Xi Jinping: I asked an official of the discipline commission
我说你觉得老百姓意见大不大
“Do you think ordinary people are happy with the situation?
群众意见大不大
Are the masses happy with it?”
大
He said of course not.
是不是当前影响积极性最大的问题
I asked: “Isn't it harming people's productivity?”
是
He said, “yes.”
我们将近三百万人该得罪还是这两三千人该得罪
Then I asked if we should upset about three million people or thousands of officials who violated the Party's discipline.
他说那当然是宁肯得罪这两三千人
He said, of course we would rather offend the two or three thousand officials.
我说那咱们就干要干就干成义无反顾开弓没有回头箭
I replied, we shall do this, and strive for it without turning back.”
