我认为中国发展目标的根基在于为人民谋发展。这一点非常重要。这不是梦,这是现实。我认为中国可以做到这点,因为它有独特的体制。

How can China get to that? I always say that there are some important elements. The first element that’s very critical is leadership. When the leadership takes a decision, that's taken seriously by everybody, by private sector, by media, by government. So you know the direction where you need to go.

中国如何实现发展?我一直说有几个重要因素。第一个关键因素是领导力。中国的领导层做出决策时,全民都认真参与其中,私有企业、媒体、政府都包括在内,所以你可以清楚了解国家的发展方向。

The second important element is education. I am doing a research, and I see that at least thirty percent of the income of families go to education. Not only formal education but after school, K12, everything. So that's very important. If you have money, you put money in education and that's different in Western society. Sometimes we take education for granted. We don't think that you need it. Many people say, because the competition in China is huge. But it doesn’t matter if he's in China or outside. You want to prepare. So the second element is education.

第二个因素,是教育。我在做一项调研,我发现中国家庭收入里,至少三成以上都投入到了教育之中。不仅是正规教育,还有课后辅导,基础教育等等。这很重要。中国家庭把钱花在教育上,这和西方社会不一样。西方人往往认为教育是理所当然的,不需要额外投入。很多人会说,这是因为中国的竞争压力很大。但无论在中国还是在国外,人都会面临竞争,人们总是希望有所准备。所以第二个因素是教育。

The third element is the faith that the population has in the government and in the system. The government plays an important role in terms of leadership, but plays a much more important role in terms of governance. So people understand where you want to go.

第三个因素是中国人对政府和体制的信念。政府发挥着重要的领导决策作用,也发挥着重要的治理职能。所以人们能了解政府的方向。
