Chapter 072 Free Debate in the Party School

The speeches of several students in a row made the others present gradually let go, and the scale of speeches became more and more relaxed. Then I don't know when I began to get entangled in a problem: that is, before the TO joined, not only did the people not know the specific terms of the negotiations between China and the United States, but also many people at this seminar did not know, you must know that these are not all local vice-provincial cadres like Xiao Chen, and there are many vice-ministerial-level cadres of various ministries and commissions of the Government Council, and the cadres at this level are not clear about the specific conditions of the negotiation, so they are naturally not very happy, so as they talk, the atmosphere becomes a little tense. Although no one came up with anything out of the ordinary, the dissatisfaction in the words was obvious.

At this time, Teacher Hu Bi saw that Xiao Chen still did not speak, so he smiled and said: "This student ......" He looked at Xiao Chen's student card and nodded: "This student is a young local cadre, can I talk about it as a local cadre, what do you think of the situation we are facing after joining TO?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Just now, all of you have talked about the situation we are facing after joining the TO from many fields, and I would like to talk about the challenges faced by our political and economic management and the direction of the next reform after the entry of the TO. Now, here comes the to, what does the to mean? One of the most common phrases we hear is that for us, the pros and cons coexist, the pros outweigh the disadvantages, the opportunities and challenges coexist, and the opportunities outweigh the challenges. But when I listened to this, I didn't think it was interesting, one was that I listened too much, and my ears sounded calloused. The second one always feels a bit big and a bit wishful thinking. I think it's better to be a little melancholy than to be overly optimistic, and we need to deal with it seriously.

In addition, a classmate just said that even those of us do not know the real content of the national negotiations, which is very strange, because we are either local leaders or leaders of central departments, and we don't know the internal situation, how to lead local or departmental leaders? I agree with this statement in principle, although the information has been sent to us now, but this thing should indeed have been communicated to us earlier, but then again, whether we know the information or not, I have an intuitive feeling, to, for us, it is not anything else, it is the threat of the system, the biggest challenge is also the system, we have to meet the to, the most important thing is to change our system, the system of political management of the economy should be very important, needless to say. In the middle of the rules of TO, according to the information sent to us in this study, two of our 23 agreements involve enterprises, and the others involve politics, not only that, but more importantly, in the whole process of TO, from the actual point of view of our country, the key to whether our enterprises can go to the market, whether they can achieve independent management, and be responsible for their own profits and losses lies in the government.

What is the self-management of a business? The liberalization of government means the independent operation of enterprises. What is a market? If the government does not intervene, it is the market, and the problem is actually as simple as that. Therefore, the reform of the political system is a key issue that we need to solve in dealing with the challenges of the TO system.

It should be said that the reform of our political system, the reform of the management economic system, did not start today, nor did it happen in response to to, since 78 years, we promoted the reform of the countryside, the reform of state-owned enterprises, the transformation of the reform of the political system began, it should be said that great achievements have also been made, which cannot be erased, but this reform has always not achieved the progress we expected, so far, many scholars in our country, including some of our political officials, are saying, The reform of the political fǔ is still lagging behind, why is it lagging behind? This also involves related reforms. Therefore, I say that there are seven aspects, namely, the reasons for this, or the direction of the next reform, from both subjective and objective aspects. ”

Xiao Chen is not polite, there are seven aspects at a time, his voice is not loud when he speaks, but the content is very attractive, so at this time, in order to hear clearly, everyone consciously closed their mouths and listened to him quietly.

Xiao Chen took a sip of water unhurriedly before continuing: "The first aspect is the restriction of the layout of the state-owned economy that is too broad, we say that the existence of the state-owned economy means the necessity of direct management of the government, and the existence of an excessively wide and long operational front of the state-owned economy means the necessity of the existence of direct management of the government that is too broad and too broad. If 90 percent, or more than 90 percent of an economy, are state-owned and quasi-state-owned, you can't expect our government to change its management from direct management to indirect management, because when the property rights of state-owned enterprises are a collective concept, the political fǔ is the representative of the collective concept, and the political fǔ does not matter who is in charge? Therefore, given the relatively long front of the state-owned economy, we cannot expect a big change in our political functions. Therefore, it is this that is constrained, and our reform should also be placed on this, which is the first aspect.

