【新唐人2014年03月07日訊】在今年中共的「兩會」上，國務院總理李克強作政府工作報告時提出：各級政府預算和決算都要向社會公開，部門預算要逐步公開到基本支出和項目支出，而且所有財政撥款的「三公」經費都要公開，讓群眾「看明白、能監督」。可是，翻開今年「兩會」的預算報告，只找到「公共安全支出2050.65 億元，增長6.1%」一項，此外再也沒有相關項目。那麼，所謂的「維穩費」縮水銳減了嗎﹖請看以下報導。

一年高於一年的大陸國防預算，已經連續4年調高，今年的國防預算再成長12.2%，達到8082億人民幣。而官方所謂的「公共安全預算」，也就是「維穩費」，也已連續幾年超出國防軍費預算，而成為近年「兩會」的焦點之一。

「維穩預算」數字一般在「兩會」的財政預算報告中公布，今年的相關數字卻只有「公共安全支出2050.65 億元，增長6.1%」一項，造成外界無從得知今年的維穩經費整體預算，是否再次超過軍費﹖

據香港《明報》報導，去年「兩會」的預算報告厚達70頁，今年刪減到36頁。而有關「維穩預算」的數字，去年除了2029.37億元的「中央公共安全支出」外，後面第39頁的「2013全國公共財政支出預算安排情況」，第11個附表中，第4項「公共安全」上，清楚顯示﹕2012年執行數「7077.91億」，及2013年預算數「7690.80億」。

那麼，今年「被消失」的「地方政府公共安全支出」哪裏去了﹖

浙江杭州民主人士陳樹慶﹕「如果是中央和地方加在一起的話，中央在增加，地方也在增加的話，那麼今年的維穩經費，它所謂的公共安全預算，實際上又遠遠超出國防開支，軍費開支。現在總的維穩到底是多少，無法比較了，就可以掩蓋。」

過去一年，中國民間接連發生大規模的群體性事件，新疆也不時爆發襲擊事件。去年十月，曾發生來自新疆的維族人駕車衝撞北京天安門金水橋爆炸事件，而最近雲南昆明火車站砍人流血事件，更震驚世界，令中共當局維穩壓力大增。

媒體分析指出，發生昆明血案後，當局在新疆等地維穩的任務有增無減，加上國安委去年剛成立，今年各地維穩費只會有增無減，當局為免遭「維穩費超過軍費」的批評，索性隱藏地方政府維穩支出。

大陸維權人士張先生﹕「它（中共）是害怕維穩經費太高了，引起的輿論影響太大了，大家都在追問維穩經費為甚麼這麼高? 用到哪裏去了? 為甚麼比軍費還高?相當於內戰這麼高!實質上它大部分用於截訪、反恐，跟鎮壓公民運動。三項的費用都在大幅的增加。」

香港《東方日報》6號引述消息說，因新疆局勢緊張，中共中央計劃擴編武警部隊，其中計劃將十萬陸軍轉為武警，設十個武警機動師，令全中國武警機動師，由目前的14個增加到24個。

張先生﹕「（官民）矛盾的根源就是在於它(中共)專制獨裁製度，『恐怖』的根源是在於專制制度。費用越多，將來引起的矛盾也會越來越大。現在經濟已經下滑了，再把費用用到維穩方面的話，只能說，加速自己的崩潰。解決不了問題。」

陳樹慶﹕「只要它(中共)的思路，就是: 將人民作為治理對像，而不是服務對像，將中共自己凌駕於國家、凌駕於法律、凌駕於民權之上的那種觀念不改的話，它的維穩費會越來越大，社會矛盾會越來越激化，那社會問題也會越來越多，直到它的財政支出不堪重負。我覺得要解決這個根本上的問題，只有還政於民，讓人民的選票來決定國家的事。」

大陸維權組織「中國天網人權事務中心」負責人黃琦，也向媒體表示，今年中共官方提及的公共安全開支，未能真正反映到實際「維穩費」的多少，但即使官方增加維穩開支，也無助於把根源問題解決，相反，只會加深官民之間的矛盾。

Where has this Years Stability-Maintaining Budget “disappeared to?"

