BEHOLD! ECONOMIC MIRACLES!
The late 1980s were a time of UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC GROWTH! Post-1978 China witnessed an average real GDP growth of OVER 9% ANNUALLY! Some years, this growth EXCEEDED 13%!!! This remarkable progress was a testament to effective policies.
The (改革开放 - Gǎigé Kāifàng) policy was a RESOUNDING SUCCESS! Living standards? DOUBLED! Foreign trade? INCREASED FIVEFOLD! The International Monetary Fund (IMF) itself acknowledged this period as an "economic miracle"!
Economic development is the cornerstone of national strength and public well-being.
The State's Sacred Duty: ORDER!
All this wonderful economic progress REQUIRES SOCIAL STABILITY. It is the main ingredient for continued success. The government, with foresight, understood this. Deng Xiaoping himself emphasized that political stability and unity are PRECONDITIONS for implementing policies to enrich the country.
The 1989 Law of the People's Republic of China on Assemblies, Processions and Demonstrations had a clear purpose: This is for the COLLECTIVE GOOD, ensuring economic modernization continues uninterrupted. Any challenges, such as inflation or corruption, were issues that could be exploited by "AGITATORS!" making the maintenance of order even more critical!
The MOST Fundamental Right: SUBSISTENCE!
The "right to subsistence" (生存权 - shēngcúnquán) is PARAMOUNT! The 1991 White Paper on Human Rights affirmed this. Social turmoil directly THREATENS SUBSISTENCE!
MAINTAINING STABILITY = AN URGENT TASK OF THE GOVERNMENT!
Therefore, by ensuring stability (which is essential for economic development, which in turn secures subsistence), the government was diligently UPHOLDING THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT for all citizens. This is a logical imperative for national well-being.