The second aspect is the limitations of the existing personnel management system dominated by the government, especially the management system of state-owned enterprises. To tell the truth, the most important thing in managing a business is to manage people, if people are controlled by you, how can this enterprise operate independently and be responsible for its own profits and losses? I'm now the party secretary in Wucheng, and I've not dealt much with the reform of the state-owned enterprise system, and the reason is probably clear: my predecessors sold them pretty much enough. But when I was mayor of Langliu, I was in charge of the reform of the state-owned enterprise system. At that time, I understood that in many enterprises, even the chairman of the trade union has to be appointed by our government, for example, if the chairman is a legal representative, he can't even select his own general manager and deputy general manager through the market mechanism, he needs to accept an appointed general manager, deputy general manager, or even the chairman of the trade union, how can he bear the responsibility? How could he do what he wanted, and finally take responsibility for it in a real and willing way? Just like the factory director responsibility system under the leadership of our party committee, then the factory director quit and said that you are leading, I am in charge, who is doing this? This principle is the same, so the reform of the system, especially the reform of the personnel system and the reform of the management system, must go to the market and be selected through the market mechanism, which is another key to the transformation of our political functions, and it is also an important reason why the transformation of functions is not in place.

The third aspect is the management mode of the planned economy, which has been formed over a long period of time, and this is also related to our original economic system, including our state-owned economy. This long-term pattern has led to the fact that in the process of managing the economy, we are accustomed to administrative operations, often replacing management with examination and approval, and replacing rectification with closure, and many of them are carried out from the perspective of our own will.

The fourth aspect is the constraints imposed on the transformation of our functions by the unscientific and unreasonable performance evaluation system. This point is very constrained, and many of our local governments have implemented an assessment index system centered on economic growth for lower-level governments and enterprises, and this evaluation index system has prompted our local governments to blindly engage in image projects, follow superficial things, and even deceive themselves, while ignoring those real work that is really conducive to raising economic returns and improving the people's livelihood. This has also prompted some local governments to directly engage in economic activities and intervene in the operation of enterprises, so it has led to a serious dislocation of political functions, and repeated prohibitions.

Fifth, we say that it is a system of financial support for the performance of public duties, and if a political fǔ does not have sufficient financial support, it will inevitably change his behavior. We are in law enforcement agencies, where the case is handled, where the money is paid, how can this guarantee impartiality? Now the discussion of independent directors is the same, a lot of things have been done, independent directors proposed to give equity, can they still be independent if they are given equity? He also has interests to worry about, I am the general manager, I pay him a salary, he can't be independent. This indirectly reflects that if our government and financial funds cannot guarantee the fair operation of the government, there will inevitably be distortions in terms of functions, and this is another aspect.

The sixth aspect, called the imperfect and imperfect market organization and the restrictions of the rules, is a very important objective reason, because of our long-term system, our market organization, and some of these functions that are not suitable for the government to undertake, such a substitute is either not perfect enough, or out of shape. Many of our terminating organizations have become the second political fǔ, even more powerful than the political fǔ. We feel that the next step in the reform of public institutions is the key point, and our current public institutions are good, and as soon as the salaries of government and civil servants rise, the public institutions will also rise, enjoying the benefits of the planned economy and the oil and water of the market economy, and they have everything. This aspect is not sound, standardized, and imperfect, which is also an important reason why it is difficult to reform the functions of the government, and it is also the focus of the next step of reform.

Finally, there is an imperfect and powerless legal system that regulates political behavior, not that we do not have many laws, but there are more and more laws in our country now, but the scientific problem of the law itself, the issue of our strength in law enforcement, and how much of a role it plays in the regulation of political behavior itself, is also worth studying, and this is also the focus of the next step. As far as I am concerned, the next step is to change the functions of the government, and although the structural reform of our original government and economic management has achieved great results, it has not been put in place, and these are the reasons why we should change the functions of the government in the next step and reform this system, and we must also start from these aspects. What should be the direction? I summarized the following aspects:

The first aspect should be to narrow the scope, as I just said, some things are difficult to transform without shrinking. First, from a hierarchical point of view, what should the government fǔ do? We believe that the government should do three things: First, formulate market rules, maintain market order, and create an environment of equal competition. Second, it is necessary to rely on economic and legal means to ensure the basic balance in the relationship between economic aggregates, optimize and upgrade the economic structure, and raise the level of social employment. Third, our so-called four public organizations organize the production of public goods, develop public undertakings, provide public services, and establish public guarantees. I think it's such a level from the management level.

