Trades people should be paid more based on their work. In western countries, tradesperson like tilers, plumbers, electricians earn big bucks because of the hourly rate and the work available. I’m sure the market will pay good rates for good artisans in the future as the Chinese economy focuses more on domestic consumption rather than depend on export led trade.

If the AIDS prostitute has a well tiled bathroom, then your point demands further investigation.

Nothing like better than bareback riding an AIDS skank to relax after a hard day’s work, eh :)

The concept of ‘harmonious society’ isnt based on the wishful thinking of western liberals/communists/hippies, but on the confucian philosophy.
And in a confucian system, harmony only comes through a rigid, well organized system of obedience and loyalty. A trade union whose whole purpose it is to be at odds with the entrepreneurs, to be at a constant opposition to the entrepreneurs, is everything beside ‘harmonic’ in the confucian way of thinking. Trade unions are more an idea that was born out of the constant rebellion of the masses against the capitalist system in the west. Communism in general is an rebellious idea. Rebellion is not harmony. Obviously.

And rebellions are something the confucian communists of the river-crab dynasty hates the most.

Intellectual fallacy.

Without the leaders opening up the entire system and economy to allow such hard-working mens to do their jobs, the economic miracle also cannot come true.

Just look at the Soviet Union and the DDR (East Germany) – skilled workforce and hard working people, but a shit system and crappy organisation/leadership = no economic miracle.

Deng Xiaoping is to be respected as much as this guy.
