“The polarization between rich and poor in Chinese society” is the first issue Wang Zhian focuses on. Wang Zhian believes that under the conditions of market economy, on the one hand, the wealth differentiation in the monetary sense is becoming more and more serious; on the other hand, in terms of the efficiency of the use of money, the wealth differentiation has become smaller. In the era of planned economy, the differentiation between rich and poor was presented through a closed power system, which resulted in the poor being unable to change their situation through labor and making it difficult to break the boundary between rich and poor. In modern society, most people can obtain wealth through hard work. The poor and the rich have the conditions to fly at the same time. The only difference is "economy class" and "first class". At the same time, Wang Zhian used the example of "washing dishes in the United States is more profitable than in China" to vividly illustrate that the gradient difference in the sense of wealth enables everyone's social welfare to be improved in exchange. Therefore, the polarization between rich and poor in Chinese society requires us to understand rationally and treat it correctly with a healthy mentality.

Wang Zhian talks about China in detail

With "16Is Foxconn, which is famous for "jump", really a "sweatshop"? Wang Zhian does not think so. According to the investigation, Wang Zhian summarized three benefits that Foxconn has brought to Chinese workers: First, Foxconn provides Chinese workers100Ten thousand job opportunities; secondly, Foxconn’s wages and welfare levels are among the best in Shenzhen; thirdly, Foxconn’s professional employee training and management model make its employees extremely popular in the market. In interviews with survivors of the jumping incident, Wang Zhian discovered that when rural workers who have never been subject to any constraints other than natural production conditions suddenly enter the most strictly managed professional system in the world, there will be a huge psychological gap. Wang Zhian concluded that one of the causes of the Foxconn jumping incident was the discomfort and pressure caused by people who had not experienced professional life suddenly entering the workplace. Wang Zhian said: "You have no right to speak without investigation. It is irrational to publicize the 'Foxconn Exploitation Theory' just because it caters to certain psychological expectations."

Students actively ask questions

In the following time, Wang Zhian continued to impact the audience's inertial thinking with brand-new perspectives: "Ant tribe" is not a vulnerable group, but a dream chaser, and should be given respect rather than pity; train fares should fluctuate up and down to stimulate the consumption of substitutes and ease the "difficulty in buying tickets" during the Spring Festival; the government's intervention in housing prices violates the basic laws of the market. The essence of consumers being unable to afford a house is that they cannot afford a house of their choice. Behind these seemingly astonishing conclusions is Wang Zhian’s independent thinking and rigorous research. The audience was amazed and gave bursts of warm applause.

He is a witty commentator on the screen and a calm thinker in a tumultuous era. “Discussing issues should not be based on innate judgments and ideologies, but should be based on calm thinking from the standpoint of the vast majority of people. "Wang Zhian led the students from the University of w88 and Economics to re-understand the current China, and also demonstrated to them how to think independently and rationally.
