On February 13, the 13th Plenary Congress was held in Beijing...

Thousands of representatives from all over the country will review the government's 2016 work report within half a month, listen to the State of the Union Address of the National Leaders, review the 2017 fiscal budget, and vote to pass a number of laws and regulations.

At 8:30 am, Ji Youguo first gave a government work report.

Compared with the government work report in previous years, this report is quite short. In addition to introducing the Republic's recovery of the Diaoyu Islands after the East China Sea War, it focuses on the raging financial crisis. Relatively speaking, Ji Youguo did not explain too much about the Republic's economic and social construction achievements in 20166.

Next, Pang Xinglong gave a detailed report on the work of the State Council.

Compared with Ji Youguo's government work report, Pang Xinglong pays more attention to the work of the State Council in the past year. Compared with the State Council work report in previous years, Pang Xinglong's report time this time was extended by nearly 3 hours, and most of the time was spent introducing the details of fiscal expenditure in 2016, and even explaining the use of each fiscal fund.

What shocked the delegates attending the conference was that the State Council provided a very detailed list of fiscal expenditures!

As early as 2009, some representatives suggested that the State Council must publish a detailed list of fiscal expenditures and explain the detailed where each cent of tax revenue. In 2012, some representatives suggested that the State Council should be required to publish fiscal expenditures on time in the form of legislation and make explanations to the people of the whole country.

Relevant proposals are available every year, but have not been implemented.

This time, another group of representatives were preparing to propose a similar bill, but before the representatives could submit it, the State Council took the initiative to announce the financial expenditure status.

This change immediately attracted widespread attention. Domestic news media also immediately made key reports.

The State Council took the initiative to announce the fiscal expenditure situation. Does it mean that Ji Youguo is preparing to "take action" with the central government?

In addition, the details of fiscal revenue and expenditure announced by the State Council are also very eye-catching.

In 20166, the central government's local tax revenue was only 91674, a decrease of 487% from 17689 billion yuan in 2015; other non-tax revenues were 46542, a surge of 30095% from 36548 in 2015; the central government's total revenue was 1.6 billion yuan, an increase of 65% from 100 million yuan in 2015.

Tax revenue has decreased. The main reason is that the state has reduced the business tax on private enterprises and the consumption tax quota on consumers. The proportion of value-added tax in the circulation link has been reduced. The domestic economy, especially manufacturing, has declined due to the financial crisis and the East China Sea war. It is also an important reason for the reduction in tax revenue.

Other non-tax revenues increased. It was not that the state sold more land and that the performance of state-owned enterprises soared. It was that the central government seized a total of 121,764 illegal income. After deducting this part, the actual non-tax revenue decreased by 3220% compared with 2015.

The decline in real income indicates that the national economy has been affected by the financial crisis.

Compared with income, expenditure is more touching.

Of the total fiscal revenue of 238,216.6 billion yuan, excluding the 214.7 billion yuan direct and indirect investment in the East China Sea War, the central government spent 196,452, with only 396,177 billion yuan remaining, with a surplus of 1663%.

From this we can see that the actual expenditure of the central government is actually much greater than tax revenue and actual non-tax revenue.

Among the 196452 ​​expenditures, rigid expenditures were 94821.1 billion yuan, including 1c648 military expenditures, 9261.1 billion yuan for universal medical insurance, 1742.9 billion yuan for universal social welfare, 1.1 billion yuan for education and research expenditures, 29173 for social public infrastructure maintenance, 13278 for infrastructure construction, and 360.9 billion yuan for other RMB. The overall situation is not much different from the 94800 applied for in the 20166 fiscal budget. Non-rigid expenditures are 97884, of which the central government's administrative expenses are 3982.7 billion yuan, 211768 for public utilities, 16374 for state-owned enterprises, 11,572 for daily administrative expenses, and 834.3 billion yuan for the overall situation is less than that for the 98,000 applied for in the 20166 fiscal budget. In addition to rigid and non-rigid expenditures, other expenses are 374.7 billion yuan.

The "bills" handed over by the Premier of the State Council are indeed shocking, and the people are particularly concerned about several of the expenses.

Rigid expenditure is basically related to the national foundation, and the problem is not very big. The relationship between non-rigid expenditure and administrative management is more obvious and attracts more attention.

Among the central administrative expenses of 398.27 billion yuan, the expenses of permanent foreign affairs institutions, the expenses of diplomatic activities, the salaries of civil servants in administrative departments and the daily maintenance expenses of administrative departments are all considered normal, but one of the "administrative management expenses" of 427.7 billion yuan is puzzled by many people.

The subsidies for public utilities are mainly used for expenditures such as electricity, urban water supply, urban sanitation, urban public transportation, nature reserve maintenance, waterway and traffic maintenance. In addition to the hotly debated "the wage level of electricity and other public institutions is too high", other points of view have been recognized.

The reverse caused by subsidies for state-owned enterprises is even greater. The subsidy funds invested in state-owned enterprises such as oil, petrochemicals, telecommunications, and electricity reached 1.9 billion yuan. As we all know, these industries monopolized by the state achieved good results in 20166.

