In the history of Chinese several records of corruption
Mr Wang yanan once said, a history of 24, is a history of corruption, deep in the extreme. Regardless of any differences between history and reality, in describing the corruption, the astonishing similar displays in: (1) the power and money symbiosis; (2) splendour of privilege and wealth. From the form, is similar to the corruption and the modern in the history of corruption, the coexistence of political status and economic benefits, must it be one second. But the reality of system structure, after all, and not in the history of the identical. System is rooted in modern corruption must use public power to catalysis and set up a market system, and corruption in the history of political privileges based on countries are doomed.
The Wall Street journal Asia in 2001 made a one thousand global most 50 list, six people "glory" list in China, they are respectively the genghis khan and Kublai Khan, the Ming dynasty eunuch liu, the qing dynasty big corrupt official and soong, howqua, and the government of the republic of China's finance minister. None of them is a real businessman, has Shared a "officer", and are not small officer. All six people is China's most powerful and close to the most powerful people. And personal property or about $1900 in 1 billion, equivalent to the country's annual fiscal revenue, empress dowager cixi embezzled navy to build their own nursing home, the Summer Palace, the record of a country of corruption.
A so-called responsible government, it is can answer question of the government. When the people's congress at all levels have the ability to challenge government revenue and spending review, and when the answer is not a serious objection to the government, the political civilization of China will enter a new era. From another Angle, the government fiscal revenue and expenditure plans should be quite a transparency, people's congress shall have the ability through the democratic process review, this will mean further on political burden for the government, from the heavy responsibility and power. There is no doubt that time is needed to do this and conditions. Objectively speaking, the ancient Chinese government officials at all levels are not only provides the people with inferior quality-high price public services, management of public affairs, at the same time has definitely take long a pair of hand - especially to learn effectively is a piece of cake. On the issue of corruption, the first priority is system rather than the individual character, China has kept in one of the ills of public management system is that it never know, also don't want to clear up the following deal with office routine should spend how many money, and how much money should be paid to the people in the government is reasonable. In short is much less money, the government didn't have enough money, so to connive at random to receive the money "policy", or allowed to trade power function, the result is the "rules" of each district is different, the administrative management is messed up.
It is easy to understand, if meet the reasonable demands were not reasonable, is bound to rely on is not a reasonable way to meet, it's hard to see between reasonable service charges and exploiting MinCai gold line. Modern administrative accountability system is the center of gravity down, by the taxpayer look at "how many people, spend how many money, how much matter", at this moment, the eyes of the masses, the government at a higher level easier then; While traditional accountability is eyes upward. Practice proves that the ancient and modern, the lower officials to fool the people, and deceive supervisor how astonishing how much enthusiasm and efficiency.
