it is only a possible problem for three or more very simple candidate schemes. How can a society be expressed by such a simple choice of preference model? The western world completely turns a blind eye to these basic scientific issues of voting, because the solution of the United States is simpler and more rough. There are only two candidates of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, strictly prevent the emergence of the third candidate, How can there be a voting paradox? All those academic studies on democracy basically just make the election be able to votes a result, but can they certainly solve the problem if they can vote a result? If neither Republicans nor Democrats will build high-speed rail, no matter who you vote for, it will not solve the practical problem.
Our recognition for the importance of the trigonometric function in mathematical knowledge is a case in point. However, trigonometric function alone is certainly far from a proper representative of the realm of mathematics, or a proper replacement of calculus, linear algebra, operator theory, number theory and mathematical logic... The world of mathematics today is too rich and exquisite to be adequately represented by the trigonometric function only. How absurd, backward and ignorant it would be to replace the entire field of mathematics with trigonometric function alone. Moreover, it is a vote after excessive compression of electoral votes. Therefore, democracy and freedom of the people shall not be reflected by one vote in every four years, but more extensively in every year, every day, every piece of work and every routine. Only in this way can we have an extensive knowledge of demand from the people and transmit it through a bandwidth high enough to catering the demand completely.
In the world today, citizens of the global village are not expecting to make a choice between democracy and autocracy, but rather expecting a choice between a new democracy of a higher version configured with broad information bandwidth, a more advanced, more developed, more scientific, more efficient form of democracy that keeps pace with times and an old democracy of a lower version configured with supper-narrow information bandwidth , a more backward, more underdeveloped, more stupid, more inefficient form of democracy that lacks progress with times. Why take democratic voting so seriously, but set the information bandwidth so narrow? It is only to make you feel that democratic right seems to have been exercised, but in terms of the amount of information, it is basically no different from the complete absence of democratic right. At the same time, it also costs so much money, more than $14 billion, just for one bit of information in every four years. In today's 5G era, it only takes one billionth of a cent to transfer a bit.
With a general survey in the history of human civilization developed in thousands of years in the past, no one deny that China is far more qualified than the United States to discuss the experience and lessons in the development process of human civilization through thousands of years. A social system with the capability to adapt to learn more comprehensively, to inherit the achievements of scientific civilization of all mankind, and to have the courage for innovation on this basis has the prospect to become more civilized, more developed, more prosperous, more advanced, and more powerful. In contrast, a social system with complacent and conservative modes and acts tends to experience a continuous decline in its power and spiritual support from the public, even if it had once been brilliant and powerful.
To make people fully understand the characteristics of China's new democracy today, we need to remind people all over the world first that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are Europeans, rather than Chinese. We have been exploring and practicing their scientific theory just as we have been learning and inheriting the wealth of great scientists, thinkers and scientific and technological inventors as Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, Galileo Galilei, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, Albert Einstein, Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Alva Edison, Madame Curie, Дми́трий Ива́нович Менделе́ев and Александр Степанович Попов. In a group of three, there must someone from whom I can learn. In other words, as the sea embraces all rivers, the compatibility and tolerance contributes to its grandeur. We highly respect and piously inherit the civilization developed by people in all other nations and countries including the U.S. with the same pious just as we inherit the great civilization achievements of Chinese predecessors. We inherit the essence in all creations of mankind and integrate them together. This is the origin of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is a brand-new social system representing the most advanced culture and concept of all mankind and striving to realize all the greatest ideals and dreams of all mankind.
The place we are living now was in the past a birthplace of an ancient civilization and one of the earliest sources of modern science. Together with ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Babylonian civilization and ancient Indian civilization, we contributed to the rising of ancient Greece and modern scientific civilization. In fact, the most primitive round of industrial civilization started in ancient China and the Arab world, and then passed from the east to the west, triggered the great translation movement, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, etc. After spreading trip around the globe, it is now heading back to China today, one of its earliest sources. This return is also a historical necessity.
In a retrospective view, China's contribution to the emergence of industrial civilization was far beyond the scope of the four major inventions.
In a perspective view, China will make greater contributions and innovations to mankind.
The superficial wave mode characterized in the spreading and accepting process of industrial civilization in the past is deeply rooted in the process of learning and inheriting, which was most likely to occur in neighboring countries with a greater gap in civilization. Once we understand the core law for the spreading of industrial civilization and turn to opening, learning and inheriting into a long-term system, we are bond to the journey from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom.
In the future, we will eternally keep humility, piety, study and innovation with us. Not only because we have the highest standard in morality and sentiment, but also because we understand deeply from our painful history in thousands of years that this is the only way to maintain our own prosperity for a long-term. Although the United States had no historical lessons like this, we are not expecting them to be involved in such a painful experience in the future for repetition. This is also the confidence and reason why China can stand proudly and firmly in the world today.
