Don't be so sensitive to billionaires

More of what is news in China, billionaires, from the People's Daily :
When Forbes Global CEO Conference was held in Shanghai, billionaires again attracted people's attention. Former Forbes-listed Chinese billionaires, such as Mou Qizhong, Liu Xiaoqing, Yang Rong, Wu Zhijian, Chen Shunli, Zhou Zhengyi, Yang Bin and Qiao Jinling, who got into troubles due to various reasons, were mentioned again and again. Meanwhile, those who attended this conference, such as Liu Yonghao, Liu Yongxing, Guo Guangchang, Xu Min, Tao Xinkang, Zhang Yue, Huang Qiaoling, Wu Ying and Yang Lan, have also received a special concern.

There seems to be in existence a kind of 'collective unconsciousness' in China, i.e. people are too sensitive to billionaires. People's concerns on those billionaires are focused on two points: first of all, why so many billionaires broke the law? Secondly, how many of them can keep on law-abiding?
Take a look at who these "Communists" look to for a model of doing business:
As the chief editor of the FORBES magazine Steve Forbes is not like that. When talking of the Chinese billionaires in jail, he is not at all embarrassed, saying his magazine will continue to issue the list of billionaires in the Chinese mainland.

We can get some tips from the calm attitude of Forbes magazine: although we are not as influential as the Forbes, we should still take a calm and composed attitude towards billionaires.
Again, this is an example of "happy" news In the People's Republic of China.
