【新唐人2012年11月23日訊】日前，貴州畢節5名流浪兒童為了避寒，在垃圾箱中取暖，因一氧化碳中毒而死亡。這一悲劇迅速成為中國社會和公眾關注、討論的焦點，有的人認為，這是政府不作為引起的，也有人指出，專制體制維護的是統治者的利益，與歐美民主國家對比，歐美投入教育與社會保障的經費佔較大比例，系統健全，因此不會發生這樣的問題。下面請看本臺記者帶來的報導。
11月16號，5名男孩在垃圾箱內生火，導致一氧化碳中毒死亡，這一現代版「賣火柴的小女孩」悲劇，震撼了海內外，迅速引發了海內外各界以及媒體的關注。
《南都網》指出，垃圾箱中死亡的5兒童至少流浪了兩個月，他們的家長11天前就已報案。
《新京報》證實，死亡的流浪兒童家徒四壁，他們的家人長年外出打工，其中2名孩子的家長在深圳，也是靠「撿垃圾、收廢品」為生。這些年齡從9歲到13歲的5名男孩常年輟學，只有1人上學，也經常蹺課。
《英國廣播公司》認為，中國社會在發展和變革中有再沉重的包袱、再複雜的矛盾、再糾葛的利益，也決不能讓傷害落在孩子們的身上。
時事評論員藍述：「政府沒有花足夠的錢在社會保障系統上，跟美國做一個對比：加利福尼亞州政府的預算超過一半是用在和教育有關的項目上，中國算是世界GDP第二的大國，他用在教育有關專案的經費上，可能還不到5%。 」
美國政府2004年的支出，45%用於社會保障和醫療衛生等民生方面，而地方政府的總支出，用於教育衛生、各種社保的支出比例，更高達70%﹔據「中央黨校」教授吳忠民的測算，2006年，中國在基本民生方面的投入，佔GDP的比例，在全世界排名倒數第一。
《騰訊》以話題「五個孩子悶死真的只是意外嗎？」對網民進行了調查，截至11月22號0點20分，有108,425人表示「不是」，只有3,044人表示「是」。網友還對戶籍制度、「義務教育」的極端不公平、社會的兩極分化等，都做了批評。
在強大的輿論面前，畢節市七星關區副區長，以及民政局、教育局等多位官員和校長因此被停職、撤職。
荷蘭武術老師忠和：「中國雖然經濟上發展了，但是獲得利益的人、獲得蛋糕的人都是共產黨政府官員，這個蛋糕在普通老百姓是分得很少的。共產黨這種獨裁專制這是必然的，這不新鮮，在西方文明不存在這些問題的。」
不過，按照官方資料，2010年中國的GDP已經位列世界第二位，2011年城鎮居民人均總收入23,979元，農村居民人均純收入也已達6,977元。但是，代表收入差距的基尼指數，在中國早已突破所謂的0.40——「國際警戒線」，專家聲稱已突破0.5，代表人民的收入差距懸殊。
荷蘭武術老師陳忠和指出，對比高幹的公子車禍死在千萬的法拉利跑車裡，窮人子弟則為避寒死在垃圾箱裡，這是多大的反差。但是像荷蘭這樣的民主國家，人民的貧富差距和生活水準差距並不明顯。陳忠和說，中共十八大卻認定民主制度是邪路。
據《美國之音》報導，最先曝光流浪兒童死在垃圾箱裡面的畢節異議人士李元龍，21號下午被當局控制，「被旅遊」。
福建網友張德綿：「中國百姓就是沒有機會說話的權利，說話都不給你說。如果你說了對政府有損害的，他馬上就幹掉你。他就是用這個卑鄙的手段！」
曾受到「強拆」待遇的福建網友張德綿還表示，在中國，因言獲罪的人太多，老百姓生活太艱難。他對中共已經無語了！

Real-Life Chinese Little Match Boys Shock Community
Five Chinese streets boys were suffocated in a large
trash bin in Bijie, Guizhou Province, that they had heated to stay warm.
This tragedy became the focus of public attention in China.
Some people comment that the administrative inaction of
the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) authorities caused this tragedy.
Some others say, in an autocratic state, government
spending is only used to safeguard the ruling elite’s interests.
By contrast, in democratic countries, education and
social welfare are important in any state budget and this kind of tragedy is rare.
Nov. 16th, five Chinese streets boys were suffocated
in a large trash bin in Bijie, Guizhou Province.
This real-life Chinese Little Match Boys’s tragedy has shocked
the world and has become the focus of media attention.
Nddaily.com reported that the five suffocated boys
had truanted for at least two months before their deaths.
Their parents had reported them as missing to the police
11 days before, said the news report.
The Beijing News newspaper confirmed that all the year
round, these boys’ parents, in poverty, worked outside the town.
Two of these parents lived by trash collection in Shenzhen.
Among these five permanent school leavers,
only one boy attended school, but often skipped class.
The BBC Chinese service quoted media comments.
It said that no matter how heavy the burdens, how
complex the conflicts and how tangled the interests that
China is laden with in its course of development,
children should never become victims.
Critic Lan Shu: “There’s no availability of sufficient funding
allocated to social welfare in China.
But in California, over half of the State Budget
goes to education.
China is a country with the 2nd highest GDP in the world.
But its educational spending is probably within 5% of its GDP."
Reportedly, 45% of the U.S. federal spending in 2004 went
to social welfare, people’s livelihood and healthcare.
70% of its total state budgets were allocated to education
and social welfare benefits.
Wu Zhongmin, professor at CCP’s Central Party School,
estimated that in 2006, China ranked last in the world
on governmental investment in people’s basic livelihood.
Qq.com conducted an online poll on topic,
“Did the five boys just die from unexpected suffocation?”
As of Nov 22, over 108,000 votes say No,
around 3,000 votes say Yes.
Online comments also include criticism of China’s
household registration system,
the inequity of alleged “compulsory education",
and social polarization.
Under strong social pressure, several local officials in Bijie
have reportedly been suspended or removed from office.
Chen Zhonghe (Martial arts teacher, Holland): “The real
beneficiaries from China’s economic growth are CCP officials.
Ordinary citizens have gained very little.
This is an inevitable result under CCP dictatorship,
but unknown in Western democratic countries."
CCP official data show that in 2010,
China was the world’s 2nd largest country by GDP.
In 2011, Chinese urban residents’ per capita income
reached 23,979 yuan, rural residents’ per capita net income was 6,977 yuan.
However, China’s Gini coefficient level has risen past the
internationally accepted “danger level” of 0.40.
Reportedly, it has exceeded 0.5, according to experts,
which indicates a wide income gap.
Chen Zhonghe thinks it is a sharp contrast that CCP official
princelings died in a car crash in a Ferrari luxury sports car,
while five boys died in a trash bin just to fend off the cold.
Chen says that in Holland,
the rich-poor gap isn’t that large.
However, the CCP alleges that the path to democracy
is an evil way, he says.
The Voice of America reported that Li Yuanlong,
dissident in Bijie who was the first to expose the tragedy,
was under local authorities’ control on Nov. 21,
to “go traveling”.
Zhang Demian (Netizen in Fujian):
“Chinese people have no chance to speak out.
You’ll face death threats if you say anything against
the authorities, they are despicable!”
Zhang Demian is also a victim of the CCP regime’s
forced house demolition.
He says that there’re too many Chinese citizens who
have been criminalized for free speech.
Ordinary people are living in hardship in China.
No words can describe how he feels towards the CCP, according to Zhang Demian.
