Deng Xiao Peng can be a good model for such a non-aligned
movement. Leaders should be accountable, objective, willing to
sacrifice for the country and is accountable and self-less.
Deng has served his country with honour not for his own glory. Even
though he has all the power and influence to make himself the
supreme leader, he has set himself an example to be an objective
and self-less leader. Without him, China would be plunged into a
power struggle today and there will be no one to follow up with
modernisation for the good of their fellow citizens. Deng has shown
himself to be someone China needed at that crucial moment. He had
demonstrated high standard which future leaders found difficult to
ignore. He had found a team to take China higher and let other more
capable person take over.
Pay and self-reward is not Deng's major consideration. A leader of
course needs pay not soya sauce or a few vegetables so that he can
survive with reasonable health or dignity. It is a fallacy to say
that leaders must be talents who must be paid the highest salaries.
This kind of assumption is too simplistic and has no basis as
explained in other thread.
I think the very day our leaders changed their early self-less
devotion philosophy to self-adulations and self-rewards,
considering themselves the talents and paying themselves the
highest pays, one of the main pillars of our nation has got slanted
and we had begun to experience that sinking sensation.
Despite all the superlative efforts of leadership and talents we
are today still struggling from that wrong policy decision. Only a
major movement will help to address that fundamental error.
