Peking Uni professor Kong Qingdong tells complaining tax-payers to f*ck off

It's been some time since we last heard from everyone's favourite Peking University professor Kong Qingdong, and we're glad to report he's not just alive, he remains in top form.

In a recent Internet television talk show, the (supposed) 73rd generation descendant of Confucius was asked for his thoughts about Chongqing's 2.5-billion-yuan "red" theme park. First announced last July, the fate of the revolutionary theme park now hangs in the balance with the political drama surrounding the ongoing Bo Xilai / Gu Kailai saga.

Kong followed with a tirade lambasting critics of the theme park:

This really isn't a lot of money. You divide this figure by their population. This money is really a very normal sum. These days, there are a lot of people taking money to rile up the masses, saying, "Why are you spending so much money on this and that?"

What's a lot of money? What's very little money? You say this money is a lot, but in actual fact, it's very little on a per capita basis. What's wrong with each of us taking a few tens or even a hundred yuan to embark on something like this? Why is everything we do wrong? Then what should we do with the money according to you?

Today we have these people, these small handful of traitors that are totally beguiling the masses with their incessant tax talk. Every five minutes, they will say, "Oh I'm a tax-payer, you can't do this and that."

So what if you're a tax-payer? I'm a tax-payer too. You think you can direct the government just because you're a tax-payer? It's right that you pay taxes. If you don't pay taxes, you can't bugger off. If you're living in this country, you're a tax-payer. Are tax-payers not humans? You are first a human being, and then when you grow up, you pay taxes. So stop pretending to speak on behalf of other tax-payers. I am disgusted by all those people who keep saying we need to do this and that just because they are tax-payers. You can fuck off.

这个钱其实不算多，要是你放在他们那个城市里边，你算一算，这个钱其实是很正常的一个钱。因为我们这个很多人拿这个钱出来忽悠老百姓，说，你看，花这么多钱干这个事干什么？怎么叫钱多，怎么叫钱少，那钱给你一家算是多的，这钱分配到老百姓头上是很少的。要是一个人拿出几十块钱、拿出一百块钱来，做这么一个大、这样一个事业，难道说做什么事都不对吗？那你的意思这钱怎么花啊？我们现在有些人，有一少部分是汉奸，多数人是让汉奸忽悠的这些人，动不动就拿纳税人来说话，动不动就说我是纳税人，所以不能干什么干什么。你纳税人怎么了，我也是纳税人啊，你纳税人就有权利指挥政府吗？你纳税是应该的，你不纳税你给我滚蛋。你在这个国家你当然是纳税人了，纳税人不是人吗？你首先是人，然后你长大了你应该纳税。你少拿纳税人说事。我最恶心动不动就一口一个我是纳税人就如何如何的，你给我滚你妈的蛋。

Earlier this year, Kong Qingdong touched off a massive debate by calling Hong Kongers "bastards, running dogs of the British, and thieves" in response to a bitchfight that took place on the MTR between mainland tourists and local passengers.

A month before that, Kong awarded Russia's Vladimir Putin with the on-again-off-again Confucius Peace Prize. Unfortunately, Putin chose not to attend the ceremony, pleading ignorance through his spokesman that he had only heard about the award through the press, so Kong was forced to give the award to two blonde Russian babes instead.
