Chapter 184: Give way to each one
※Not a day. The first cangti meeting of the Quartet Brain Meeting was officially held because of the closed-door meeting of the six drugs, so the reporters could only wait outside the venue, and asked a few questions that the whole world was concerned about when the participants entered the venue.
The meeting lasted from 8 o'clock to the mouth point, except for lunch, there were only 3 breaks in the middle.
At noon, a U.S. official, who did not want to be named, told the media during his lunch break that no substantive progress had been made at the meeting, and that the four sides still had serious differences on India's post-war issues, mainly the Chinese president's reluctance to make substantive commitments to India's political system.
As soon as this news was reported, it immediately attracted global attention.
Having already talked about India's political system, the progress of the Quadripartite Brain Meeting is still quite large. You know, the most pressing issue is not India's political system. It is a question of the survival and development of hundreds of millions of Indians, and the stability of India after the war. Without these two premises, there is no political system at all. Now that the Quadripartite Brain Meeting has already touched on the issue of the political system, it shows that an agreement has been reached on two premises.
In fact, the reports are simply false.
In the afternoon of the same day. Jiao Kuishan held a press conference at the Embassy of the Republic of China in Moscow and briefed hundreds of reporters from all over the world on the daytime meeting. The main discussion of the Quartet was the issue of humanitarian aid, and because the United States insisted on binding humanitarian aid to India's political system, the meeting did not make much progress. In response to a reporter's question, Jiao Yushan made it clear that the Republic is committed to building a peaceful, stable, prosperous, equal, and democratic India, and attaches great importance to India's human rights, and the right to life is the greatest human right. In the end, Jiao Panshan has not forgotten the most important thing, which is to call on all peace-loving people to attach great importance to the human rights issue in India, help the hundreds of millions of Indians out of the disaster, and provide the humanitarian assistance needed to rebuild their homes.
At the time of the press conference in Jiaoweishan, officials from the United States, the European Union and Russia also held a press conference.
Although the rhetoric is not identical, the main problem has been revealed. At a time when the head of the Republic, Yuan Qing, actively advocated that the issue of humanitarian assistance be discussed first, both the European Union and Russia actively supported it. Only U.S. President Brand's insistence on discussing India's political system first led to a fruitless day-long brainstorm.
Human rights first. Or politics first?
Although at the press conference, the US presidential press spokesman repeatedly stressed that there is no rational political system. Instead of benefiting hundreds of millions of Indians, humanitarian aid will become a tool for a small number of people in power to enslave the Indian people, and democratic political institutions must be established to effectively guarantee the human rights of the 700 million Indians. But this theory is simply untenable, because humanitarian aid is imminent, and it takes enough time to establish a political system, and you can't wait until more than half of the hundreds of millions of Indians are starving to death before providing humanitarian aid, right?
Of course, the idea of the United States is quite understandable.
According to Al Jazeera's comments on the U.S. remarks, because the U.S. is the country most capable of providing humanitarian aid to India, but India is under the control of the republic, the U.S. has tied humanitarian aid to the political system in order to make concessions to the republic, and the U.S. will control India.
I have to admit that Al Jazeera's comments are three-pointed.
Herein lies the question, will the republic allow the United States to control Indian politics?
The United States does not want to give money in vain, the Republic does not want India to fall into the hands of the United States again, and neither side is willing to compromise, and there will be no result of the Quadripartite Brain Meeting.
Hope has not been broken, as long as the meeting is not over. There is a possibility of a compromise agreement.
That same evening. Wang Yuanqing met with Brandino alone.
Face this president, who has been hailed as America's best statesman. Wang Yuanqing didn't feel at all how good Blanqinuo was. Of course, Wang Yuanqing did not despise Blandino, but in the American political arena. From the president to the parliamentarians, there is no one who does not serve interest groups. Fundamentally speaking, Wang Yuanqing does not feel that there is a problem with the political system in the United States. As a government elected by the people. It is supposed to serve interest groups that represent the population. Although in the eyes of the outside world, the largest interest group in the United States is the major enterprises represented by the American consortium, but the change of pounds. From a point of view, tens of millions of American workers have a very close relationship with companies, and in many cases, they protect the interests of enterprises. It is to safeguard the interests of workers. What's more, American workers also have their own interest groups. That is, trade unions in all walks of life. Take, for example, the United States Iron and Steel General Union. The union has about 10,000 members, and it is one of the largest trade unions in the United States, and if either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party wants to enter the White House, they must curry favor with the union, and then serve the union and serve the workers. Putting aside prejudices about the United States, no one denies that the United States has the most complete democratic system, and there are many aspects that other countries can learn from.
In fact. Wang Yuanqing is also learning.
