近日出版的英国《经济学家》发表文章认为,可交易的水使用权是解决水问题的有力武器。汉语“政治”一词中的“治”字是三点水加一个“台”字,这暗示着政治和水控制是紧密相连的。这种思维方式与国际上的通常看法迥然相异,但“治”字指明了一条解决水问题的更有效的途径。 Recently published British “Economist” published an article that tradable water rights is to solve the water problem a powerful weapon. The word “governance” in the Chinese phrase “politics” is the word “water” plus “台”, which implies that politics and water control are closely linked. This way of thinking is very different from the usual international view, but the word “governance” indicates a more effective way to solve the water problem.
