Analyzing the causes of the upheaval in the Middle East, we can easily see that the root of the upheaval in the Middle East lies in economic problems. According to experts, there is a huge time bomb in the Middle East, that is, the population in the Middle East is growing rapidly and the employment pressure is enormous. In the next six or seven years, the Middle East needs to create 6,543.8 billion jobs to absorb these young people entering the labor market. In order to achieve this goal, we must keep the Middle East economy growing at an annual rate of 8%. However, the growth rate of X economy in the Middle East countries is only about 4%, which is far from meeting the needs of the employment force. Therefore, this time bomb may explode at any time. The factor that accelerated the explosion of this time bomb was the huge number of unemployed young people. In Egypt, for example, 70% of the population is young people under 30, and the unemployment rate in Egypt is as high as 30%. Among the unemployed, 90% are young people.

Faced with this situation, we have to think that the situation in the Middle East is very similar to that in China, except that China has developed rapidly, while the Middle East used to be chaotic. Or is Deng Xiaoping right: "Development is the last word." The drastic changes in the Middle East just confirm this wise saying of Comrade Xiaoping.

Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, put forward the famous conclusion that "development is the last word" when he led China's reform and opening up. Under the guidance of this assertion, China has developed by leaps and bounds, the country has taken on a new look, people's living standards have improved significantly, and reform and opening up have achieved remarkable results. The assertion that "development is the last word" proved his correctness with the eloquence of facts.

In the process of development, many people only understand development as economic construction. Therefore, they only pay attention to economic construction in their work, but do not pay close attention to ideological construction, superstructure and ideology, or put them aside. At one time, the upsurge of attracting investment all over the country not only linked the assessment of all cadres with attracting investment, but also gave teachers the task of attracting investment. This is a prominent example of economic development. In addition, for example, the activities of singing red songs in Chongqing have also aroused some people's doubts, and some even accused it of returning to the "Cultural Revolution" era. These are all manifestations of shaving their heads and carrying loads in development.

We must admit that in human production and life activities, people can't live without economy, which is the material basis for human survival. However, according to the basic principles of Marxist philosophy, the economic base is influenced by the superstructure and ideology, and the productive forces and relations of production must be dialectically unified. The relationship between these two pairs is complementary and interactive. Both of them are indispensable to the development of society. Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward that "development is the last word", which is a dialectical and all-round development. When talking about taking economic construction as the center, he particularly stressed the need to adhere to the four cardinal principles. It can be seen that grasping the economic foundation is not without superstructure and ideology, and promoting the progress of productive forces is not without the adjustment of production relations. However, as Comrade Deng Xiaoping said, we should "grasp with both hands and be firm with both hands".

However, the Middle East has not coordinated this economically important "two hands", that is, the economic base and its superstructure and ideology. In the process of development, the Middle East pays too much attention to the development of basic economy, but ignores the influence of its superstructure and ideology on the development of basic economy. At the same time, it also ignores the adjustment of production relations while promoting productivity. Although this can quickly promote economic growth in a short time, this kind of economic growth is unhealthy and unscientific, which will bring many negative effects. Once the momentum of economic development has passed, it will only be followed by economic instability and social unrest, which will lead to a sharp economic recession. The development of the Middle East in recent years just confirms Comrade Xiaoping's famous assertion that "development is the last word".