In carrying out political reform in the republic, Wang Yuanqing's ultimate goal is to establish a democratic political system in the republic. Let the government be the government of the citizens, and the government of the citizens to safeguard the interests of the citizens. Leaving aside for the time being whether the "separation of powers" system in the United States can be promoted in the Republic, if the government wants to serve the people, it is necessary to let the people have the right to choose the government. Only by betraying the power of the government can it sincerely serve the people and become the spokesperson for the interests of the people. And for the people to hold this power, they have to choose the government through elections. In order to prevent the government from abusing its executive power. It is also necessary to give the people the power to veto the executive. The most effective way is to leave the legislative power to the people, and the elected parliamentarians of the people will determine the basic rules of the game for the country and society. In order to ensure that the law is respected and respected by all members of society, including the Government, it is certain that the Government cannot control the measure of the law, and the judiciary must be independent. Because the law has its own special characteristics, the vast majority of the people do not have the ability to enforce the law, and it is impossible for everyone to participate in the implementation of the law, so while maintaining the independence of the judiciary, it is necessary to form a restraining force, that is, both the government and the parliament have the power to influence the judiciary. And it has to be done
Weigh.
Thus. Democracy is not just a system, it is the basic rules of the game in society.
Wang Yuanqing worked hard for many years, only separating the executive from the legislature. Political reform is far from complete. As he envisioned. The democratic system of the republic cannot be the same as that of the United States, after all, the political system has a lot to do with cultural traditions and civic consciousness, and the cultural traditions of the republic and the United States are completely different. The sense of citizenship also varies greatly, so it is impossible to replicate the democratic system of the United States, and it is necessary to establish a democratic system suited to the national conditions of the republic. But no matter what, the core of democracy will not change: that is, citizens are the masters of their own affairs, and citizens determine the future of the country.
In fact. All the efforts made by Wang Yuanqing are to limit the government's power to the greatest extent.
Political reform has come to this day, and there is one thing that Wang Yuanqing has not touched, that is, the huge power of the state of the republic.
When he saw Blandino, Wang Yuanqing was also very emotional.
If Brancono had the power of the state of the republic. Will the United States take a different path?
But on the other hand, if the president of the United States is powerful, is the United States still the United States?
When he was still working as a secretary for Ji Youguo, Concubine Yuanqing was thinking about this question: Should the head of the country have, or should he have the power to decide the fate of the entire country?
No doubt. Neither Ji Youguo nor Zhao Rundong gave an answer.
Although Wang Yuanqing can be like Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong. Leave the question to the next Yuan, but Wang Yuanqing knows that the Republic is already very lucky, no matter what others say about him, at least no one denies the merits of Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong, both of whom have dutifully completed the historical mission given by the country and the nation.
The question is, can the future of the country and the nation be placed on one person?
Or rather. How long can the republic be lucky?
No one can accurately predict the future, and neither can Wang Yuanqing.
Under the circumstance that no one can guarantee whether the future state will be able to fulfill the historical mission entrusted by the state and the nation with all its duties, it is necessary to use the system to restrain the power of the state and to hand over the fate of the country and the nation to every citizen, and the citizens will decide the future of the republic.
After the outbreak of the war in India, Wang Yuanqing has been thinking about this problem.
To a large extent, Rurajapani was a very good politician who put India on the right path. Although no one can deny the influence of external factors, especially US interest groups, who can deny that the loopholes in India's political system are the root cause of India's disaster?
Exactly. Wang Yuanqing hesitated.
The key to determining the success or failure of political reform is not whether citizens are the masters of the country, but whether the political system established is effective, whether it can ensure the long-term stability of the country, and whether it can allow citizens to truly control the power of the state.
When he met Blandino, Wang Yuanqing believed that the republic had no other choice.
The state must be restrained by the system!
Only no individual can change the rules of the game in society. Only when the vast majority of citizens have a political system that can formulate and revise the rules of the social game can democracy in the true sense.
Putting away some chaotic thoughts, Wang Yuanqing put his energy on the problem at hand.
"Your Excellency, before I became a politician, I greatly admired your predecessor, Yuan Ji Youguo, and even regarded him as an example to learn. It is undeniable that His Excellency Yuan has made significant achievements in political reform. I also believe that Your Excellency Yuan will be one of the most accomplished Yuan in the history of your country. Blandino's words were very polite, even a little excessive, and then he changed the conversation and said. It's just one thing that I don't understand. According to my understanding, Your Excellency has devoted your life to carrying out political reforms in your country, returning the government to the people, and giving your citizens the right to participate in national affairs, and it is an unprecedented right, so why can't Your Excellency put yourself in the shoes of the Indians and let the Indians determine India's political system? ”
Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, it seems that there is a big misunderstanding between us. ”
Blancheno frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand Wang Yuanqing's words.
