Italian president Napolitano initiates a new Era of rational politics I would like to make a PROPHECY today that: Italy has sounded the death knell for absurd partisan politics. Frank Li Mar. 31 2013 in Waterloo, On. Ca. Updated Feb. 19, 2019 http://www.kwcg.ca/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=61910&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=9061 Mar. 31, 2013, I happily found Mar. 30, 2013 article Italy: Napolitano invites 'select group' on cabinet:
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has asked a select group of people
to offer a policy platform to end the impasse in forming a new
government. He named 10 "wise men" to work in two separate groups. His
announcement ended speculation that he might resign - a day after
political parties failed to agree a coalition government following
February's inconclusive election. The
article said that Italy has been governed by a group of technocrats led
by Mario Monti since late 2011 - when centre-right leader Silvio
Berlusconi resigned in the middle of an acute economic crisis. President
Napolitano said that Mr Monti's caretaker cabinet was still
"operational" and "in charge". The report interested me to search more information on this regard. Giorgio Napolitano (born 29 June 1925) who served as the 11th President of the Republic from
2006 to 2015, and in April 2013, Napolitano (aged 87) reluctantly
agreed to stand again, becoming the first President of Italy to serve a
second term. Nov.
2011, Berlusconi resigned as Prime Minister. Then Napolitano asked
former EU commissioner Mario Monti to form a technocratic cabinet - All
ministers are served by non-political scholars and experts, which was
referred to as a "government of the president" by critics. Mar.
30, 2013, an article reports that Italian President Giorgio Napolitano
has asked a select group of people to offer a policy platform to end the
impasse in forming a new government. He named 10 "wise men" to work in
two separate groups. While Mr. Monti's caretaker cabinet was still
"operational" and "in charge". After a record eight and a half years as president, Napolitano resigned at age 89 in January 2015. Mr.
Napolitano may be an only president that resigned due to aged rather
than dumped away by own people among those democratic players in the
West. The fact proved that he dictatorially named technocrats as high rank officials was a rational choice that acceptable socially. The
fact also proved that after the dictatorially named technocrats
occupied high rank official position, without the temptation of the
generous wages and benefits, those low-quality people will naturally be
as that of the deflated balloons, lost the motivation to continue
tossing about. It
is easily imagined, the practice of the Technocratic cabinet avoided
government to be dysfunctioned by the irrational partisan opposition, as
that of playing in the parliament of many democracies. The technocratic
cabinet has essentially improved social governance without social
resentment as that of the revolution that has to do for social progress. Generally,
world widely, people respect outstanding nonpartisan person who is
cultured with profound knowledge, to organize a government by such
technocrats will less encounter social resistance. And also, more
significantly, knowledgeable people can make rational reasoning with
lesser reckless. The Italian politicians have made more rational practices. As
same as that of many other countries, in Italy, the state owned
enterprises have developed as unbearable burden in urgently need to be
reformed. However, even so, throughout the 1980s, when other neighboring
countries were busy in privatization, Italians stayed in patiently
observation without action, besides made some light touch up on
profitable adjustment in the management of the state-owned enterprises. After
waits for 10 years with observed and analyzed the problems from the
radical privatization in neighboring countries, Italian carefully
privatized their state owned enterprises with Gov-holding veto right
(golden rule powers) to have avoided the harm of the overplaying of
human animal nature. And later, the president names technocratic cabinet
avoided the harm of reckless democratic play. In
2014 Italy, former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi undertook a major reform
on the managements of state owned enterprises, in which he capped the
annual salary of the executives in 238,000 Euros and which has been well
carried out. Such as, the Remuneration Report 2016 – Eni (Italian
multinational Oil and Gas Company) indicated that the maximum
remuneration for Board of Directors was up to 238,000 euros. Viewing
from the significance of social governance, the political measures of
Italian politicians have both broken the popular practice of other
countries that were fully following the universalism crowned Market
Fundamentalism and Democratic Fundamentalism. The independent practices
demonstrated the outstanding of the Italians. In
a global environment that has been abducting by the confused
ideologies, any rational policy is difficult to be formulated. Only
Italian can realize that, since they dare boldly practice independently
without the constraint of the dogmatic thinking, and dared violate the
popular practice and despise the suggestions of others, of those people
who self-recognized as nobler as world No.1 in desperately supervising
globally in behalf of the universalism. Here,
we can see the rationality of the Italians. They firmly follow the
correct path of they have carefully identified. Since Italian understood
that state-owned enterprises are the lifeblood of the national economy
and the basic foundation in supporting people survival; they must be
treated very carefully without any flaws allowed, since that any minor
mistake may cause big trouble for the life of own people. In
fact, it is the ancient civilization in backing Italians rational
reasoning and thereby managed political measures independently according
to the situation of own country without blindly following the popular
practice of others that dogmatically follow the preaching of the
mal-valued Fundamentalisms. In
comparison with the rational practice of Italian, the politicians in
most of Western countries were in childish talent and treated vital
social issue as that of playing game of babies, by simply following the
preaching of others without selves thinking over. After read above, I happily predicate that Italy has sounded the death knell for absurd partisan politics.
