What does the market economy of China lack?

By admin | Apr 30, 2008

Lady ZHANG YIN well known at meeting become the focus of the medium. She is a committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, putting forward three proposals, on being a cancel 《the labor method 》medium of without fix the labor contract of the term, one is to reduce the tax of rich mans, on being for the business enterprise to import to economize on energy the environmental protection equipments to provide the tariff special discount. This argument a, many persons attack stone her to talk for the self-interest. But even have many apologists, think her for talk to have no by herself wrong, each helps the benefits that the member of committee should is represent by oneself to talk, even having the parlance of call” hope Chinese each stratumseses to all have own ZHANG YIN”, making her become the medium hero.

This kind of idea of” presume to talk for the self-interest”, compare with on every occasion and then scare the person to come with” represent people’s benefits”, certainly want the maturity some. But, if regard as this kind of position is a healthy phenomenon, even a democratic performance, then is innocent.

The democracy of the modern is a kind of representative government, needing the occupation, the politician represents the benefits of the votes in the political benefits .But, this also is unequal to say each parliamentarians became some one representative of the stratum. In regard to my more familiar American politics: a state contain 2 senators , a person of benefits who claims to be the representative some one stratum, he is impossibly being elected. The district constituency of the congressman generally wants a little bit small, its votes in the district constituency composition is also probably narrow and some.The district constituency that for example has is almost whole is the very poor etc. of the district constituency that have.Result, the easy emergence some”extreme member” in the congressman, because a words with more extreme votes of small district constituency, such person can win an election.Even will also appear”single subject” candidate: namely concerns a problem.For example there is a nurse in New York, her husband go to work is kill by a scoundrel who suddenly opens fire to strafe in the car compartment. She therefore pays the management to the gun, it is slacken the very exasperation, hence take limiting the gun to pay as the outline, finally winning an election for the congressman. However, even is such person, also want the nerve of each stratum of touch, the benefits of very hard stratum win an election, the basic nonentity of the district constituency of after all single stratum.Substantially, in spite of is a senator or a congressman, have to become the creator of consensus in this district constituency, build up the extensively political alliance, then take the consensus of this district constituency, arrive the national legislature to carry on the fighting with the another councilman.And a”harmonious society”, also need each politicians to take creating the consensus as own mission and the political career.
Of course, we hear from time to time, politicians in the United States to advocate for the middle class and war. It seems that on behalf of a class of. In fact, not. As I wrote in the past, the middle class in the United States is a political concept, the homeless and those between the billionaire, almost the middle class can be called. The word seems to have become synonymous with the voters. Therefore, every politician claiming to have this class warfare, the fact that 90% of the population is in the interests of war, not on behalf of a special class.
Well, some interest groups if there is no way to express their own political interests? Of course not. One of the most important channels, is lobbying. Washington lobby group is well-known. Major companies and interest groups have cast a lot of money hiring lobbying groups to politicians to present its interests. Precisely because of this, the lobby group bad reputation, an election year, became the target of public criticism. However, the lobby group, after all, reflects the principle of freedom of expression, so that people running for their own interests, have called for the realization of the rights of way; Moreover, not only large companies, professional and social groups, such as teachers unions, women’s organizations, religious organizations, Trade unions, may also use the lobby group. In this way, is still a normal political process. Furthermore, Congress frequently organized the hearing, the relevant experts to testify. For example, Bill Gates is the economic problems of the frequent hearings. In addition, the Government for special needs, will also find the relevant enterprises or groups of the public or secret advice.
Now China is in a “democracy is a good thing” of the times, strengthen the political functions of the two associations has become a top priority. Two members of the deputies, we should also recognize their political responsibility. This responsibility, more like a democratic society in the Congress, its role is in their own constituencies in the manufacture consensus, rather than aggravating the contradictions. The Miss Zhang Yin claimed she “represents the interests of the class,” reflects the political awareness on the naive. She developed such a large company, is successful. She needs the interests of the class, of course, the Government need to listen to. If she has to say, should go to all kinds of hearings and advice to the meeting said. If these were not enough, can also be employed with the lobby group for a special communication. However, as a CPPCC member, it should be more widely representative of the interests of the various conflicting interests in the search for a political alliance. If you give up on behalf of such a consensus to create the basic political responsibility, their only speak for their own interests, then the two sessions to everyone, not noisy as the Yi Guoyu。This can only bring about political paralysis.
The two sessions, to Miss Zhang Yin as the representative of entrepreneurs Xianshanloushui, known as the “new class”, sent a powerful political voice. By contrast, the majority of the population of workers, farmers, but is holding out and shook hands with the leaders, according to Zhang like it. This has been over a few elite representatives, the majority of people lack the representative of the phenomenon. This is not only reminds me of the market economy Zushi Ye Adam. Smith. He lives in the developed market economy, the rise of industrial and commercial sectors of the times. However, he has repeatedly pointed out: too much industrial and commercial sectors of forces, most of vigilance. One of the reasons is the impact of industrial and commercial sectors of the rapid expansion of the capacity of the Congress, so that other sectors difficult to contend with. This was serious money under the control of the political representatives of the imbalance in the market economy is enormous threat. Therefore, Adam Smith’s shout: a majority of the population are very poor community is very difficult to prosperity. He advocated the market economy to speak for the poor, not to speak for the rich. Look at China today, some of the words for the rich, now has its own rich speak. However, who will speak for the ordinary people? This is our market economy by the lack of things.
