励志演讲 :未来的路(23)
The Chinese leadership would need to be even more far-sighted than President Obama. They are in the driver's seat and if they moved towards a more open society they would have to give up some of their privileges. Right now, the Chinese public is willing to subordinate individual freedom to political stability and economic advancement, but that may not continue indefinitely. Corruption is a big problem and China needs the rule of law so that citizens can criticize the government and prevent it from abusing its powers.
中国领导人将需要比奥巴马总统更有远见。他们把握着发展方向，如果他们建设一个更开放的社会，他们就必须放弃一些特权。目前，中国大众还愿意将政治稳定和经济发展置于个人自由之上，但是，这种状况可能不会无限期持续下去。腐败是一个大问题，中国需要法律规范以确保公民有权监督政府，防止其滥用职权。
And China needs to become a more open society in order to be acceptable to the rest of the world. The rest of the world will never subordinate the freedom of the individual to the prosperity of the Chinese state. As China is becoming a world leader, it must learn to pay more attention to the opinion of the rest of the world. But all this may be happening too fast for the Chinese leadership to adjust to it. Hopefully, the Chinese leadership will rise to the occasion. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of the world depends on it. Thank you.
而且，中国需要建设一个更为开放的社会，以便能被世人所接受。世界其他国家决不会把中国的繁荣置于个人自由之上。随着中国世界领袖地位的确立，中国必须学会更多地关注其他国家的看法。但所有这些可能都来得太快，使中国领导人很难调整和适应。希望中国领导人能够对此应付自如。毫不夸张地说，世界的未来依赖于中国。谢谢。

人物评价
郭晖表示，中国除了还没持续加息，其他都符合索罗斯做空标准，因此估计索罗斯会先重点攻击中国粮食价格，以此推升中国消费物价指数，迫使央行持续加息，国际四大粮商都已进入中国，而且美联储刚刚推出了6000亿美元的量化宽松政策，由于国内银行的贷款利率已高达7%，再加上人民币每年升值3%，这些钱很大一部分都会变成热钱跑到中国来，赚取每年10%左右的收益，所以我们要想办法去应对，不可掉以轻心。
据香港《文汇报》2013年7月14日报道，82岁国际金融投资者兼亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯（George Soros）9月将第三度结婚，迎娶41岁日本裔未婚妻多美子·博尔顿（Tamiko Bolton）。这段忘年恋备受社交界瞩目，索罗斯更不惜一掷万金，举行历时3天的颜色主题婚宴。