The oil industry makes 3784. Why does the country still provide huge subsidies?

The extra daily administrative expenses have been widely questioned by the people, because among these expenses, the procurement and maintenance costs of public vehicles are as high as 1.9 billion yuan, the daily public expenditure (that is, social engagements) reaches 174, and the cost of government departments to visit abroad is 2.2199 billion yuan. Excluding these three parts, only 1,960 is used for daily administrative expenses!

After the government's revenue and expenditure were transparent, the people made some calculations.

If the "extra income" cannot be obtained in 20177, the central government's fiscal deficit will definitely exceed 5 trillion yuan. If you want to reduce fiscal expenditure, you must try to reduce government expenditure and spend money on the edge, rather than raise a large number of officials. According to the local expenditure in 2016, if the "three public" expenses can be cut off, nearly one trillion yuan can be saved. If the maintenance and construction projects of social public infrastructure are planned reasonably, it can also save trillions of yuan. The sum of the two will be 2 trillion yuan, which can effectively reduce the government's fiscal pressure.

This account made more people see the real purpose of Ji Youguo asking the Premier of the State Council to announce the detailed income and expenditure situation.

The storm of integrity has just ended, and the government's prestige in the minds of the people and the enthusiasm of the people to support the government have reached a new level. However, the storm of integrity cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and the people hope that the central government will introduce more powerful measures to safeguard the interests of the people. In this case, Ji Youguo first threw out the central government's income and expenditure list, which is not only expressing the intention of resolutely implementing government reform to the people, but also putting pressure on local governments.

There is no doubt that Ji Youguo will take a heavy blow at this plenary congress.

In the next two days, the representatives focused on the central government's fiscal revenue and expenditure in 20166 and put forward many opinions. For example, publish more detailed revenue and expenditure data, provide detailed explanations on the situation of certain "other projects", and disclose the specific destination and arrangements for the surplus of 39617.7 billion yuan.

Pang Xinglong answered questions one by one to answer.

Of course, Pang Xinglong, the top secret of the country, could not explain to the representatives, because of the total expenditure of "other projects" in the "Yanhuang Plan" totaling 1569.9 billion yuan, nearly 12,000 were scientific research funds for the "Yanhuang Plan".

During this period, Ji Youguo accepted a special interview with Republic TV.

When the reporter asked why he chose to announce the detailed expenditure of the central government at this time, Ji Youguo's answer was very brief: Be responsible to the people.

These five words contain the core idea of ​​Ji Youguo's resolute implementation of government reform.

The government is the government of the people, the government elected by the people, and the government maintained by the people's taxes. It serves the people and is responsible to the people!

Ji Youguodi's words also caused a sensation across the country.

The successful recapture of the Diaoyu Islands has made Ji Youguo's status and prestige in the minds of the people. As the most tough head of state since the founding of the Republic, Ji Youguo's foreign policy is enough to make every Chinese son and daughter feel proud and proud. The storm of integrity has allowed the people to see Ji Youguo's firm attitude and tough means to rectify domestic problems, and has made the people believe that Ji Youguo has the ability to lead the Republic to a brighter future.

During the conference, tens of thousands of people from all over the country spontaneously entered Beijing and demanded that Ji Youguo be re-elected!

People from all walks of life in the capital also launched a "joint petition" and hundreds of thousands of people signed the "petition", hoping that Ji Youguo could be re-elected as the head of state of the Republic.

It can be seen from this that Ji Youguo not only has prestige, but is also widely loved.

Regarding whether Ji You Congress broke the "convention" and sought a third term, domestic news media did not report it under the "care of the government", but foreign media made the matter very popular.

Almost all Western media believe that Ji Youguo is likely to seek re-election again.

The reform of the Republic is in the most critical period. Industrial structure adjustment requires strong leadership to promote. Government reform, land reform, state-owned enterprise reform and other major reforms all require a strong leader.

Looking at the Republic, except Ji Youguo, neither Premier Pang Xinglong nor the Minister of Defense (and Deputy Head of State) Zhao Rundong, who is most likely to take over, does not have this ability.

Even Al Jazeera, which has always been "gentle" to the Republic, believes that even if Ji Youguo does not seek re-election, he will continue to exert influence after leaving office and become the "shadow head" of the Republic.

During this period, Western TV stations' ratings in China even surpassed those in domestic TV stations.

Obviously, most people hope that Ji Youguo will be re-elected.

As the "party", Ji Youguo remained silent abnormally and did not answer any questions related to "reelection" when interviewed by Western reporters.

Judging from the situation at that time, the only reason why Ji Youguo remained silent was to maintain domestic stability.

Domestic TV stations did not report on this, and they did not want the "reelection issue" to have a negative impact on the new government.

It can be seen from this that Ji Youguo has already made a decision on whether to be re-elected.

With Ji Youguo's character, no one can make him change his decision.

The speculation and rumors will eventually be clarified. As the Plenary Congress ended its review of the central government's fiscal revenue and expenditure in 2016, the agenda entered the second stage, and it was one step closer to the answer to whether Ji Youguo was seeking re-election.

damn it**

Please give me a monthly ticket and continue to fight for the third time! (To be continued,)
