With the resignation of French Prime Minister Bornet, France has welcomed the youngest prime minister in history, Gabriel Attar, who is only 34 years old this year.
1.Young and promising
The 34-year-old Attar is a proper post-90s generation, and he is completely baby-faced. If you don't talk about age, you look like a high school student.
And in France, he has become the prime minister at a young age. And before that, Atal was already the Minister of Education. Quite a young and promising.
Attar is quite popular in France and is one of the most popular politicians at the moment. He became popular as the first spokesperson during the epidemic, making him a household name.
As a shrewd minister, he is also at ease on radio programmes and in Parliament. The French had the impression that he was "very clear (in the brain) and with authority".
After appointing him, Macron said that "I know that I can count on your energy and your commitment to the implementation of the revitalization and regeneration projects that I have announced".
2.Age reallyIt's very important
Age really matters to politicians. Age means health and vitality.
In the past two days, the US Secretary of Defense has been admitted to the ICU and concealed the report, which shocked the entire jaw of the United States, and also made the people around the world eat melons. The number two person in the US national military force, except for Biden**, quietly disappeared for a week, exposing huge risks and loopholes.
And the main reason behind it is age and health.
Austin is now 70 years old. Now the United States is deeply involved in the two conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Palestine and Israel, and the US military is constantly being attacked and harassed by armed forces in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and other countries in the Middle East. As a defense minister, there are a lot of things to worry about. That's not all, the United States still wants to stir up trouble in East Asia, provoke contradictions between North and South Korea, and support the Philippines in the South China Sea. A series of troubles finally put Austin into the ICU.
However, Austin's age in the United States is really not too high now. Biden ** was born in 1942 and is now 81. He's still busy running for the next term. And the age of France's post-90s prime minister plus Macron's age is younger than Biden's.
Another blockbuster candidate, Trump, is now 78 years old. Of course, the health is a little better than Biden's. The United States has now completely entered the era of old people in power.
3.There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm
The Chinese say that the **** on the lips is not firm.
This is to say that young people are not reliable and reliable. On the other hand, it also means that women are not reliable.
Of course, this is a traditional bias. Traditionally, due to the social division of labor, women have less contact with external things and have less experience in business and politics, so this prejudice is formed.
In modern society, this gender bias is constantly being broken. Especially in Western countries, it has become a political correctness and trend to deliberately let these "non-traditional" people play important political roles.
If German Chancellor Angela Merkel, of course, is doing a very good job, far more than most male politicians. The United States almost selected Hillary Clinton before. The United States also elected a young black man, Barack Obama, who is indeed quite attractive. Including the current US Secretary of Defense Austin, who is also a black man.
France is now appointing such a young prime minister, of course, there are also this considerations, to set some younger labels, to be different, but also to cater more to young people.
4.Politics of the elderly
This politically correct approach by the political circles of Western countries has its positive side. This is conducive to eradicating the problems of racial discrimination and gender discrimination in their own countries. These issues are more pronounced and more sensitive in Western countries.
The main reason is that Western societies are not highly socialized, and their understanding of society is more abstract and impersonal, and they lack the correct management of many social relations.
In China, in the course of thousands of years of social development, we have long managed these contradictions well in a more harmonious way, so now these problems are not so prominent.
Of course, we also have the need to keep up with the times and look at these issues with a more modern eye.
But we need not be overly emulated by this kind of political correctness in Western countries. Their approach is a bit excessive, a bit of a showmanship, and goes beyond the scope of their own reasonableness.
Of course, a certain amount of youth can produce young politicians, which is also an important thing for the political life of a country. The phenomenon of the United States, which can only be ruled by the elderly, is often a sign of the country's political aging, and it is unable to cultivate a new generation of political power. It shows that political resources are too concentrated in this country, monopolized and controlled by certain power groups, and cannot be better allocated to the right people, nor can outstanding political talents be selected.
Chinese pay attention to the golden mean, and the one who goes to the middle is the best. Westerners do not believe in evil and like to go to extremes, and the more inappropriate it is, the more it wants to try. Although it does not meet our ideals, it has its own advantages. We can also learn from it to a certain extent. The stones of the mountains can be used to attack jade. After all, they have done a good job of testing for us, and we can all see clearly what are the benefits and disadvantages.
