Summary

TLDR本文探讨了中国共产党的特殊食品供应系统,这一系统始于1950年左右,最初在延安时期即有雏形。它体现了中国权力高层的特权制度,将领导分为不同等级,享有不同标准的食品供应。新中国成立后,苏联专家建议为毛泽东等高级领导建立特殊食品供应系统,确保食品安全。北京的香山农场、玉泉山农场和钓鱼台农场成为主要的食品供应基地,由中央警卫局控制,实行严格监管。这些农场的产品不仅满足领导的日常需求,还特别满足毛泽东等个别领导的特定饮食偏好。此外,特殊食品供应系统还扩展到北京市,为副部级以上干部提供食品。这一系统在三年自然灾害期间达到顶峰,显示了其在食品短缺时期的重要作用。然而,这一特权系统与普通民众的食品供应完全隔离,导致食品安全问题难以解决,因为领导层并不直接面临普通民众所面临的食品安全风险。

🍽️ 中国共产党特殊食品供应系统

该段落讨论了中国共产党的特殊食品供应系统,这是一个在中国相对敏感的话题。该系统大约在1950年建立,起源于延安时期的特权体系。食品供应根据领导层级被划分为不同的标准,有严格的规定。尽管食品本身并不特别复杂,但随着中华人民共和国的成立,特别是毛泽东访问苏联后,苏联专家建议为高层领导建立特殊食品供应系统。北京西山农场因此建立,占地600至700英亩,专门供应党和政府领导人。该农场由中央警卫局控制,武装警察守卫。随后,北京建立了三个主要的农场基地,形成了一个完整的特殊食品供应系统,与普通民众的食品供应完全隔离。

05:01

🏪 特殊食品供应站与三年自然灾害

这段落讲述了在1959年至1961年三年自然灾害期间,特殊食品供应系统的作用达到了顶峰。在普通民众饥饿甚至饿死的情况下,特殊系统确保了高级干部的食品供应。北京各部委竞相建立自己的食品供应基地,如作者父亲的单位在黄河边的农场。中央政府还特别为北京的高级干部和高级知识分子制定了更多的食品分配政策,如7级以上干部每天额外供应一磅肉和每月六磅鸡蛋,与北京市民的正常供应相比,差距巨大。此外,还提到了为毛泽东等领导人满足特殊需求的系统,如为毛泽东专门种植的反季节蔬菜和水果。

10:02

👨‍🍳 毛泽东的个人厨师和食品偏好

该段落描述了毛泽东的个人厨师系统及其对食品的偏好。毛泽东对食物非常挑剔,有专门的厨师团队为他服务。例如,湖南为毛泽东挑选了高水平的厨师,最终形成了北京饭店厨房轮流为毛泽东家烹饪的制度。毛泽东的饮食习惯与众不同,他一天只吃两餐,厨房工作人员必须适应他的时间表。毛泽东喜欢的食材虽然普通,但获取起来并不容易,如他喜欢的武昌鱼要从湖南空运至北京。此外,还提到了毛泽东吸烟的习惯,特别是为毛泽东和贺龙专门生产的香烟,以及后来中央政府为了保证毛泽东吸烟的安全,将生产转移到北京。

15:02

🚭 特殊供应系统与食品安全问题

这段落探讨了特殊供应系统与普通民众食品安全问题之间的关系。特殊供应系统确保了党和政府领导人的食品质量和安全,而普通民众则面临着食品安全问题。领导人的食品不使用化肥和农药,而是使用豆饼等有机肥料,并且这些农场在改革开放后都获得了农业部的有机认证。与此同时,普通民众的食品供应则存在诸多问题,如使用敌敌畏制作金华火腿,使用陈年馅料制作月饼等。作者认为,中国的食品安全问题难以解决的一个重要原因是领导人与民众的食品供应系统是隔离的,领导人无法感受到食品安全问题对他们健康的威胁。

