Why is it so hard to understand China? 爲什麽這麼難明白國情

I am not going to repeat the obvious. The reason why it is so hard to understand China is because you have to constantly learn and unlearn. Learning something complicated is difficult enough - unlearning what you learned painstakingly is even more difficult. For example, most people learned at a heavy price that the RMB is a strong currency while in fact it has been depreciating for more than a month.

To learn and unlearn quickly is the key to survival in China. Guess who is best at doing that? The Chinese Communist Party which just celebrated its 91st birthday.

老生常談，不再重複。明白國情的難處，在於要不斷學習，不斷忘記。學習複雜的事情難，忘記辛苦學懂的事情更難。譬如很多人交了很多學費後以為人民幣是強勢貨幣，但其實人民幣已經跌了超過一個月。


不斷學習，不斷忘記是在中國的生存之道。誰是中國最強生存者？剛慶祝九十一歲生辰的中國共產黨也。
