Atlantis in bits

Always found many people published some unreasonable articles on Internet expressing strong disapproval or charge of current China society. Sometimes, or even in most cases, these people include writers and reporters who have much more influence on people. And many users on Internet haven’t had the sense of responsibility that they should be responsible for what they said and what they posted.

Today, People’s Bank of China announced that China will raise the reserve requirement ratio by half a percentage point for commercial banks in an effort to cool the booming economy, and it will take effect from Nov. 26. I read this news on Sina Finance (in Chinese) and was very curious on the discussion on this news. So I clicked the links and entered the discussion board. However, what I see surprised me a lot. Actually, I expected some professional discussions on this finance move, but at that time this board was full of condemns on the society. Those users didn’t understand the real meanings of this move but always believed this move was harmful to them. Some discussions are translated and listed below:

Money becomes more and more valueless, how can we live. (Actually, we know, this move will decrease the liquidity)

Notes are being produced ceaselessly. This move is just shown to our common people, telling us they are working.

I have no idea why these people are wild about publishing such posts. Actually, the revolution and opening has already made our life much better, though the polarization became a little higher (Probably, it is because that common people in China possess a psychology that they have no fear of the poverty but the equality). We should recognize that our government are taking steps. Be easy and generous to everything, I believe it will make us much happier and optimistic.

I watched a podcast from BBC News. It’s about China’s one child policy. Before this, I have also seen lots of reports from western media criticising this policy. All the reports focused on how the policy “damage” peoples and how the government execute this policy. I dont’t want to give more comments to this policy, actualy I side with the policy.
But the podcast that I watched yesterday gave some very amazing information. It said that in some villages in China, many people take one kind of drugs to evade abiding this policy. This kind of drugs can increase the posibility of having twins, which is a allowed way to get more than one child.
Actually, I can’t understand why so many poor villagers want to give birth to another child, even with drugs which probably have some damages to their children. In fact, children will definitly become a big burden to these poor families. If you can’t give your children a better life, why do you make them born? If I can’t give my child a affluent life, I will not have any child. That’s the resposibility!
