Video shows some still believe their money can control power
A SCENE FROM THE UK DOCUMENTARY Joanna Lumley's Trans-Siberian Adventure, in which a Chinese woman said she could clear the roads of cars and people in a district of Harbin in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, has created a stir online. Beijing News commented:
The woman's words have shocked millions of people and become a hot topic on domestic social media networks. People are shocked, not only by the fact that a woman claimed she could clear the roads, but because she also clearly took pride in being able to say that.
That distorted value not only belongs to the woman shown in the documentary, but also other wealthy people. Not only do some of the newly rich people in China like to display their associations with power, some of them also harbor the illusion that they can control power with the fortune in their hand.