20:05

🌫️ 北京雾霾治理与特殊供应系统的反思

该段落通过北京雾霾治理的例子,反思了特殊供应系统的问题。作者指出,由于领导人无法享受特殊的空气供应,他们不得不与普通民众呼吸同样的空气,这促使北京下决心解决雾霾问题,并最终在五年内取得成效。然而,这种行政手段的治理方法牺牲了民众的生计。作者认为,特殊供应系统是一个问题,因为它表明权力没有受到制约,普通民众的意见没有被传达给系统。在一个真正以人民为中心的社会中,这种特殊供应系统是不会被允许的。作者呼吁,只有通过人民对权力的制约和舆论的压力,才能解决普通民众的食品安全问题。

Today let's talk about the Chinese Communist Party's special food supply system

play00:05

This topic is somewhat sensitive in China

play00:07

We all know it exists, but the media usually do not dare to discuss and explore

play00:10

Because it involves the privileged system of the highest circle of power in China

play00:16

This food privilege system of the Chinese Communist Party

play00:18

First established around 1950

play00:21

Earlier in the Yan'an era, its privileged system actually already existed

play00:25

For example, the leadership cadres are divided into top, medium and lower end standard( In Chinese, large, medium, small stove, the bigger the stove meaning more people having it at the same time)

play00:28

What level can eat in the large stove (meaning having the lowest standard)

play00:30

What level can eat in the small stove (meaning having the highest standard)

play00:32

There are also strict rules

play00:33

But to be honest, the food itself is not particularly sophisticated

play00:37

At that time, food was more limited, and it was less likely to pick and choose

play00:42

But things have changed since the founding of the country

play00:45

As we all know

play00:46

Shortly after the founding of The People's Republic of China

play00:48

Mao then went to visit the Soviet Union

play00:50

At that time, the senior leaders of the Soviet Union told Mao

play00:53

that Mao should be especially careful and pay special attention to the food he eat

play00:56

(Mao) shouldn't be eating it casually

play01:00

Then after Mao returned from his visit to the Soviet Union

play01:03

Soviet experts then arrived in Beijing

play01:04

Helping senior Communist Party cadres set up their own special food supply system

play01:09

They choose places around Beijing

play01:12

After some pick and choose, they choose a place at the foot of the Xiang Shan

play01:15

Then the was established

play01:17

This Xiang Shan farm covers an area of 600 to 700 acres

play01:21

There are both fish ponds and arable land inside

play01:23

Then those senior cadres at the time thought

play01:25

Is it necessary to build such a large farm?

play01:27

Zhu De then said, "It's really not necessary"

play01:30

Because honestly, Zhu De, Mao, these people were peasants back then

play01:34

They were still accustomed to the state where a family can have enough food with one or two acres of land

play01:39

But the Soviet experts built this farm

play01:41

Were trying to use modern farming methods to build Xiang Shan farm

play01:46

The farm produces wheat and vegetables, and then raises pigs and fish

play01:51

Dedicated to feeding party and state leaders

play01:54

It is under the control of the Central Police Bureau, which means that there are actually armed police standing guard at the entrance

play01:59

Deep-walled compounds with barbed wire on top

play02:01

The outside world thought it was a high-security, confidential unit

play02:06

In fact, the inside is where the food is produced for the party and state leaders

play02:13

Later this scale was expanded

play02:14

In addition to Xiang shan Farm

play02:16

Jushan Farm and Yuquan Mountain Farm were also established

play02:19

In other words, three major farm bases have been formed in Beijing

play02:24

At the time, all of the people from central state government needs to do voluntary labor work

play02:28

In the era of Mao, voluntary work needs to be done on Saturday

play02:31

The cadres of the central state organs are engaged in voluntary work in these three farms

play02:35

The food produced by these three farms is also graded

play02:38

The highest grade is given to Mao, and the second highest grade is given to other leaders

play02:43

Also includes those Zhongnanhai canteens

play02:46

There are also canteens of central ministries and commissions

play02:49

The lowest level

play02:50

For the children in the kindergartens run by the party and state leaders

play02:56

Then after this system is established

play02:58

It forms a special food system that is completely

play03:01

isolated from (the food of) ordinary people

play03:05

This means that ordinary Beijing residents, including others

play03:08

The food they eat, whether from production, transportation or supply

play03:12

It's completely isolated from the food of these senior cadres

play03:19

From this point of view anything you buy in the normal market

play03:22

You can't even eat in this place(government)