After he finished speaking, Wang Yuanqing continued: "If your secretary of state did not misconvey the news, then Your Excellency the President should know that we have always advocated letting the Indians decide India's
come
How can India's future be decided? No doubt. A functioning democracy must be established in India. And not a dictatorship in the guise of democracy. Whenever we look forward, we have to look back at history, teach us, and avoid making the same mistakes. Is that really the case? Twenty years ago, a war that should not have changed our relations with India, but who can deny that in the following decade or so, our relations with India have made great progress, and there was even an opportunity to resolve differences through negotiations. The question is. Why did it end up being war again? Some of these reasons. I believe Your Excellency the President knows better than I do. I would like to emphasize one point, and that is that India's political system is inherently problematic, and if it were not for the restoration of traditional forces and the expulsion of new forces that advocate peaceful development from Indian politics, would there have been such a war? ”
"Regardless, India's national strategy is determined by the voters."
"Really?" Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Maybe Your Excellency the President doesn't know much about war fighting. According to Your Excellency, India's national policy is determined by the Indian electorate, and the overwhelming majority of Indian voters will support the war with our country if they support the war with our country. Is that really the case? So far, our army has not been subjected to large-scale attacks by the Indian population, and the occupied areas are very stable. Of course. The death of Lula is also telling. In fact, Indian civilians do not want war with our country, nor do they support hostility with our country. Why would India embark on the path of confrontation with us when the vast majority of Indian civilians do not support the war? It can only be shown that India's system is not perfect, and those in power are not elected by Indians, but the spokesmen of certain interest groups, even traitor groups. In front of the facts. Any rebuttal pales. Whether it was before, now, or after the war, I have great respect for the choices made by the Indians, and I also believe that as long as the Indians are given the opportunity to choose, India will embark on the road of peaceful development. ”
"What does Your Excellency mean that there will be a general election in India?"
"There is no doubt that neither I, nor His Excellency the President, nor anyone else, have the power or ability to determine the future of the 1.7 billion Indians." Wang Yuanqing paused slightly, and before he could finish his choice, he continued, "The premise is that the Indians must have the opportunity to choose. That is, they must be able to participate in the general election and cast their votes without any interference. In order to achieve this premise, we must first provide humanitarian assistance to India. Protecting Indians from hunger and disease. ”
"How can the latter be guaranteed?" Bran forced to seize Wang Yuanqing's loophole.
"A fair, just and open environment for general elections is a sine qua non. But before discussing this issue, it is incumbent upon any country that wishes to promote democracy in India to feed the Indian people. Let them vote with their brains, not their bellies. ”
Branzino frowned slightly, and said, "According to Your Excellency Yuan's intentions, the political system will only be discussed after the humanitarian aid is determined. ”
"For us, there's plenty of time." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Because we don't have to worry about survival, we can talk about it for a month, half a year, or a year, as long as we can negotiate." The results were no different.
But time is running out for Indians, and if humanitarian aid is not delivered as soon as possible, thousands of Indians will be threatened with death. When we talk about democracy, should we think about the Indians who are on the verge of death, and should we let them live until the day when the general election comes? ”
Bran's Forced Nuo was silent for a while, and then said, "I can fully understand what Your Excellency Yuan meant, but I need a realistic guarantee even more. ”
"Our country has made a guarantee for a long time." Wang Yuanqing paused slightly and said, "I also fully understand the difficulties of His Excellency the President, after all, this is not something that the two of us can decide. I believe it too. Not only does Your Excellency the President need a realistic assurance, but so do your country's taxpayers. That being the case, we can discuss humanitarian assistance and India's political system at the same time. The previous submission was that humanitarian assistance must be provided to India as soon as possible. For this. Our army will end a large-scale military operation within the year. That was my first pledge, and my request was simple: humanitarian relief would have to begin as soon as the large-scale military operation was over. The details can be negotiated by the diplomats of both sides. ”
Branso nodded slightly and said, "Because the political system is related to the future of India, I suggest that the Yuan meeting discuss this issue, and the humanitarian assistance should be handled by diplomats." ”
"No problem." Wang Yuanqing was not verbose and said, "As long as the EU and Russia do not object, we can formally discuss the issue of India's political system." Of course. I am also confident that His Excellency the President will dare to urge your country's diplomats, after all, humanitarian assistance is more urgent than the political system. ”
"There is no doubt that significant results will be achieved as well."
At the end of the meeting, although the two also held consultations on several trade issues related to the two countries, neither of them expressed sufficient sincerity in the context of the overall situation.
That same evening. The news of Wang Yuanqing's separate meeting with Blanqinuo spread.
In the case of concessions made by both the republic and the United States. The Quadripartite Brain Meeting once again ignited the flame of hope.