Since 2000 years ago, China has been in Technocratic Democracy Excerpt from Quality of civilization decides covid-19 death Frank (Hongde Li); May 3, 2021; in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada http://www.kwcg.ca/bbs/blog-61910-16248.html The original geographic integrity without geographical barrier made China united dozens of ethnic groups together as one country from the time that can be called as nation since 2070 BC Xia Dynasty, though, once experienced times replacement in royal family, but, there were no long wars until 771 BC. Because of the enfeoffment system continues to enfeoff royal land as enfeoffment states with independent economy, the imperial power declined and lost control on more than 100 enfeoffment states into 550 years of wars. 221BC, China reunited as Qin Dynasty. The tragic life of 550 years of wars enlightened social governance in Ministries, Provinces and Counties by selecting learned quality people as officials to have formed Technocratic Democracy actually; and which is the root reason that in today's China, the lawmakers are the outstanding entrepreneurs and scholars. The top leadership is the Politburo of 7 members who have practically proved in political ability and personal quality, without collective consensus; no one freely talks opinions at will. By selecting right people doing right business is the long tradition of China; so that this time anti-pandemic Covid-19, it is a team of top medical experts in taking full charge, the officials of all level work as assistants only. Any feasible anti-pandemic suggestions will be implemented immediately. For example, blockade the city, use commercial venues and sports venues as temporary hospitals
Italian President Napolitano and Premier Renzi creates new Era Frank Oct. 14, 2014 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada http://www.kwcg.ca/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=61910&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=9009 https:///myblog/72696/201705/32611.html This article is inspired by a photo of Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who
personally clean up the red carpet. At Leonardo Da Vinci International
Airport in Oct. 14, 2014, when waiting China's Premier Li Keqiang's
official visit to Italy.
Look, 39 years old Matteo Renzi has
white hair already. As a man who is in rich of rational and full of
responsible, the position of Prime Minister of a country is a
painstaking task, rather than as that of many others wholeheartedly
enjoy political privileges and political shows. The rational action of Matteo Renzi also
shows that former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano,
who recommended Renzi as Prime Minister, was also rational. So, I say
that they two creates a new Era. Some band's musicians were smiling, were they appreciating, or scorning? Italy is a great country of ancient civilization in Europe. According to Mandarin Encyclopedia - Baike. Baidu: Italy
is the cradle of European culture, it bred Roman culture and Etruscan
civilization with 48 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which are the largest
in all of countries worldwidely, which demonstrate the smart
and diligence of the Italian people. In recent years, Italy's economy is badly weakened in serious hardships. Feb. 22, 2014, 39 years old Matteo Renzi was
appointed as Italian Prime Minister with a difficult mission to revive
the economy. He said that "China and Italy are both with a glorious
history, but also, are both to have a common future and the vision of
development." His first official visit was China. June
11, 2014, in China, he said with that: "Many people think efficiency
(in Italy) is not so good and China has grown very fast, so we need to
study from China." June 15, 2014, in the interview of China's CCTV talk show,
the host asked him, you were auction the public cars that were using by
government officials on eBay, in the future, you will be auction other
public thing else, such as, that too much government computers? He
answered, no. We are just auction the cars because it has become a
symbol of excessive power. The auction was not for money, but, we want
to release a signal to citizens, which is different concept. The auction
of cars is to make officials feel that they must be more cautious. The
Host asked that, you want to change many of the rules of the game in
Italian government public administration, I worry that you can not shake
the traditional model that was inherent in 30 years. He answered that,
at the beginning, it really is difficult, people also wonder that
whether I dare practice? When I met with Prime Minister Li Keqiang, he
showed me the directory of China's 330 reform plans, and said that China
will implement 80 reform plans every year. Well, Italy also do so, a
country has a history, like a bicycle, it will be balanced only in
running, if stopped, it will fall. In 50 minutes of talk show, his replies showed quick thinking, witty and full of wisdom. I appreciated him very much. In the afternoon of Oct. 14, 2014, at the invitation of Matteo Renzi, China's Premier Li Keqiang,
arrived at the Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport in Rome to start
his official visit to Italy. Senior officials of the Italian
government, China's Ambassador to Italy, and many others greeted Li
Keqiang at the airport.
At this time of greeting Li Keqiang, Matteo Renzi personally clean up the red carpet. A
reporter of China captured the photo and was surprised by the pragmatic
action as a Prime Minister, then cited the photo in a report. The
pragmatic behaviour of Matteo Renzi was widely appreciated and the photo
was widely reproduced in the website of China. The rational action of Matteo Renzi make me think of my Mar. 31 2013 article that Italian President initiates a New Era of political, which was written after read 30 March 2013 article Italy: Napolitano invites 'select group' on cabinet: Italian
President Giorgio Napolitano has named 10 selected "wise men" to work
in two separate groups to offer a policy platform to end the impasse in
forming a new government. His announcement ended speculation that he
might resign - a day after political parties failed to agree a coalition
government following February's inconclusive election. I
once made a comment at the start of the article: I would like to make
a PROPHECY today that: Italy has sounded the death knell for absurd
partisan politics. Today,
after learnt that Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi personally clean
up the red carpet, I produce an idea that President Napolitano and
Premier Renzi creates new Era for Italy. People
are advocating democratic system that based on the partisan battle.
