【新唐人2012年7月21日讯】中共多个部委近期公布了2011年决算和2012年预算，以及行政经费、“三公”经费的支出情况。这是中共当局第二次向社会公开“三公经费”的预决算情况，也是首次分部门公开行政经费。经济学者指出，帐表上列出的单位都属于中央部委，这些数字本身并不能说明这个三公消费的真实数据，因为众所周知中共在各级政府都有小金库。
6月30号，中共人大常委会审查批准2011年中央决算后，财政部要求在20天内批复中央部门决算，到19号为止，已有92家部委在官方网站上公开了部门决算及“三公经费”等情况。
官方的媒体报导说，这是第二次向社会公开“三公经费”预决算情况，并且是首次分部门公开行政经费。
美国“南卡罗来纳大学”教授谢田表示，中共当局现在开始公布这种公款吃喝，公款消费，公款旅游，三公消费的数据，显然是迫于中国民众的压力和舆论压力的情况下，才公布出来的，但从公布的这些部分来看，并不是人们感兴趣的那些部门。
美“南卡罗来纳大学”教授 谢田：“人们更加有兴趣去关注的可能是那些铁道部、财政部、或者是广电总局、电信总局、新闻总署….那些更加涉及重要的问题，更有流水、更有利益的部门的预算。我们也都知道中国政府在各地政府都有小金库的问题，花费民脂民膏并不能从官方公布的数据中体现出来。”
所谓小金库，也就是中共党政各级官员可以自由支配的公款。
《美国之音》曾在一篇报导中说，所谓的小金库并不小，容纳的资金可以上万，也可以上百万。中共在中国各级政府部门的第一把手，可以不受制约的从账目中向不对外公开的小金库开支，“吃喝嫖赌都报销”。
大陆经济学者郑先生：“（当局）他们知道我们知道他们在撒谎，可是他们还是坚持在撒谎。很多时候是由于一种习惯，也有很多时候是由于….，那不是一天形成的一种惯性和机制。”
数据显示，去年，中国大陆各地各级政府的违规“小金库”已被查处近六万件，涉及资金266亿元人民币，各地党政机关的违规车辆至少17万辆。外界指出，这些数据也只是中共真实贪腐情况的冰山一角。
另外，从这次公布的2011年三公决算数和2012年三公预算数来看，不少部门三公费用不但没有减少，反而增加。比如工信部三公经费增加1120万元，中科院增加1769万元，国家发改委增加908万元。其中出国费用支出明显上涨。国家能源局披露的2011年决算显示，去年因公出国(境)费支出决算668.53万元，占“三公经费”支出的88.52%。
谢田说，全世界都知道，中共官员所谓的出国考察，其实都是旅游。
谢田：“他们这些人的，比如到美国来，也不懂英语，实际上也没有人去真正的接待他们，他们安排的那个行程日程，我们看到的90%的时间都是在游山玩水，在各个景点，好吃，好喝，好玩的地方，旅游的地方在转，可能某一天，到某一个地方听了某一个对口的机关机构给做了一个演讲，或什么它就算了，这个是众所周知的事实。”
不过，谢田指出，中国民众最应该继续关注的是，中共官员贪污的和转移到海外的钱，那才是大头。中共政权迟迟不愿公布这些官员的财产收入，实际原因也在这里。

92 Ministries and Commissions Released Their “Three Public Consumptions,” While the Hidden Coffers Remain Untold
Many Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ministries and
commissions recently released their 2011 final accounts and 2012 budgets,
along with their administrative expenses and
“three public consumptions.”
This is the second time CCP authorities have released the
“three public consumptions” data,
and the first time for individual ministries and commissions.
Economists have pointed out that the work units listed all
belong to central departments.
Thus, the data cannot reflect the real situation, because it is
known to all that the CCP has hidden coffers at each level of government.
After the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress
examined and approved China’s 2011 final accounts on June 30,
the Treasury Department was required to reply within 20 days.
By July 19, 92 ministries and commissions have released
their final accounts and the “three public consumptions” on their official websites.
According to state-owned media, this is the second time that
budgets and final accounts of the “three public consumptions” have been released,
but the first time by individual ministries and commissions.
Xie Tian, professor at the University of South Carolina, said
that obviously the CCP has begun to release the “three public
consumptions” data under the pressure of public opinion.
But the ministries and commissions which have released their
consumptions are not the departments people are interested in.
Xie Tian: “The public is more interested in the Railways,
the Treasury, the National Broadcast & TV General Bureau, the Telecommunication Bureau, and the State Press…,
which are involved in more severe problems and
whose officials are more likely to make a fortune.
We all know that China’s local governments of all levels
have hidden coffers, so the real expenses are not reflected in official data.”
These so-called hidden coffers refer to public funds
which CCP officials of various levels are able to use at will.
According to a report by Voice of America, the amount of
capital in these hidden coffers is not small, in fact.
The balance can be in the thousands up to the millions.
The head chiefs of each level can spend the money from the
coffers in secret and without limit, to cover their “dissipated life expenses.”
Mr Zheng, economist in mainland China:
“The authorities know full well that people don’t trust them,
but they keep lying, usually from habit.
But this habit is not formed over a short period of time.”
Statistics show that nearly 60 thousand “hidden coffer” cases
of all level governments have been investigated and punished last year,
involving a total of 26.6 billion yuan ($4.17 billion)
and at least 170 thousand illegal vehicles.
The outside world believes that the released data
is only a tiny part of the widespread corruption.
Also, based on the 2011 final accounts and 2012 budgets,
many departments’ spending of public funds has increased.
For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
had its budget increased by 11.2 million yuan ($1.75 million),
the Chinese Academy of Sciences
by 17.69 million yuan ($2.77 million),
and the National Development and Reform Commission
by 9.08 million yuan ($1.4 million).
Among them, the budget for overseas trips increased drastically.
According to National Energy Board’s final accounts for 2011,
the expense for overseas trips was 6.68 million yuan ($1.04 million),
accounting for 88.52% of the total public consumptions.
Xie Tian said that everyone knows that CCP officials’
so-called overseas investigation is actually overseas traveling.
Xie Tian: “These officials come to the U.S., for example,
without knowing English and nobody will actually accommodate them.
90% of their schedule is for sight-seeing,
and hunting for good food and fun places.
They might go to a talk given by a related department someday
during their visit, and thats all it amounts to. This is well known to all.”
But Xie Tian also pointed out that Chinese people should
pay more attention to the money transferred overseas by those CCP officials and that is the biggest gap.
This is also the reason why the authorities don’t want to
release the personal income data of government officials.
