As we were talking, our cars arrived in front of and behind us. But he said to me: "Mayor Feng, let me take your car. We were just having an interesting conversation, shall we continue?"
I smiled and said, "Okay. Please do it."
So he went to say hello to the driver and asked him to drive behind us.
After getting on the bus, he said to me: "Mayor Feng, what do you think about whether the property declaration system for officials in our country is implemented?"
In fact, the question he asked me was still the topic we just talked about. After thinking about it, I replied: "I personally think it is best not to implement this system for the time being, because the property composition of officials is a very complicated matter.
For example, you and I, our wealth does not come from the power in our hands, but do ordinary people think so? They only look at one thing: Oh, this official is so rich, he must be a corrupt official! Because
Many of us ordinary people have solidified the concept of "no official, no corruption", and ordinary people always feel that an official's property must be linked to the power in his hands, which is very unfair to officials like you and me.
."
He said: "Mayor Feng, my thoughts are not quite the same as yours. I am in favor of implementing a property disclosure and declaration system for officials. I think that at this stage, the main reason why it is difficult for us to make progress in the property declaration work of officials is
There are three major obstacles: difficulty in property statistics, difficulty in converting stolen goods, and difficulty in monitoring gray income. Therefore, a lot of work still needs to be done to implement the official property declaration system. From an optimistic perspective, it will take at least ten years. Official property declaration
The establishment of the system is one of the most basic and fundamental parts of the modern official governance system. It is also the minimum condition for the normal operation of the political and economic systems and the normal operation of social life. There is no official property declaration system, and there are many disciplinary and legal constraints on officials.
If it is not implemented, many supervision measures will be ineffective, the probability of officials violating disciplines and laws without risk will greatly increase, and the political system will be difficult to say is sound. Of course, the establishment of any system and mechanism requires willingness, motivation, process and time.
In fact, factors that affect the length of time it takes to establish an official property declaration system, such as difficulties in property statistics, conversion of stolen goods, and gray income monitoring, are all technical factors. Looking at the history of contemporary social and political systems, some technical factors do have an important impact on politics.
The establishment and operation of the system played an important role. However, fundamentally speaking, in the process of establishing the political system, technical details are often only sufficient conditions for the establishment of the system rather than necessary conditions. Technological development and progress are often political
It is the icing on the cake rather than an indispensable factor in the operation of the system. Political common sense tells people that the establishment of a political system and mechanism mainly depends on political will and political motivation. Looking around, the official property declaration system is operating well
In the political and social environment of the country, some obvious facts cannot be avoided, that is, the technical conditions in the early years of the establishment of these systems that have always been functioning normally are far inferior to our country's current relevant technical conditions and the national technology that can send people to the moon.
Strength foundation. In our current country, the connectivity of the national computer network and the use of second-generation ID cards have provided a technical foundation for population management that is also at an advanced level in the world; the use of mobile phones and the implementation of the real-name system have become more important in terms of technical means.
On the Internet, specific mobile phone users can even be located within meters; the implementation of bank real-name system for deposits has stored a huge amount of resident information in its developed network; especially the promotion and implementation of network real-name system, it has reached an unprecedented scale in the world.
, information management for hundreds of millions of people... All these technical conditions, means and implementation practices, from a technical perspective alone, have exceeded the technology required to establish an official property declaration system and its operation.
Conditions and means. Therefore, technical conditions were not an obstacle to the establishment of a certain political system in the past, and they are not now. Especially in contemporary times, the official property declaration system requires the technology of property statistics, conversion of stolen goods, and gray income monitoring.
It can be said that all the foundations are in place. In fact, even if these conditions are not met, in an era of rapid technological development, in a country that has the technical and economic strength to dive thousands of meters and travel through the universe,
There is absolutely no problem in creating these technical conditions within a short period of time. In the past two years, there have been many cases where information about officials’ property has been exposed on the Internet, which has led to investigations by disciplinary inspection and judicial departments. These cases
It shows that technical factors do not constitute an obstacle to the establishment and implementation of the official property declaration system. Therefore, I think the most critical issue in this issue lies in the determination of the national level. In the final analysis, the national level is still worried about the consequences of the implementation of the official property declaration and disclosure system.
There is nationwide instability, and this instability may come from the current increase in the gap between rich and poor. Mayor Feng, do you think this is the case?"
I nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. But I think the most critical thing here, the real problem lies in the flaws of our current system. The growing gap between the rich and the poor is just a phenomenon, and on a deeper level
If you analyze it, you can find that the root cause of this phenomenon lies in the various injustices caused by the flaws in the system.
Therefore, I think your analysis is correct. The temporary inability to implement the property declaration and disclosure system is not a technical problem, but must be carried out on the basis of solving the system defects."
He said: "Mayor Feng, I have never thought about what you said carefully before. When I heard what you said just now, I think it makes sense. From this point of view, it will be difficult to solve this problem within ten years.
It’s very difficult.”
I smiled and said, "Didn't you say that? This is a problem at the national level. If the national level makes up its mind and decides to fundamentally solve the problem of the system, this matter will be a matter of course.
.”
He immediately asked: "Mayor Feng, is the system problem you are talking about a political system problem?"
I was shocked and said hastily: "No, not at all! Our political system is the best. The system is only a very small part of the political system. From a management perspective, the system refers to state agencies, enterprises and institutions
The system of institutional setup, division of management authority and their corresponding relationships. Systems related to organizational forms are limited to state agencies, enterprises and institutions with hierarchical relationships between top and bottom. For example: school system, leadership system, political system, etc. The system is the state
An important manifestation of the basic system.
It serves the basic system. The basic system has relative stability and unity, while the system has diversity and flexibility. The country's structural reform can only be carried out under the system. Our country has a large population and is also a multi-ethnic country.
Looking at our thousands of years of history, we will know that centralized power is the fundamental guarantee for managing this country well and preventing it from falling apart.
Judging from the thousands of years of history in our country, centralization of power is conducive to the establishment, consolidation and development of a multi-ethnic feudal country, and is also conducive to maintaining the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland. Moreover, centralization of power can also effectively organize manpower, material resources and
Financial resources are engaged in large-scale production activities, economic construction and disaster relief operations, which is conducive to social and economic development. In the environment of national unity, it is conducive to the integration of various ethnic groups and is conducive to economic and cultural exchanges in various regions.
Of course, centralization also has some problems. For example, imperial autocracy can easily lead to tyranny and corruption, which is a factor that hinders historical development. It is ideologically exclusive, suppresses ideas, suppresses creativity, and promotes bureaucracy.
and corruption; at the end of feudal society, it hindered the budding development of emerging capitalist relations of production, restricted the development of social productive forces, hindered the progress of the country and society, etc.
What we have to do now is to give full play to the advantages of centralization, and at the same time overcome the adverse effects it brings. Haha! Secretary Qiu, didn’t you just say that? Now that science and technology have developed to such a height, some of these
It shouldn’t be difficult to solve the problem. Do you think so?”
I have to explain this issue carefully, otherwise it will become a political issue if my previous meaning is misrepresented.
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, the young people of your generation are amazing. Not only are they strong in ability, but they are also so rich in theoretical knowledge. It seems that we are really old. You spoke so well. Some people are behind it."
They kept saying that you got to this position purely because of your connections, but now it seems that these people are just jealous."
I looked at him and smiled, "Secretary Qiu, I understand. Just now you said you were testing me, right?"
He laughed.
While we were talking, we had already arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I found that there were also many armed policemen with live ammunition on duty here. I couldn't help but asked Secretary Qiu: "Secretary Qiu, do you think the evil forces in our Shangjiang City are really serious?"
Is it that powerful?"
He smiled and answered me: "Many times, deterrence is more effective than other methods."
I immediately felt that his words seemed to be answering the wrong question.
So I immediately asked him: "Why do you say that?"
He smiled and replied: "Jiang Shan'an's foundation is here. Even if he arrests the people below him, and even captures the heads of several companies under him, it is inevitable that a few little people will take risks because of this. Little people
Mouse is the most difficult thing to prevent, so such measures are necessary to deter those little mice. It would be inappropriate if such a big operation is ruined by a few little mice."
It suddenly dawned on me.
Then we entered the office building of the Public Security Bureau with him. Of course the armed policemen on duty knew Secretary Qiu, and they all saluted us.
In such a solemn and solemn atmosphere full of the atmosphere of war, I couldn't help but straighten my waist. (To be continued)