play03:24

I saw a memoir written by someone

play03:25

Once at the Central Police Bureau

play03:27

Mao's police officer bought a little vegetable outside and came back

play03:30

Ask chef to cook it

play03:31

Chef won't even do it

play03:32

(Chef) Say they make this food only from the special supply system

play03:36

No food outside of the special serving system

play03:40

Then the system has changed a bit

play03:42

Part of Central Police Bureau was transferred to the Beijing Municipal Government

play03:48

Then the Beijing Municipal Government has set up a special bureau called the Second Commerce Bureau

play03:52

This second business bureau is specifically responsible for Production distribution and supply of food

play03:56

to party and state leaders

play04:00

In addition to the three major farms we just mentioned

play04:02

that supply a handful of party and state leaders

play04:07

In Beijing next to Zhongnanhai, near North Changjie

play04:10

Established a No. 34 food supply station

play04:14

This food supply station provides food to cadres of vice ministry level and above

play04:19

Also includes vegetables, fruits

play04:21

Back then Phoenix TV had a program

play04:24

Reveal this 34th supply station

play04:26

The food in this 34th supply station is also to be bought

play04:30

It does not mean that the supply is free

play04:32

But the price may be cheaper than the general public

play04:36

But more importantly, the food they are serving

play04:39

You will not see it in the market

play04:41

For example, chocolate and cake, which were very rare back then

play04:44

Cakes imported from abroad

play04:46

ordinary people certainly can not buy them in the market

play04:49

But in the 34th supply station there is

play04:52

Including vegetables and fruits are produced by these three major farms

play04:56

Although the price is similar to the market

play04:59

But it is always available

play05:00

You know that the citizens of Beijing were actually supplied with tickets

play05:04

Many things you cannot buy

play05:06

But here the cadres of vice ministry level and above

play05:08

You can buy it inside the 34th supply station with your qualification card

play05:15

This creates a relatively well-established system

play05:18

Wait until '59, '60, '61

play05:21

As we all know, it was the era of the three-year famine

play05:24

This supply system has reached the pinnacle

play05:28

Why is that?

play05:29

Because at that time in the three-year famine era

play05:31

We all know that ordinary people can't eat

play05:34

Many people will even starve to death

play05:36

Then this time, the role of this special system is more obvious

play05:40

It was not just the three major farms

play05:43

Various ministries in Beijing are competing to build their own food supply base

play05:49

In fact, it is not only the various ministries in Beijing

play05:51

I have an impression of various state-owned enterprise units(organizations) at that time

play05:55

My father's unit(organization)

play05:58

They had a farm right by the Yellow River back then

play06:01

What does this farm grow?

play06:02

Just growing wheat and raising a few pigs

play06:05

Because food was scarce at that time

play06:07

So they set aside a piece of land in that place and made a farm

play06:10

Then after planting wheat, they can give some to their own workers

play06:14

It's any department with a little power

play06:16

All use their power to get themselves food

play06:18

It is a characteristic of that era

play06:21

Then Beijing city

play06:21

At that time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also issued a document

play06:23

For senior cadres and senior intellectuals in Beijing

play06:28

A policy of distributing more food

play06:31

This document stipulates that

play06:33

For cadres of grade 7 or above

play06:35

Supply one pound of meat per day and six extra pounds of eggs per month

play06:39

Just on the basis of the normal supply of Beijing citizens

play06:43

think about what a pound of meat a day means

play06:45

A pound of meat a day means that

play06:47

At that time, the average amount of meat consumed by one person in Beijing was 1.7 pounds a year