In terms of capital entry, it should be limited to such a scope, the fields that are not the main body of government are unwilling to invest, most of these fields are areas with strong public welfare, in this regard, we should engage in investment, and second, the field that is not conducive to government investment, and the investment of government can not withdraw from the field of competition? I don't think it's right, the flexibility to achieve certain goals is completely possible, and it is not appropriate to exit the competitive field, and the government should invest mainly in these two areas.

The second aspect, which we also call adjusting the rules, in my opinion, is to first achieve three transformations, to make the all-powerful government fǔ into a limited government fǔ, a government fǔ that can do anything, a limited role of the government fǔ, and a truly wise government fǔ is also a limited role of the government. Secondly, from the management, examination and approval and other ways to provide intervention, to improve the rules, systems, and provide services through the government, this is a very important change, we can not treat the enterprise as the opposite, always pondering how to card him, how to manage him, as the object of service. Third, it is necessary to change from a government that mainly serves the state-owned economy to a government that serves all economic sectors that are necessary to exist at the present stage and the national economy as a whole, that is to say, it is necessary to treat all the objects of service equally.

The third aspect, I am talking about is called the normative procedure, and our procedure should be carried out strictly in accordance with the law through the legal procedure. If the procedures are not in place, and the supervision and control are not in place, the problems of greeting people will arise more than handing over notes, handing notes more than issuing documents, and sending documents more useful than promulgating laws.

The fourth aspect, called changing the mode, should give more play to the role of the market mechanism, what can rise to the law will rise to the law, what can be transferred to the market will be transferred to the market, and what can be transferred to the market is the most necessary, and the management mode of the government is not necessarily the way of examination and approval, so recently the government has vigorously increased the intensity of the reform of the examination and approval system, which is a very important measure.

The fifth aspect is to strengthen supervision, this supervision is mainly to strengthen the supervision of the functional departments of the government, we are talking about the general use of existing conditions, such as administrative supervision, people's congress supervision, public opinion supervision, mass supervision, etc., there is also a very important legal supervision, so, I just talked about it, we must speed up the construction of a legal system that regulates the behavior of the government, so that our behavior and the supervision and restraint of the behavior of the government are fully integrated into the legal system, which is the corresponding adaptation to the requirements of the to. In the future, we must not engage in too many internal documents and speeches, and we must change the current situation in which laws are inferior to documents, documents are inferior to speeches, and speeches are inferior to instructions, so as to make our laws open and transparent. Thank you. ”

At this time, everyone really let go of talking, although Xiao Chen's words were more sharp, but relatively speaking, it was relatively "face-giving", he mainly talked about how to deal with the current situation, and there were a few before him, it was a bit like questioning and criticizing some central leaders, but this is the Central Party School, the party's middle and high-level cadres' demand for intra-party democracy has become stronger and stronger from the reform and opening up to the present, even if the Central Committee knows about their discussion today, it will never say anything.

At this time, a female cadre suddenly asked Xiao Chen: "We are now in charge of politics, enterprises are working hard, counterfeiting and shoddy, tax evasion, according to Xiao's intentions, what is the reason for this?" ”

Xiao Chen thought for a little for two seconds and said: "We originally had a set of values, which were completely established on the basis of criticism of capitalism, and we felt that the operation of capitalism in that link, the development of enterprises, and the lack of political control, and then these things came out, and the political government intervened, which further strengthened our concept, and in turn, the political government took care of a little more, and it was able to solve the problems that the market could not solve, but we didn't expect it, Is it possible that we will be able to overcome the defect of capitalism by strengthening management in reverse? It turns out that if your management is not scientific and unreasonable, you will not only fail to solve the original problem, but also may have new problems, and now we already know this problem. However, we have overlooked a very important problem, that is, when we saw its shortcomings, we did not think that the vitality of the economy comes from the vitality of the main body of microeconomic activities, and if an enterprise itself is not willing to develop, it is useless to exert great efforts outside.

