The 2020 US presidential election can be said to have attracted the attention of the world, people are paying attention to whether Biden finally won or Trump continued to be re-elected, and the final Biden victory result is also satisfactory to many people.
In fact, successive presidential elections in the United States have been political activities that attract the attention of the world, and a party representative elected by various states to participate in the presidential election has become the object of people's continuous attention.
If you look closely, you will find that in the list of candidates for the democratic party of the US president in 2020, there is a Chinese figure participating in the campaign, his name is Yang Anze.
His point is even more eye-catching, he said: "As long as I am elected president, I will give every adult American $1,000 a month." Now that the US election has come to an end, what is the outcome of this candidate with a special opinion?
Yang Anze
<h1>Fathers and grandchildren live on the other side</h1>
In the 1960s, Mr. Yang's parents chose to leave Taiwan to live in the United States on the other side of the ocean. One of them is a doctor of physics and a master of statistics, and they are high-knowledge molecules in people's eyes, so their combination seems to be so door-to-door.
In 1975, Yang Pei'an was born, he landed on the ground with American citizenship, became a member of the Chinese-American, although his roots are in China, but he has lived in the United States since he was a child, and the education he received is also pure American education.
Sometimes people's origins are not as good as the environment in which they are located, so although Yang Anze has a Chinese appearance, his thinking is not much different from that of an authentic American.
Yang Anze studied political science and economics at Brown University, and after completing his studies, he entered Columbia Law School to continue his studies, and his continuous study of politics and economics and the study of law allowed him to successfully obtain a doctorate degree in law from Columbia University.

His future is little by little fixed under the planning of his parents, who hope that Yang Anze can become a corporate lawyer, which represents both a considerable income and the dignity of his parents. And Yang Anze did not live up to this hope and successfully became a lawyer.
But after a few months, Yang Anze found that lawyers are indeed the envy of everyone's eyes, but definitely not the position he wants to shine, so he ignored the voices of his family, chose to resign, left the legal profession, and turned to the Internet industry.
This move is of great significance to him, not only allowing him to earn his first pot of gold, creating his own investment institutions such as "American Entrepreneurship", but also allowing him to gradually discover some relationship between human society and the Internet in his practice, which makes him gradually want to get involved in politics.
For example, his experience in high-tech companies such as the Internet began to make him understand that some occupations of human beings will be replaced by scientific and technological progress, and once such a situation occurs, it means that some people will lose their jobs, so if the country does not respond, it will only make more and more people lose their jobs, so that the country will not make more and more people unemployed, so that the country's losses will gradually expand.
At this time, Yang Anze realized that if he wanted to solve this problem and the series of serious consequences that could occur, then he must become the person who has the right to speak in this country, and as a president as a leader, he is the only choice.
In March 2018, Yang Anze began to announce that he intended to participate in the 2020 presidential election in the United States, which also made Yang Anze suddenly appear in the headlines of major newspapers, because he was the second Chinese in the history of the United States to announce his candidacy for president. Everyone wants to see what kind of governing philosophy this Westerner with an Eastern face has.
<h1>When I became president, I was paid $1,000 a year per person</h1>
After announcing his participation in the 2020 presidential election, Yang Began preparing various materials and arguments. The U.S. election differs from China in that its first link is called the pre-election, in which the states elect from the top down the people of the two parties to participate in the congress, and the people will also start voting to choose their own state party representatives. After completing the previous step, it is to select the president and vice presidential candidates of their own party through speeches and debates among the delegates.
This is followed by a nationwide speech tour between the two parties, a canvassing process in which voters vote for their leaders, often taking a long time.
In the 2020 campaign in which Yang Anze participated, there were more than 20 people in his Democratic Party, and the huge number also determined that this road would be difficult, according to the rules, if Yang Anze wanted to participate in the election, he must get more than one percent of the support rate and 65,000 donations in the first poll before he could continue the election.
These are actually not problems for Yang Anze, as an excellent representative of the Chinese, the Chinese in the United States who have the right to vote will naturally favor him. He also successfully entered the debate session and had the opportunity to present his point of view.