play06:54

These cadres can consume a pound in a day

play06:56

Such a big difference

play06:58

A pound of pork a day is honestly too much

play07:00

Even by today's standards

play07:02

Of course a pound was for a family, not one person alone

play07:05

ordinary citizens simply can not eat, even in a year

play07:09

This privilege system to be set up

play07:12

It started out with that function mainly to supply food

play07:15

Ensuring the availability of these foods in times of food scarcity

play07:20

Others can not eat but they can eat

play07:23

This is the most important function

play07:24

At the very beginning of the famine era

play07:26

The second function

play07:27

It is to meet some special needs of the party and state leaders

play07:30

Especially Mao

play07:32

Although Mao was a peasant by birth

play07:35

He is not very demanding in terms of accommodation and transportation

play07:39

But Mao is very particular about eating

play07:41

Although he is very particular about eating

play07:44

From the modern food science, nutrition standards are actually not right

play07:48

For example, Mao likes to eat fried vegetables with lard

play07:50

he likes to eat braised pork

play07:52

But his requirements on his dietary were very strict

play07:55

It is not easy to satisfy him according to his dietary requirements

play07:59

Then there is a whole block in the whole special offer system

play08:03

It is for Mao alone to provide services

play08:05

For example, one of these three major farms is dedicated to Mao

play08:10

Because in one summer, he said just after the summer that he want to eat oranges

play08:14

But the oranges were not produced

play08:16

the weather was not good

play08:18

It won't grow even you shout the Chairman Mao quotes to the orange trees

play08:22

In the end, there were no orange for Mao

play08:24

Mao was furious and said you people are useless

play08:27

Just some orange you guys can't get some

play08:29

Finally, this farm began to perform scientific and technological research

play08:32

Make a special piece of land for Mao to grow anti-seasonal vegetables and fruits for him

play08:38

Anti-seasonal vegetables include bitter melon, different greens he likes to eat

play08:43

He likes to eat Zizania latifolia

play08:45

seedless watermelons and oranges

play08:48

We should know that in those days others can not find watermelon to eat

play08:51

He can eat small seedless watermelon

play08:53

That's a special supply for Mao alone

play08:56

Other leaders were not able to eat

play08:57

He is the number one in the world

play08:59

To be honest, Mao

play09:01

In fact, the various aspects he enjoyed after the founding of the country

play09:04

is higher than the feudal emperors of the past

play09:07

As far as I can see from those historical materials

play09:09

the feudal emperors of the past, in fact can't compete with Mao

play09:13

Take the food aspect

play09:15

When the country was first established, Hunan Province selected Hunan chefs throughout the province

play09:22

A dozen of highly qualified cooks were selected and sent to Beijing

play09:25

In the past, Mao had some full time chefs

play09:27

In the Yan'an era he had

play09:29

During the time of Xibaipo including the stay in Beijing Shuangqing Villa

play09:33

He has his own chefs

play09:34

But the level is honestly not that high

play09:37

That's why right after Hunan's liberation

play09:39

Hunan on the province-wide search for high level chefs

play09:43

A dozen sent to Beijing for Mao to choose

play09:45

In the end, the Mao family left two

play09:47

By the time 1955, '56

play09:49

In fact, the Mao family already has five or six cooks

play09:52

Later a system was formed

play09:54

the kitchen of Beijing Hotel

play09:56

A rotating system of cooking at Mao's house was formed

play09:59

One shift every three years

play10:01

Of course, in the end, it depends on whether Mao likes it or not

play10:04

Which chef Mao likes and more to his appetite

play10:08

Maybe stay longer

play10:10

If not, maybe out of job in a few days

play10:14

This is their kitchen system

play10:16

Because the Mao's habit of working and resting

play10:17

As I have said in the past

play10:19

It is reversed

play10:21

He is not in accordance with the needs of our normal people, such a work and rest habits

play10:24

He often gets up in the middle of the night and starts sleeping in the afternoon

play10:27

He does not sleep in the latter part of the night

play10:29

Then he has to eat a meal after he gets up and a meal before he goes to bed

play10:33

He eats two meals a day

play10:34

Then all those people in the kitchen must live by his rules

play10:38

Once Mao got up, the meal was ready for him within 20 minutes

play10:43

So these people in the kitchen while Mao was sleeping

play10:45

Chefs have to take sleeping pills and sleep with the Mao

play10:48

Mao woke up and got up to cook for him

play10:50

Basically, this is the system

play10:52

these ingredients Mao eat are very common

play10:56

But the ingredients are not easy to get

play10:58

For example, Mao likes to eat river fish, not seafood

play11:03

He likes to eat Wuchang fish

play11:04

He wrote a poem called "Just Drinking Changsha Water and Eating Wuchang Fish"

play11:09

where did this Wuchang fish come from

play11:11

In those days there was no Wuchang fish in Beijing

play11:14

His fish come from a fishery in Hunan called "Dongfang Hong Fishery".

