【新唐人2012年11月23日讯】日前，贵州毕节5名流浪儿童为了避寒，在垃圾箱中取暖，因一氧化碳中毒而死亡。这一悲剧迅速成为中国社会和公众关注、讨论的焦点，有的人认为，这是政府不作为引起的，也有人指出，专制体制维护的是统治者的利益，与欧美民主国家对比，欧美投入教育与社会保障的经费占较大比例，系统健全，因此不会发生这样的问题。下面请看本台记者带来的报导。
11月16号，5名男孩在垃圾箱内生火，导致一氧化碳中毒死亡，这一现代版“卖火柴的小女孩”悲剧，震撼了海内外，迅速引发了海内外各界以及媒体的关注。
《南都网》指出，垃圾箱中死亡的5儿童至少流浪了两个月，他们的家长11天前就已报案。
《新京报》证实，死亡的流浪儿童家徒四壁，他们的家人长年外出打工，其中2名孩子的家长在深圳，也是靠“捡垃圾、收废品”为生。这些年龄从9岁到13岁的5名男孩常年辍学，只有1人上学，也经常跷课。
《英国广播公司》认为，中国社会在发展和变革中有再沉重的包袱、再复杂的矛盾、再纠葛的利益，也决不能让伤害落在孩子们的身上。
时事评论员蓝述：“政府没有花足够的钱在社会保障系统上，跟美国做一个对比：加利福尼亚州政府的预算超过一半是用在和教育有关的项目上，中国算是世界GDP第二的大国，他用在教育有关专案的经费上，可能还不到5%。 ”
美国政府2004年的支出，45%用于社会保障和医疗卫生等民生方面，而地方政府的总支出，用于教育卫生、各种社保的支出比例，更高达70%﹔据“中央党校”教授吴忠民的测算，2006年，中国在基本民生方面的投入，占GDP的比例，在全世界排名倒数第一。
《腾讯》以话题“五个孩子闷死真的只是意外吗？”对网民进行了调查，截至11月22号0点20分，有108,425人表示“不是”，只有3,044人表示“是”。网友还对户籍制度、“义务教育”的极端不公平、社会的两极分化等，都做了批评。
在强大的舆论面前，毕节市七星关区副区长，以及民政局、教育局等多位官员和校长因此被停职、撤职。
荷兰武术老师忠和：“中国虽然经济上发展了，但是获得利益的人、获得蛋糕的人都是共产党政府官员，这个蛋糕在普通老百姓是分得很少的。共产党这种独裁专制这是必然的，这不新鲜，在西方文明不存在这些问题的。”
不过，按照官方资料，2010年中国的GDP已经位列世界第二位，2011年城镇居民人均总收入23,979元，农村居民人均纯收入也已达6,977元。但是，代表收入差距的基尼指数，在中国早已突破所谓的0.40——“国际警戒线”，专家声称已突破0.5，代表人民的收入差距悬殊。
荷兰武术老师陈忠和指出，对比高干的公子车祸死在千万的法拉利跑车里，穷人子弟则为避寒死在垃圾箱里，这是多大的反差。但是像荷兰这样的民主国家，人民的贫富差距和生活水准差距并不明显。陈忠和说，中共十八大却认定民主制度是邪路。
据《美国之音》报导，最先曝光流浪儿童死在垃圾箱里面的毕节异议人士李元龙，21号下午被当局控制，“被旅游”。
福建网友张德绵：“中国百姓就是没有机会说话的权利，说话都不给你说。如果你说了对政府有损害的，他马上就干掉你。他就是用这个卑鄙的手段！”
曾受到“强拆”待遇的福建网友张德绵还表示，在中国，因言获罪的人太多，老百姓生活太艰难。他对中共已经无语了！

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.