Some scholars had questions over the legitimacy of Chinese society. Here we will give a purely scientific answer: All laws are made by people. If the behavior is pose to be inconsistent with the law, the behavior can be adjusted to comply with the law, or the law can be adjusted to comply with the behavior. As long as human behavior is consistent with the law, it is legal. But are they reasonable? Not necessarily. If the law stipulates that taking drugs is illegal, then taking drugs is illegal. If the law stipulates that taking drugs is legal, then taking drugs is legal. However, is taking drugs reasonable? It is in essence not a problem that can be solved with legitimacy. Any society has the power to make laws. From a pure theoretical perspective, nothing is simpler and easier than satisfying legitimacy - as long as it makes laws that are consistent with all existing behaviors. But the really important question is: Is a society reasonable? What is the criteria to judge and test it? Only through asking questions correctly can we get the right answers.
According to Axiom iii, science is the only approach and standard to solve all problems. In line with scientific standards, what is the basis of measurement? What is the purpose? How to pass judgement on whether the system serves the purpose through scientific measurement for the result? This is the ultimate and only correct basis for judgment with rationality. What is the measurement basis of American democracy? The answer is "No", or put it more accurately: This question has never been taken into consideration. Even if it came up to mind occasionally, it failed the focus of proper attention. Can a social system without measurement basis be scientific and reasonable? The answer is "Absolutely impossible".
Except for the understanding made in scientific methods and language, all other explanations are superfluous issues that need to be removed with the Ockham's Razor.
Leading all mankind to common prosperity is the ultimate purpose of the Belt and Road Initiative. Additionally, it is also more conducive to our own long-term and stable development. On this regard, we are a better leader than the U.S. Except for the people living in more developed countries, every one of us in average only need to lead 3.7 people living in other developing countries for the purpose of common prosperity. In contrast, every U.S. citizen need to lead 15.5 people living in other developing countries for the purpose of common prosperity. Furthermore, they may not be really interested in it.
Moreover, through fair transactions in market, we will enable the people living in developed countries to enjoy better living conditions, more jobs, more business opportunities, more advanced and eco-friendly scientific and technological achievements at more economical costs. That is what we have been doing for decades. Another, the ancient Silk Road proved that it has been China's tradition to conduct mutually beneficial business through fair trade with partners living in other countries for thousands of years. From a historical perspective, China never issued a license for privateering or obtained wealth through plundering methods such as war and financial hegemony.
Although China suffered many humiliations in modern times, we found astonishingly new knowledge of modern scientific and industrial revolution in Europe from our painful experience, learned comprehensively modern science from Japan, inherited systematically Socialism and modern industrialization from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and mastered extensively the latest science and technology as well as management science in the information age from the United States and other developed countries after reforming and opening up. In the process of inheriting, China has been constantly contributing its intelligence and innovations to the common wealth of human scientific civilization.
Socialist pioneers in Europe used scientific methods to save the lowest working class. Accordingly, socialist pioneers in China have constantly evolved in socialist practices and evolutions in forms as the Worker-Peasant Alliance, Serving the People, People's Democratic Consultation, Represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and the Original Aspiration of Serving the People wholeheartedly... The term people shall include all legitimate citizens. Therefore, we do not think that China's democracy is very different from that of other countries. Let alone that they are completely opposing. The difference does not lie in whether it is democracy, but in its scientific nature, the operation efficiency of implementation results, and the ability of self-innovation and evolution.
On the Washington Square in the U.S., there are only two large memorial facilities: the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial built for the two distinguished presidents. Lincoln's Three People's Principles: of the people, by the people, and for the people, rooted deeply into the hearts of modern Chinese through Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Three People's Principles. Unfortunately, Lincoln's great ideal stopped on April 15th, 1865 with the sound of a gun shot in the president's box at the Ford’s Theatre in Washington. On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King delivered the famous "I have a dream" speech in front of Lincoln's memorial hall. Today, blacks in the United States are free to go to the streets, but have they been free? Have they changed their fate? No, they still can't breathe often.
It is the people, and the people only, who has the universal value. It is only the people who has the driving force and source of creating value. Only a society that regards the people as the only universal value can have the will and ability to change the fate of all people, and truly turn the great ideals of Lincoln and the dreams of Martin Luther King into reality.
Science is the most important guarantee to meet human democracy and freedom from a practical approach. Happiness is created through labor in accordance with the laws of science, not through magic changes in beautiful rhetoric of political slogans.
