Shang and Dialogue Blair: a Contractor's "Critique of Chinese Education"

This paper is the Chairman of the Board of Shang group and a dialogue with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, July 25 in Guangzhou. Shanjia said, "The university blindly expands, the education monopoly, constructs the university everywhere, I thought, this is the crime for posterity." "You may not agree with all of Shanjia's views, even his logic is far from rigorous." However, since the "China's largest contractor" has issued his "education criticism", you also listen to chant. Here's the Shang and the dialogue with Blair: Shang and: We people suffer from insufficient time and some words that have no time to speak. Mr Blair asked me if I could give him some questions in advance, but the question I asked today was to play on the scene, and I wanted to talk to Mr. Blair about 6 questions. (first question) the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, left the reinforced concrete, the reinforced concrete itself is the city pollution, while the London Olympic Games has restored a primitive ancient London, what do you think of this problem? Blair: First of all, thank you for inviting me to participate in this event, thank you for your on-the-spot play these questions, I like this way. I hope the Chinese guests here can be kind to me, and my meetings in the UK are often asked by them for very difficult questions. 2008 Olympic Games is a great feat, I and my family to Beijing to see the Olympic Games, we also enjoy the journey in Beijing. The Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2012 Olympic Games are different. In the past, London is famous for its pollution, it is clean now, the environment pollution in Beijing is very bad, they will change themselves slowly like London, I believe, China's leaders have already attached great importance to this. I know that the 2012 London and the former pollution is completely different, I also believe that Beijing will be completely dissimilar. Shang and: Our generation will always die, our future generations to develop space (become limited), we in order to earn GDP, some resources run out. The best car in the world is Rolls-Royce, why did the British sell rolls? Blair: Good question, I think the reason is that we believe that attracting foreign investment is very meaningful, because our management can draw on the experience of foreign investment and management philosophy, the reality is that Britain's employment is growing, the British economy is growing, we are now living in a globalized world, In fact, the ownership of the company in which the hands of the country is not important, the important thing is to increase employment, we discussed this, some people will disagree, why the Rolls-Royce brand sold to the Germans? We can create more jobs and boost investment, but as the world continues to evolve, there must be more companies with cross-border ownership, and we should focus all our attention on the quality of management, the quality of our products, how the skills of our employees improve, and how we increase our investment opportunities. Shang and: I from China's reform and opening-up to communicate with you, 1840, the United Kingdom defeated Us, 1842 (signed) "Nanjing Treaty", Shanghai No 1842 years of humiliation can have today's Shanghai, not aA series of treaties, there are today's Hong Kong and Macao. Selling Rolls-Royce and Land Rover, not looking at these products, consuming resources, London's pillar industry is education, 0 pollution and zero emissions, many people go to London to receive education. We Chinese people drink water and electricity, our car burning oil than the United States 31% higher than the U.S. The cost of Chinese bank credit is 3 times times that of Europe and America, our bridge tolls are 5 times times that of Europe and America, why not let go? Only China railway, which made a mess of Chinese architecture, is better and more competitive. We are not opposed to state-owned enterprises, like airlines do a good job, no corruption of the soil, competition is too cruel, monopoly of the industry is not competitive, clean? Is there some corruption that is related to monopolies? Here's a question I'd like to talk to Mr. Blair Britain and even Europe in all developed countries, the ratio of the university is generally not more than 65%, 60% are learning professional skills, come out to find work, are enterprises to rob the school, and now, China (students) is have gone to college, but do these skills alive, We can not find 10,000 yuan people, now college students can not find a job? Blind expansion, the monopoly of education, and the construction of universities everywhere, I think, is a crime against future generations. Now the university students can not find a job, a university student even a peasant worker is inferior. Aren't we worth rethinking? A big labor resource to import labor, we have a large number of industries have to go out, our labor costs are too high, the quality of labor in Eastern Europe is much better than ours, but much cheaper than us, we can not do without manufacturing, processing, now some people want to leave, China's economy how sustainable development, All these sins are caused by education, the Ministry of Education ministers do not understand the economy, to the market to carry out education, Confucius said in accordance with their aptitude, so London's education worthy of Chinese learning. Let me ask you a question. I was a contractor for the last six months, and now is the eldest of a top 500 company. Of course, I went to the European market, internationalization, had to enter the top 500. We want to be in the education (and Anglo-American) deep cooperation, there is such a demand, do not know if Mr Blair can matchmaking, let the British and American children to study in China? I do not know whether you support our opinion, hope you can give us support. Blair: You speak very well, passionate, I like your expression very much, we hope to support more European and American students come to China to study. The important thing about the education system is that a good education teaches people how to be more creative, not to learn some innate knowledge. My son is 14 years old, I see the pattern of his study, all the information on the Internet are available, but, more to learn is how to use the information on the hands to become creative, global change is particularly fast, when the pace of change in the world so fast, our country, companies, people must change, If the whole mindset is creative, the change will be smoother and new ideas can be built every day. otherwise，We will live forever in this kind of creative past world. This is the current trend, for any country's education, this is a very important link. Education itself requires us to think about the education system, how to face the future, how to deal with the future life in a new way, which is very important. This is why the process of China's reform and opening-up is particularly important to the world. We look back 30 years ago, or 25 years ago when I came to China (compared), reform and opening-up is our biggest step, put China on the world stage, solve so many people's life problems, to liberate them from poverty. How to change our perceptions at the root of the matter is the most important thing the government can do for its people. Shang and: I think China's biggest failure is the failure of China's education, the Chinese economy has caused fatal harm, education has failed to fail, the primary school, middle school, university, learning physics cost us a lot of energy, now 99% of people use (this knowledge)? "Homogenization education", a country and national competition, is not homogeneous, is personalized, the United Kingdom (worthwhile) Let us do a good study. I am confident that our education will allow us to have education, at least the social sciences can do world-class. The future business school should be a successful businessman, which is the side effect of the (successful businessman). Question fourth, Europe, Germany, we went to a Central European forum last year, at the end of 2012, a lot of guests came, I said that the rapid rise of Japan's manufacturing industry, has long surpassed the United States, France, why not Germany. What do you think? Blair: I think Germany's post-war rise has been particularly strong, and today, Germany's success is based on industrial structure, technology and research and development of the industrial tradition, they are very powerful, and, I think Germany now a strong industry, the current German industrial situation. Of course, it is not just some of the changes in the industrial structure that ensure the continuous development of the industry. In the 80 's, the world's most popular Japanese cars, my view is very simple, all countries must cater to this change, the process is continuous. In the UK, there may be no way to compare the industry with Germany, but the financial system is much stronger than Germany, but if we do not actively reform, we will certainly lag behind, this is the past so many years to learn the objective facts. We have seen a great change in the top 500 today. The top 20 and 50 companies, we look at these companies, probably 30 (ago) without their names, which means that no matter what country and region in the world, change is going to happen, we either change, we become more modern, Or they will be overtaken by others, both for Germany, for Britain, and for China. Shang and: August (I want) to Europe, Oxford University invitation, has been received, I hope we will do a (Exchange) at Oxford University. We can relax and talk about the problems of life, emotionalQuestion, life question, do you agree? Blair: Thank you very much for your gracious invitation, I would like to be happy to meet you at Oxford University, I am also a university in Oxford University, I do not have a suit when I was in college, for all of you here, the world is not the same as before, and we need to be profoundly aware that when I was a university in the 70, There are no social groups, no social tools, no smartphone and video communications equipment, I was a rock band playing rock music, basically wear jeans, long hair fluttering. I didn't leave any work at that time, and I thought if I left some pictures at that time, I might not be able to come here as a former British prime minister.