However, people seem to have ignored a vital problem, that is, parties
or we may say that most of forms people grouping have been acting as
garbage absorber to accumulate of irrational people who are brain
defects, to help them gain social power and obtain the energy that
cannot achieved as individuals, and even the power of State Apparatus to
ruin this world. With the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union failed, especially the collapse of the Berlin Wall in Nov. 9, 1989, marks the practice of socialism that based on the communist ideology has basically failed. 1992, the political scientist Francis Fukuyama published the book The End of History and the Last Man.
In the book, Fukuyama argues the great ideological battles between east
and west were over, and that western liberal democracy had triumphed.
With anti-communist protests sweeping across the former Soviet
Union, that the advent of Western liberal democracy may signal the endpoint of humanity's sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government. 20 years later, in Foreign Affairs of September/October 2014 issue, Francis Fukuyama published article with exactly the opposite point of view - America in Decay - the Sources of Political Dysfunction.
In book, he completely negated their own conclusions about democracy
and desperately said that the U.S. political system has decayed and has
NO WAY OUT: ”The
U.S. political system has decayed over time because its traditional
system of checks and balances has deepened and become increasingly
rigid. In an environment of sharp political polarization, this
decentralized system is less and less able to represent majority
interests and gives excessive representation to the views of interest
groups and activist organizations that collectively do not add up to a
sovereign American people.” Disappointment for American democracy, Fukuyama was not the only person with the same point of view. Oct.
4, 2009, the 2008 Nobel laureate in economics, Paul Krugman, the
professor of the Department of Economics at Princeton University, who
published article The Politics of Spite in the New York Times, said that: "The
guiding principle of one of our nation’s two great political parties is
spite pure and simple. If Republicans think something might be good for
the president, they're against it — whether or not it's good for
America." "It's
an ugly picture. But it's the truth. And it's a truth anyone trying to
find solutions to America's real problems has to understand." Prof.
Paul Krugman has pointed out the absurd and irrational reality in the
government of the United States. If we look back to the past, and take a
look at present, it has the universal significance in the democratic
government worldwide. The difference is only the matter of more or less. Oct 16, 2013, I once write an article It is high time to end the partisan politics to try exploring the reason that world is increasingly chaotic. "MRI - Magnetic resonance imaging dynamic
scans of the human brain have shown that human behavior is determined
by the brain's working state. Because that human brain development
varies greatly, so, people's behaviors are also a great difference.
Those psychosis sufferers, depression sufferers, antisocial violence
attackers, their brains all have partial atrophy from innate or latter
acquired, and therefore, their brains cannot exercise properly, so that,
they cannot do something rationally." For example: Apr. 01, 2011, the report Scans reveal differences in brain structure of antisocial teens said with that: "The
neuroscientists used magnetic resonance imaging to measure the size of
particular regions in the brains of 65 teenage boys with conduct
disorder compared with 27 teenage boys who did not display symptoms of
behavioural disorder. Their findings revealed that the amygdala and
insula – regions of the brain that contribute to emotion perception,
empathy and recognising were strikingly smaller in teenagers with
antisocial behaviour. ” "Even
if people no significant behavioral problem as above mentioned, but,
the character of each individual is also a big difference. Some people
can do any thing rationally; some people are impulse and radical. Those
are also due to the differences in brain development." "In
view of this, we must choose those people who are healthy in brain
development to make decisions for the future of mankind." "As a
simple way, the national and international decision-making bodies
should be formed by those people who have obtained high rank academic
qualifications, such as, the professional experts, professors, and the
Nobel Prize winners, and so on." "There
is a teaching class is widely welcomed by young people, no matter in
North America, in Europe, in China, or even in Japan, it is the Harvard
course Justice: A Journey in Moral Reasoning. The Lecturers isMichael J. Sandel, the American political philosopher and a professor at Harvard University." "In the article <If I ruled the world: Michael Sandel>
he said that 'If I ruled the world, I would rewrite the economics
textbooks. This may seem a small ambition, unworthy of my sovereign
office. But it would actually be a big step toward a better civic life.'
" Clearly,the philosopher Michael J. Sandel is
surely able to think carefully and thoughtfully, and he surely is rich
in compassionate, and he can surely rule the world rationally. It Is Time to Kick Out Brain-Defective Politicians by MRI Scan. Italy is one of the earlier countries that have friendly exchanges with China. In 1291, the Italian Marco Polo who arrived China. Later, according to his dictation of travel experiences,Rustichello da Pisa who wrote the book of The The Travels of Marco Polo to have helped many Europeans to learn the Central Asia and China. In 1715, another Italian Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766) who arrived China as a missionary and there he took the name Lang Shining. His skill as an artist was appreciated by the Emperor Qianlong and
was invited as a painter works for the Royal Court. In 1766, the 51
years later, Castiglione who died in China, Emperor Qianlong specially
issued his death edict, and gave him a special title for his
enjoying the funeralas the Royal Officials. His body was buried in
Beijing's foreign missionaries cemetery until today.