play11:18

This "Eastern Red Fishery" picks fish for him every week

play11:21

After picking the fish, they are flown to Beijing

play11:25

Think about that era, the plane was a very expensive transportation

play11:29

Transporting Wuchang fish from Hunan to Beijing every week for Mao's personal enjoyment

play11:34

There are small fish and shrimp in the lake in Zhongnanhai, Mao likes to eat

play11:38

Fished small fish and shrimp, and fried a little for him

play11:41

only he can eat the small fish and shrimp

play11:42

Other leaders Zhu De and Zhou Enlai were not dared to eat

play11:45

So Mao enjoyed a feudal emperor like food treatment

play11:49

Once he said he had itchy feet and foot fungus

play11:54

He said you guys usually eat fine rice with me, I want to eat some brown rice, okay?

play11:58

When he said this

play11:59

There are only two or three hours left before the meal

play12:03

The Central Police Bureau immediately called XiangShan Farm

play12:06

Said Mao wants to eat brown rice tonight

play12:08

That era to make brown rice and there were no such rice

play12:11

Without a brown rice machine, the brown rice would have to be ground on bricks

play12:15

Immediately XiangShan Farm took out the grain and started grinding it on the bricks

play12:21

Immediately ground out half a catty of rice

play12:23

Delivered to Zhongnanhai in a flash

play12:25

And then made him a bowl of brown rice up in the back kitchen of Mao

play12:29

Eaten that night, Mao is very satisfied

play12:31

So you see Mao eating seemingly ordinary ingredients

play12:35

In fact, he was treated like an emperor

play12:37

Another example is that Mao smokes

play12:39

Old Mao started smoking Panda cigarettes

play12:41

Produced by Shanghai Cigarette Factory

play12:42

Later, in the 1960s, He Long once told him

play12:46

He said this cigar smoke is better than that smoke

play12:51

Mao smoked and liked it

play12:53

Later, he asked where this cigar was made

play12:56

He Long told him that there was a cigarette factory in Sichuan called Shifang Cigarette Factory that produced

play13:01

With a single order, the Shifang Cigarette Factory dedicated to Mao and He Long

play13:07

35 kinds of recipes were tested and sent to Beijing for these two people to pick

play13:12

Mao selected the No. 2 formula, lighter

play13:15

He long chose the 13th formula, which is thicker

play13:19

So Shifang Cigarette Factory set up the 132 Project Team

play13:23

It's the one land that grows the best tobacco

play13:27

Special cigarettes for these two

play13:30

Organized a few technical staff, set aside a small courtyard

play13:34

Roll them special cigarettes and send them to Beijing

play13:37

Mao has been smoking cigarettes from Shifang Cigarette Factory since then

play13:42

It is said that Mao had a meeting while smoking

play13:44

While smoking a cigarette, a spark fell onto the table

play13:47

Burned a hole in the tablecloth

play13:49

And then a Phone call to Shifang Cigarette Factory within half an hour

play13:52

"what's the matter with this cigarette?"

play13:53

"There are sparks"

play13:54

The great leader almost set the table on fire when he smoked

play13:58

Shifang Cigarette Factory is very scared

play14:00

Then to investigate who produced that box of cigar

play14:03

All the recipes are recorded

play14:05

Then look at it

play14:06

What's wrong with the recipe, why would a spark fall out

play14:09

Finally the research found that there may be a problem with the formula

play14:12

Improved, no more this problem afterwards

play14:15

Later in the late 60s

play14:18

The central government to ensure the safety of Mao's smoking

play14:20

The technical units of the Shifang Cigarette Factory

play14:23

All were transferred to Beijing

play14:25

It's in a small courtyard next door to Zhongnanhai

play14:29

Let them produce cigarettes there

play14:31

This small courtyard usually stands guard at the entrance

play14:33

The top is also pulled with barbed wire

play14:35

These people are usually unable to contact their family members

play14:37

Their family members do not know what they do, is a confidential

play14:40

In fact is to produce cigarettes for Mao alone

play14:43

Because later He Long was arrested

play14:45

I guess he can't smoke the 13 formula cigarettes

play14:47

Mao is the only one who can smoke

play14:50

Later these people were assigned to Beijing Cigarette Factory after the death of Mao