Yang's most impressive point is that he said: "As long as I am elected president of the United States, American citizens who have reached the age of 18 can each receive $1,000 per month from the government, without any preconditions." ”
As soon as such a view came out, it caused an uproar in the United States.
Since the founding of the United States, it has advocated the "American Dream", encouraging people to work hard and study hard to achieve their dreams, but under Yang Anze's point of view, everyone can get a "national basic income", which is undoubtedly a subversion of the public view, but also means that some people can get it for free, so the public has a distinct like and dislike for his point of view.
And Yang Anze's view is not fabricated out of thin air, mainly because he sees that there will be a large number of working-class unemployed people in the future, if they are ignored and allowed to develop, it will only add more burdens to the country and society, and then it may not only be a financial expenditure.
His views quickly gained a large number of "fans", and most of these fans are from the working class, most of them work low and unstable, and the service industry they are engaged in is also changing day by day under the influence of new technology, so Yang Anze's "basic income for all" view also makes them feel that it is a guarantee.
Of course, there are not a few people who question him, after all, 1,000 US dollars per person per month means that this will be a huge financial expenditure, so where this money will come from, it becomes a problem. In the face of doubts, Yang Anze said: "In addition to adjusting the existing welfare funds, we will also impose value-added tax on technology companies to make up for the funding gap." ”
Because Yang Anze has experience in technology companies, he knows well how the income and taxation of technology companies are related, so he wants to use technology companies as one of the important sources of funding gaps, so this view has also attracted opposition from the middle class and the bourgeoisie, in other words, the deeper use of rich people's money to help the poor.
Yang Anze has gone through rounds of debates and speeches with the view of "universal basic income", although his previous speeches were the shortest among all the candidates, but he did not fall behind, but always existed at the end of the team, growing momentum little by little.
In the survey, it was found that among the public donations received by Yang Anze, the small donation of less than $200 was the largest, which also showed that most of Yang Anze's supporters were people of the lower class, and they were also one of the most voted people.
<h1>Quit and run for mayor</h1>
Just when many people thought that Yang Anze could really become the second Chinese president of the United States, he chose to withdraw from the campaign. In February 2020, Yang Anze saw his voter rate in the new round of elections, the defeat was decided, and before all the data were counted, Yang Anze announced that he withdrew from the election.
The reason yang chose to withdraw is that he already knows it, and one of the reasons is the impact of the background of the environment behind the election. As one of the minorities in the United States, the situation of the Chinese in the United States is more delicate in itself, and Yang Anze has been able to feel the pressure from the people around him since he was a child, and this pressure has been infinitely magnified in the election, and even his name will be misshadowed during debates.
In addition to the influence of the background, some of his own views are also unacceptable to Americans themselves. In his various proposals and promising policies, the word "humanitarianism" has an extremely important meaning and status, which also makes him a clear stream among the people who participated in the election, but it is precisely because of this that he lacks some thinking and proposals on national affairs compared with others, which has become his shortcoming in the election.
For example, in the attitude towards Trump, Yang Anze has a "tolerance" that others do not have, and some candidates claim that it is possible to pursue legal responsibility for Trump during his tenure after taking office, while Yang Anze said that Trump is not the cause of the United States, but a disease, so if he comes to power, even if Trump is really guilty, it will choose to pardon him.
It is statements such as these that have left him behind in the not-so-"clean" political game of the U.S. presidential election. Step by step, he also turned his failure into reality.
In fact, whether Yang Anze's campaign is unsuccessful or successful, it has given many people enlightenment, in today's increasingly developed science and technology, many human jobs have been able to be replaced by machines, but how to continue the life of these people after being replaced is also a problem worth everyone's thinking.
Yang Anze's "universal basic income" seems to be a method that comes up with a hot mind, but once you taste it carefully, you will feel that this is a way to solve possible problems in the future. Unfortunately, in the end, the Chinese candidate who wanted to pay all Americans did not become the president of the United States.
Nearly a year after withdrawing from the election, Yang Anze has declared that he wants to participate in the new York mayoral campaign, and now he has begun to prepare, I wonder if this time he can complete his desire to enter the political arena, and his various "humanitarian" views can be realized in the United States.
