“There is no need for the public to hate rich people. The wealth of the rich deserves respect from society. All the wealth created in China belongs to the country.”
Zong Qinghou, chairman of China’s biggest beverage producer, Hangzhou Wahaha Group, quoted by the magazine China Philanthropist. Zong, ranked the country’s richest man with a net worth of $11.6 billion (8.7 billion euros), criticized the idea of helping the poor by robbing the rich. Doing that would provoke an exodus of wealthy people from the country, creating a loss of state assets, he said.
