September 4th the New York Times wrote about corruption in China, August 28th Bruce Nussbaum wrote about legal corruption in the United States. In Physics, objects at rest like to stay at rest and objects in motion like to stay in motion. I wonder if the Chinese people see their country in motion while Americans see their country at rest.

China is called a developing country, importantly that might also be a way of thinking. Government officials and citizens alike have experienced incredible change in their living conditions and relationship to their environment. At the same time corruption is a horrible problem in China, even inspiring a market for satirical literature in China according to Helen Wu. It is hard to deny the Chinese Communist Party has played a role in how people's lives have changed, although with much struggle. The party will likely continue to play a role if China stays in motion and accomplishes tasks like universal health care for 90% by 2011.

In the United States, a developed country, arguably the country in the 1950's, 60's and 70's settled into a lifestyle and relationship with its environment it desired complete with suburbs, an interstate system and health care from private insurance companies. While in China corruption might be accepted because China continues to stay in motion, in the United States legal corruption might be accepted because the country is understood to be at rest.

2009年09月04日New York Times写到中国有很多腐败，2009年08月28日Bruce Nussbaum写到美国有法定腐败. 物理学说如果一个东西举动，这个东西要举动，如果一个静,这个东西要静。可能中国人觉得中国举动得时侯美国人觉得美国静。

很多人叫中国发展国家。人民跟官员, 他们的生活水准大有提高.很多人比以前有钱。可是中国有问题。常常官员对人民说“给我钱！”Helen Wu 写到中国有书，这本书说“为什么官员常常在外国？为什么官员的小孩儿在外国？”。可是中共还是帮助人民。现在人民常常不会找医生,太贵了。中国准备 2011年就，如果一个又得看医生又没有钱，中国给90％的人民帮助。

在没国我觉得20世纪50年代，60年代和70年代说"够了".比方说他们有很大家，有车，身体很好. 现在中国有很多腐败，可是中国每天都不一样。美国有法定腐败,可是美国每天多一样
