Just copy the news from the VOA news, I can’t write Chinese in school’s computer. Well, even though I can type chinese, I don’t know what to say. After this, there is a logic game which I’d done during the first class of Academic 2.

中国学者及前高官促官员财产公开

由原国家统计局局长李成瑞和北京大学法学院教授巩献田起草的建议书(《县处级以上公职人员财产申报公布法》)已提交给有关部门。发起人希望人大代表能在3月举行的全国人大会议上提出相关提案，并在一年内完成立法，2009年开始实施。

……

在北京乌有之乡书社举办的周日沙龙上，与会人士围绕建议书展开了热烈讨论。有人问建议发起人李成瑞，西方国家用300年时间才产生了资产阶级，为什么中国只用 20多年就形成了新兴资产阶级。李成瑞回答说，中国主要是用国有资产来培养资产阶级，而国有资产又是现成的，因此不需要很多时间。他对中国反腐斗争的评价是： “越反越贪，越反越腐。”