So, for many years, we have fallen into such a system...... Whether it is called a misunderstanding or a mistake, we always regard politics as the driving force for economic development, while ignoring that the driving force of economic development comes from the micro level, and the micro level does not need you to give him many preferential policies, as long as you give him an active mechanism, this is a core problem. Now we have figured out that we want to let enterprises go to the market, the key is here, with such a foundation, in order to keep our economy far ahead of the development of the foundation. Answering like this, I don't know if my classmates are not satisfied. ”

The female cadre smiled and said: "I also talk about my personal opinion, counterfeit and shoddy should also be looked at at the level, for inferior products, when selling, the quality found is inconsistent with the quality of his actual products, I think this foreign country is also in charge, for example, there is an FBA food and drug inspection bureau abroad, and it is generally difficult for consumers of food and drugs to see how its quality is, how effective it is, whether it is enough or not, which national government has to care." But for some fakes, why fake? I think there may be two reasons, one is that there are some brands, but he has invested a lot in the brand for a long time, and everyone has confidence in it, and many things can produce the same quality, but without investing in the brand, he counterfeits the brand. There are also many of them abroad, of course, on the one hand, enterprises, must use legal means, and if they see that there are some counterfeit products, they will also manage it.

There seem to be more counterfeits in China than in foreign countries, and there are several reasons, many of which are monopolies created by our state with administrative power, so that enterprises have quite high profits, and then the production cost of the same product is not very high, so they produce counterfeit products and share the benefits of this monopoly. From this point of view, as long as we join the TO, I believe that counterfeit products will be greatly reduced if we do not use administrative power to create unnecessary monopolies in the market. ”

Xiao Chen thought for a while, nodded, and added: "When it comes to this issue, why do we have more fake and shoddy products, and capitalism also exists, but why do we have more than others, including the government management is relatively wide, and the management that should not be managed is not able to manage, and the management that should not be managed is very wide, we formulate market rules and strictly enforce the law, this should be something that the government should manage, we are not without management, but the strength is not enough, and this lack of strength is related to our dispersion of energy." The second one, as I just said, is related to microtechnology, and in that kind of technical framework, he consciously wants to build up his credibility, and without this credibility, he will not be able to obtain more benefits. Just like a Hong Kong consultant of Huaxia Bank asked me about this, saying that our Hong Kong enterprises also borrowed my money, and I borrowed your money, but it never formed this kind of triangular debt in our country, what is the reason? I said very simply, we owe money, we can not pay it back, because it is my husband's, it doesn't matter if I don't pay it back, we have to create a theory, you give me capital or something. People say, if you lend me money, if you don't pay it back, it's over, people don't lend you, you can't live without credit, which is a very important part of enterprise self-restraint. Third, our current political management system and performance evaluation system also provide conditions for the prevalence of counterfeit and shoddy products to a certain extent, in order to achieve the economic growth of the region, do not let excellent products enter his place, in other words, as long as some products in this place can bring him tax revenue and economic growth, he will turn a blind eye, so it is caused by various reasons. ”

……

The free discussion in the afternoon was very successful, almost everyone entered the state, almost everyone around to, on the issues they know better made an explanation, between some students, there were also some disputes under the conflict of views, of course, for provincial and ministerial officials, it is very common to have conflicts in administrative concepts, everyone is to argue in their mouths, and there will never be any other thoughts, such as holding grudges and the like, because it is meaningless.

Xiao Chen just didn't know that after they went to eat after class, two materials were handed over to the desk of Jia Lehong, Minister of the Central Organization Department, within two hours, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, they were placed on the general secretary's desk. At the top of the third paragraph of the first document, it is written: "Xiao Chen, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee: flexible thinking, quick response, self-control, good at system research, and making judgments in light of the actual situation. ”

The general secretary held a pen in his hand, drew a bōlàng line under "Longer than System Research", looked at Xiao Chen's name, and did not move his gaze for a long time.