According to the law of conservation of energy and mass, even the energy generated by hundreds of thousands of people in street demonstration is far from enough to build a highway and high-speed railway line.
Even the total energy generated out of 10000 TV debates is far from enough to build a 5G network.
Even the total energy generated out of love from 23 million people is not enough to output more energy than a 100000 kW small capacity power plant.
…
Only through the practical development of new energy technology can the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals be materially reached. China's investment with sincerity in solar energy, wind energy, hydro-power, UHV transmission, fourth generation nuclear power, new energy vehicles, energy-saving technology, ultra-supercritical generator sets and in other scientific and technological fields has benefited countless people around the world. This effectively curbed the deterioration of the environment accompanied with China's own growing economy. In contrast, those empty political rhetoric for environmental protection have already made people feel more and more disappointed, bored and angry.
According to our economic research in a scientific approach, there is no market mechanism that can automatically optimize social welfare. In fact, the rule unveiled in this law is obvious, because there is no scientific law that can automatically realize the welfare of human society. Let alone the automatic optimization. Similarly, the scientific economic law must be the same. The laws of electronic science can be properly used to accomplish intensive calculation, electronic measurement and power engineering. In contrast, it can also cause death through improper measures as lightning or high-voltage electric shock. The potential energy of water can be used as the driving force through a hydro-power station to generate electricity for mankind, or destroy homes through floods... In brief, all scientific and technological Research & Development are processes weakening or eliminating those negative effects while facilitating human welfare. Welfare of human society has been realized bit by bit through ceaseless efforts of mankind spent on it, rather than entirely through an external mechanism. Market trading mechanism can achieve greater wealth creation, but also have the problems of increasingly serious polarization between the rich and the poor as well as environmental pollution expecting our pro-active efforts for solutions.
For this reason, we need a team with selfless as Mother Teresa and Lei Feng, rational and rigorous as outstanding mathematicians Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Nikolas lvanovich Lobachevsky, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauß, and David Hilbert, ambitious aiming to change the world as James Watt, Wright brothers and Elon Musk, true knowledge exploration using scientific measurement and experimental tools to obtain and test the true knowledge of the world as Tycho Brahe, Michael Faraday, James Prescott Joule, Gregor Johann Mendel, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, and entrepreneurs with expertise in wealth creation and dedication in social responsibility as Alfred Bernhard Nobel and Chen Jiageng. This is the Communist Party of China. We respect the different religious beliefs and living habits of all ethnic groups, but we have a new faith, the people. As the greatest sociological measurement scientist and military measurement scientist in human history, Mao Zedong first founded it for China. He systematically and thoroughly introduced the scientific measurement method into the social and military fields for the first time, just as Tycho Brahe introduced measurement into astronomy, Galileo Galilei introduced experiment and measurement into physics, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier introduced measurement into chemistry, Wilhelm Wundt introduced experiment and measurement into psychology, Charles Robert Darwin introduced measurement into Biology. This is the reason why he and his team can accomplish amazing achievements. This is not only the precious wealth of China, but also the common wealth and luck of the world. This is not only the result of the natural evolution of human science and industrial civilization, but also one of the most important achievements in the integration of the scientific and industrial revolution initially flourished in Europe with Chinese traditional culture.
While acquiring highly developed sciences and technologies, mankind as a specie in general is also facing unprecedented crises and challenges. Nuclear weapons enable mankind to destroy themselves quickly; While industrial civilization has increased wealth, the accompanying environmental pollution may make it difficult for our future generations to survive; Conflicts between different cultures may trigger an unprecedented and devastating World War at any time; Emerging science and technology is growing rapidly and its branches are becoming more and more detailed, which is far beyond the traditional understanding and cognitive ability of mankind; The highly frequent exchanges brought about by population growth, urbanization and modern transportation make the virus as COVID-19 and its mutant strains a global disaster difficult to eliminate…
There are urgent calls for new ideas, new scientific and educational systems, new social mechanisms and new civilizations with inclusivity to meet such challenges arising from human development. This is not just an issue for one country alone. Solution to this problem depends largely on the synergy of every country, every nation and every individual in the world.
Only by absorbing the essence of all civilizations in the world can we be brave in the world. Only when we have the courage to care the welfare of all mankind can we be qualified to lead the future destiny for mankind.
Today, the Chinese people disdain to conceal their views and intentions of creating a more advanced new democratic future for China and the world with scientific innovation, hard work and open-minded learning spirit. This is an extremely glorious and great cause that our predecessors have never done.
C'est la lutte finalefinale. People of all lands united to make the voice of new democracy heard everywhere on the globe and Metaverse。
Our goal must be achieved and our goal will be achieved!