play14:55

Beijing Cigarette Factory later created a brand Zhongnanhai on the basis of this

play14:59

That's the special cigarettes that Mao and the others were offering at the time

play15:01

This is actually the way

play15:03

In fact, many people in the industry of tobacco control have said how many times

play15:07

Saying that using Zhongnanhai to name a brand of cigarettes is actually quite humiliating

play15:10

Why?

play15:11

Because Zhongnanhai is where the party and state leaders live

play15:14

You also made a trademark of cigarettes of it

play15:17

This is the opposite of the direction of tobacco control

play15:20

Later, after Deng Xiaoping came to power

play15:22

Deng Xiaoping likes to smoke Panda brand cigarettes

play15:25

Shanghai Cigarette Factory continues to produce cigarettes for Deng Xiaoping

play15:28

The cigarettes were produced every two months

play15:32

Deliver it to Beijing after it's done

play15:34

The furnace must be stopped when producing these special cigarettes

play15:38

Clean thoroughly after stopping

play15:40

The stove can not have a bit of smoke crumbs

play15:43

Then a special batch of tobacco will be delivered

play15:47

produce in the furnace

play15:48

Produce a small batch and send it to Beijing

play15:50

Once every two months

play15:52

It is said that some people in the cigarette factory think this batch of cigarettes is particularly good

play15:55

One person also stole a little, was caught and sentenced to two years in prison

play16:00

Later, Shanghai Cigarette Factory itself also launched to sell Panda brand cigarettes in the market

play16:07

But this Panda cigarette is not the same as the special Panda cigarette

play16:13

But the highest price of such cigarettes sold in the market is 5,000 yuan a piece

play16:17

That is to say a box of 500 yuan

play16:20

This special system may not seem to have any special ingredients

play16:26

But in fact, everything in their mouth is a huge cost

play16:29

There is a huge system to ensure that

play16:32

So this is a huge power system

play16:35

to meet some special needs of the party and state leaders

play16:39

Whether it is Mao or Deng Xiaoping

play16:42

The third aspect is to ensure the safety of food

play16:45

We all know that after the founding of the country pesticides and fertilizers began to go on

play16:50

At that time, farmers used Dichlorvos and Hexapenta to grow food

play16:55

I have the impression that in our time, when I was a child

play17:00

But in these special farms

play17:03

All agricultural products should not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the growing process

play17:08

What to use for fertilizer? "Soybean meal"

play17:12

It is the substance left after the soybean oil is extracted

play17:15

That substance in other places are processed into food to eat

play17:19

But in the three major farms in Beijing they are used as fertilizer

play17:24

How can the crops be bad?

play17:28

That crop is fertilized with human food

play17:31

In the end, all of that growth is particularly good

play17:33

And can not use any pesticides

play17:36

These three bases after the reform and opening up

play17:40

All have been certified organic by the Ministry of Agriculture

play17:43

They are not the same with ordinary people's food

play17:45

What do you think the food ordinary people were eating?

play17:49

Not to mention before the Cultural Revolution

play17:52

Can't even eat during the food scarcity period

play17:55

After the Cultural Revolution, Dichlorvos was used to make Jinhua ham

play17:58

There are mooncakes made with aged mooncake filling

play18:01

This system is completely isolated from the special system for leading cadres

play18:07

Why it is hard to solve China's food safety problem?

