Why do Chinese political leaders have engineering degrees whereas their American counterparts have law degrees?
Eric Verhulst
Having
visited China often (when doing business), my understanding is that
China has actually never been really communist. If one looks over a
period of the last 2000 to 3000 years, the communist decades were a blip
on the history line, more like a correction mechanism after the
Imperial system had lost its grip and power.
The
underlying philosophy is that China has always been and still is a
Confucian system, i.e. a technocracy. It might not be a democracy as in
the West (where democracy often doesn't work because it has turned into
system of greed) but they carefully replace the leaders every few years.
They have a very long term planning, actually 60 years (12 plans of 5
years). These plans are not like the detailed Soviet central planning
but more like a business plan whereby the execution is left to a highly
competitive free market. The Chinese are also very good organizers.
Look
at how quickly they built their high speed train network. I have seen
cases whereby a 30 km highway was refurbished over a WE. The same would
have taken 1 or 2 years in Europe.
I think that in general, running a
country should be more a management/engineering job than a political
one. Lawyers should only help to create an ethical/moral framework.
Beware if they write laws that benefit political interest groups.
