https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUrLAFXAB3kHow China is dealing the Minority Race Issue?
Official A: "I am in charge of helping the minority citizens in my district to become moderately wealthy by 2020. Their average income is USD8,000 per annum now. The goal is to increase that number to USD10,000 in two years.
Official B: "You have the database. The Government is willing to deposit money directly into the Bank Accounts of the minority citizens. What is the problem?"
Official A: "I want to do more Meaningful Economic Activities. I want the minority citizens to feel self-confident. I want them to feel that they earn the money via their own efforts. The most popular approach is to turn the district to Tourist Attractions. I can spend money to build Top Notch Village Hotels. I can train many citizens to performers, cooks, tour guides, store owners etc. But I want to innovate."
Official B: "Use the Internet. Have a Competition to get the best ideas."
When Officials are motivated in this way, how can China be poor?

http://www.oecd.org/social/promoting-a-fair-and-sustainable-welfare-system-in-china.htmThat speech in 2014 was outdated. China started to focus on reforming its welfare system then but the pace is at "China Speed". Every Citizen will be moderately wealthy by 2020?
*** Some comments from the OBOR seminar yesterday
Comment 1: "
The progress of the West was due to technology. Now the East is learning and catching up. If there were no wars, the Asians, the South Americans and the Africans will catch up quickly. The OBOR initiative will help."
Comment 2: "
Physics is Physics. India, Pakistan, North Korea etc. can learn Physics. They can build the nuclear bombs and missiles without outside help."
Comment 3: "The West thought that they could
just print thin-air money and get China and other Nations to produce goods for them. They told the Asian Nations that export was the key. But they passed on the technology - how to mass produce grain, clothes, household appliances, cars, sky scrapers, Internet etc. The larger Asian population provided the Market. Export was not necessary to provide economic growth. India is a good example."
Comment 4: "The West promoted religion.
They said the life after this would be better. But they do not believe it themselves. The missionaries provided many social services including schools, health care etc. at one time. But now all such services are deemed government responsibilities.
The Government is responsible to make life better for the citizens now - not in the next life."
Comment 5: "The West, especially USA, is responsible for the conflicts and regional wars - not the ISIS or terrorists.
Just hope that USA would not start another Korean War. The World will be much more peaceful if the US troops go back to USA and make USA great again within USA. They can make iPhones, movies and innovative gadgets. Do not outsource. Tell the Multi-national Companies not to make easy money by using the cheap labor of other Nations."
Comment 6: "Tell China to cut back its over-capacity. Do not use the over-capacity to help other OBOR Nations rich. Do not print thin-air RMB. Stick with thin-air USD. Send hackers to disrupt the Internet until people lose confidence in using it. Tell farmers to use ox rather than tractors to plough the land.
Do not use fertilizers or insecticides."
