A look at gangsterism under the Koumintang government and the gangsterism prevalent at local government levels in China today. And the way in which the central government is trying to accomodate petitioners and complaints of corruption and misuse of power. There is aperception that only if the central government knows about the abuses that these would be corrected. However the central government has not been able to control corrupt local officials working in collusion with gangster elements and the police. As long as economic growth is high the central government can risk ignoring the problem and send petitioners back home.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