play18:11

There is a very important reason

play18:12

Leaders eat different food than ordinary people

play18:17

ordinary people can kill themselves by drinking fake Alcohol

play18:20

What kind of wine do the leaders drink? They drink special Maotai

play18:24

the moon cake you eat may be made of the fillings ten years ago

play18:28

Leaders are eating the best special moon cakes

play18:32

We all know that there are special bases in Zhongnanhai all over China

play18:36

For example, tea

play18:38

When I went to Jiangxi Wuyuan for an interview back then

play18:40

They (People in Wuyuan) said, they have a piece of armed police station on the mountain

play18:43

The tea produced is exclusively supplied to Zhongnanhai

play18:46

some local government websites in Sichuan

play18:50

They all say that the tea from their place is exclusively for Zhongnanhai

play18:54

Later there were many ingredients

play18:56

For example, Luhua peanut oil is specially labeled with a special logo for the Great Hall of the People

play19:00

They also made a special batch of oil for their use

play19:02

Their special supply system is completely isolated from the common people's food

play19:07

This brings up a question

play19:09

It is the food safety problems faced by ordinary people

play19:12

These party and state leaders can't feel it

play19:15

There is no threat to them

play19:16

So why is it so hard to solve food safety in China

play19:19

It is because this food safety does not threaten their health

play19:23

You think about Mao smoking a cigarette and then dropped a spark on the table

play19:27

The call was made to Shifang Cigarette Factory

play19:30

If we can use this spirit to establish a food traceability system

play19:34

Can China's food safety system not be improved? I'm sure it can be done

play19:38

But we have used the power of such a large national institution

play19:42

Only one person's needs are met

play19:44

But the food security of our 1.4 billion people

play19:47

Relatively speaking, too few social resources are invested

play19:49

This is the institutional reason for China's food safety

play19:53

Let's think about how the haze in Beijing can be solved

play19:57

I was in Beijing some years ago when I interviewed the Beijing haze problem

play20:00

People from the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau told me that he said the problem could not be solved within 50 years

play20:04

But we didn't expect it to be solved within five years later

play20:07

Why? Because they can't get the air to be special

play20:12

You can't build a cover on top of Zhongnanhai and make a biosphere six

play20:16

And then these people breathe inside

play20:18

They also can not wear a gas mask every day

play20:21

So they breathe the same dirty air as the ordinary people

play20:25

They are scared

play20:27

They can't just eat these organic foods

play20:30

The leaders will also get lung cancer

play20:32

So Beijing is determined to solve the haze problem, and it really is solved

play20:37

Why is that?

play20:38

All the steel plants around Beijing should be moved away and shut down

play20:42

A lot of factories shut down in the winter and won't let you produce

play20:45

We all know that the economy is actually very backward near Hebei

play20:50

Many farmers still use coal to heat their homes

play20:52

Those children in the small rural schools use coal stoves to heat their homes

play20:56

They have to stop due to command from top

play20:58

So those kids have frostbite on their hands

play21:00

But if these kids can get warm

play21:04

These leading cadres in Zhongnanhai will have to absorb dirty air

play21:09

So back then I was very much against

play21:11

Beijing uses such an administrative approach to combat the haze problem

play21:15

Because it comes at the expense of people's livelihood

play21:17

But why finally take this path

play21:19

It is because these people are worried about their health and the air is not available for special supply

play21:25

Speaking of which let's talk about the Chinese food special issue is not a food issue

play21:30

It is an institutional issue

play21:31

It is a question of whether power is constrained

play21:35

Why is there a special offer system

play21:37

It is because the public opinion of ordinary people is not conveyed to the system

play21:41

It is reasonable to assume that in an elected system

play21:43

In a truly people-centered society, a system where power is centered on the people

play21:49

Surely this decision class will not be allowed

play21:51

This class enjoying a completely different food production and distribution system than most people

play21:57

But in the current Chinese system, the public opinion of the people is not delivered here

play22:01

So this small circle can enjoy their safest and highest standard of food

play22:06

And the general public can only eat some food with safety risks

play22:11

So this special supply system is a cancer

play22:14

If it does not solve

play22:15

The problem of food safety for ordinary Chinese people may not be completely solved

play22:20

It is because it does not share the same breath and fate with the people

play22:24

So when exactly will this problem be solved?

play22:27

I think there is only one possibility

play22:29

It is the power constraints of the people, the pressure of public opinion

play22:32

Can be transmitted to the highest power center through a system of power constraints

play22:38

I do not know when will this be done

play22:42

Our show today is just to tell you

play22:45

Outside of the generally unsafe food system of the Chinese people

play22:50

There is a small group of people who claim to serve the people

play22:54

Shouting long live the people

play22:57

Yet they enjoy a better food system than the people
