Chapter 795 The Blessing of the Chinese
According to the previous promise, Wu Xiaozheng sent Giuliani a banquet invitation, and told him clearly that Lin William, Weng Jinjun, Chen Hongsheng, He Shiyuan and others would accompany the guests.

Giuliani was overjoyed.

He knew that Wu Xiaozheng was hinting to him that the matter was basically done, and the next thing would be to see the negotiation between him and those Chinese leaders.

He readily agreed.

The venue for the banquet was in the small ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

"Mr. Giuliani, I promised you that I will cook a delicious Chinese meal to entertain you. Therefore, in the next time, I will be busy in the kitchen. You have a good chat with Chairman Lin and the others."

Wu Xiaozheng began to back off.

This is the smartest thing to do.

His role is that of a liaison, not a negotiator, so that even if the two parties disagree, he can act as a peacemaker afterwards.

The next time belongs to Giuliani. He needs to use the time before the meal to persuade Lin William, Chen Hongsheng and others to give him full help in the general election.

It was William Lin who initiated the topic first.

He and Giuliani are old acquaintances, but they have only maintained a close friendship.

Moreover, today's private banquet named Wu Xiaozheng was actually hosted by him and Weng Jinjun on behalf of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

As such, his topics are fairly straightforward.

"Mr. Giuliani, what do you think of the Chinese in New York?"

This is a formal inquiry about Giuliani's perception and attitude towards the Chinese.

"There is no doubt that the Chinese have become an important part of New York. There are more Chinese here than most places in the United States. Therefore, their existence is very important to the development of New York."

"As for me personally, I also have many Chinese friends, including everyone here, including Wu who I just met. In my heart, there is no difference between Chinese and other races."

Giuliani is expressing his attitude: he is not personally racially discriminatory, and he is very friendly to the Chinese.

"But you have also seen that Chinese people are discriminated against in New York, and even in the United States. What do you think of this issue?"

Lin William asked a more pointed question.

This question made Giuliani think for a few seconds.

He knew that this was a very sensitive topic, and if he was a little careless, it would cause displeasure to all the Chinese.

But he decided to answer truthfully.

"Although the United States has been emphasizing racial equality, I have to admit that there are not many people who can really do this. Chinese people have indeed been treated unfairly in many ways. Regarding this point, just like black people have been treated a lot Treat people differently."

His frankness won the favor of several Chinese present.

It is an objective fact that Chinese people are discriminated against in the United States.

If Giuliani is unwilling to admit this, it can only show that he is a hypocritical politician.

Here comes a more acute question.

William Lin asked again: "If you became the mayor of New York, how would you deal with this?"

This can be regarded as a direct sword.

For this problem, Giuliani has long been prepared.

Ever since Wu Xiaozheng agreed to help him match up, he has been thinking about this question.

"I have to tell everyone that no matter who is the mayor of New York, it will be very difficult to immediately change the fact that Chinese people are discriminated against."

Giuliani's words are still so candid.

But William Lin and others know that this is true. The situation of Chinese people being discriminated against does not change overnight.

What matters is the following.

Giuliani spoke again.

"Once I become mayor of New York, there are a few things I can do."

"First, I can guarantee that there will be no clauses that discriminate against Chinese in all the laws of New York City."

"Secondly, I will restrain all government officials, including the police force, to treat the Chinese as equally as possible. If there is any obvious difference, they will be severely punished."

For the first two points alone, Giuliani showed his iron fist, and he made his words categorical.

He is very sincere!
William Lin and others thought so.

Especially the second one made everyone very satisfied.

In fact, in the early years of the United States, there were some laws that discriminated against the Chinese.

However, with the progress of society, the United States has increasingly advocated racial equality, democracy and freedom, and those laws that clearly discriminated against the Chinese have disappeared.

Up to now, the reason why the Chinese are discriminated against is mostly due to man-made reasons.

The most important of these is the discrimination against the Chinese by government officials.

If Giuliani can get the second point right, it will be a great thing for the Chinese in New York.

Everyone has realized that Wu Xiaozheng's proposal is probably right, and it can really benefit all Chinese.

Giuliani continues.

"My third point is to try to ensure that all Chinese children have the same right to education, including children of illegal immigrants."

This is another remarkable one.

Even Lin William, Weng Jinjun and others hadn't thought of this one.

Why do Chinese people feel discriminated against?
The reason is that the vast majority of Chinese live at the bottom of society.

The reason for this is that the level of education is generally not enough.

You know, basic education is free in the United States.

In the past, the reason why Chinese were not as educated as other races was that they were discriminated against and did not have good schooling conditions.

Now, Giuliani has specifically proposed this one, which is something that everyone dare not expect.

What's more, Giuliani also included the children of illegal immigrants in the category?
This is the basis for the rise of the Chinese in New York!

"By the way, this is a point that Wu mentioned to me. I agree with it very much, so I included it in my policy plan. I don't know if this item will satisfy everyone."

Giuliani added this again.

Everyone was shocked.

Even He Shiyuan thought that Wu Xiaozheng was just a whim and played a role in bridging the matter. He didn't expect that he had already used his words to influence Giuliani.

Foresight!

He thought that this little junior had the temperament of Mr. Sun, but now it seems that this evaluation is not an exaggeration at all.

It seems that all New York Chinese in the future should thank him!

"There's a fourth."

"Wu suggested to me that New York should have its own commercial center, and suggested that I rectify the area around Times Square. At the same time, if possible, I suggested that I also renovate the century-old Chinatown so that it can keep pace with New York's development."

"For this, I also very much agree."

"Chinatown is a major feature of New York. Anyone who comes to New York will visit Chinatown with curiosity. Therefore, I think it is necessary to transform it to make it more beautiful and modern."

"But for this, I need the recognition and support of all Chinese. What do you think?"

A more exciting news came out.