On this year’s Sessions of National People’s Conference (NPC)

& Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC),

Premier Li Keqiang stated in a report based on the

Work of the Government:

All levels of governmental budgets and

actual budgets shall be open to the public;

All governmental departments’ budget will gradually be

published, disclosing the basic expenses and project item costs,

and all three public expenses including overseas trips,

vehicle purchasing and maintenance, and official receptions,

will be open to the public.

This will then allow the public to “clearly understand

and monitor such things".

However, when looking at this year’s NPC & CPPCC’s budget report,

only one item of “public security expenses,

of which was 205.065 billion RMB with a growth rate

of 6.1 percent", can be found without any other

relevant items existing.

The so-called “stability-maintaining cost" has been

sharply reduced? Let’s watch the program.

The continual increase of the defense budget has been

maintained during the past four years.

This year has achieved 808.2 billlion RMB (US$ 130 million)

with a growth rate of 12.2 percent,

whereas the so-called official “public security budget",

known as “stability-maintaining cost",

has continually exceeded the defense budget.

This has become one of the much highlighted hot topics

during the recent sessions of the NPC & CPPCC.

“Stability-Maintaining Cost" is generally published

in the financial budget report of NPC & CPPCC.

But this year there is only one item of “public security expenses

205.065 billion RMB with a growth rate of 6.1 percent" in the report,

which makes the public unable to know the entire budget

of the “Stability-Maintaining Cost" and whether

it is more than the military budget again?

According to the Hong Kong-based Ming Pao newspaper report,

last year the budget report of NPC & CPPCC has 70 pages,

but only 36 pages exist for this year.

The “Stability-Maintaining Cost (SMC)" in last year’s

report shows,

“2013 National public expenses budget items" on page 30,

and the fourth item “Public Security" of the 11th attached table,

summarizes that the actual budget for SMC in 2012 is

“707.791 billion RMB" and the budget for SMC

in 2013 is “769.080 billion RMB".

So, where is this year’s missing “local governments’

public security expenses"?

Democracy activist Chen Shuqing from

Hangzhou City of Zhejiang Province:

“If put together the increasing SMCs from central government

and all local governments of this year,

then the so-called public security budget will be

far more than the defense budget again.

So how much is the SMC for this year?

There is no way to compare them and then the difference

can be hidden from us."

During last year, large-scale group events

continually happened in China.

There are serious violence attacking events in Xinjiang

from time to time.

Last October, people from the Uyghur group ( Turkish ethnic people),

drove their car in to the Jinshui Bridge at Tian’Anmen Square in Beijing.

Recently, the bloodshed event which occurred in Kunming Railway

Station of Yunnan Province,

has severely shocked and disturbed some quarters in the world.

Its a reflection of the strain the people are experiencing,

while Chinese Communist Party (CCP) go to such lengths

to maintain stability.

Media reports say, after Kunming’s bloodshed case,

the local authorities still go further to enhance

the local stability maintaining tasks.

In addition, the State Security Committee

was just established last year.

So local governments’ SMC will increase rather than decrease.

The CCP authorities have removed the local governments’ SMC

(Stability-Maintaining Cost),

in order to avoid the criticisms of many on the issue of

“SMC exceeding the defense budget".

Mainland human rights activist Mr Zhang:

“(The CCP) fear that SMC is too high,

consequently igniting the strong public opinion

of people in China.

Because all people are now questioning why the SMC

is so high, and where is it allocated to?

Also why is it higher than the military budget?

And how come the SMC is as high as the cost

of a civil war!

Essentially, most of the SMC is used for intercepting

the appealers, anti-terrorism and suppressing citizen movements.

All three categories have increased to a dramatic extent."

On March 6, Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily News,

cited a news source reporting,

due to the intense Xinjiang situation,

the CCP are planning to expand the military police force.

It is planned to convert 100,000 land force personnel

into military police.

Setting up another 10 new mobile military police divisions

with a total of 24 mobile military police divisions.

Mr Zhang: “The conflict (between the officials and the people)

has a root source, i.e. (the CCP’s) monocracy regime.

The ‘terror’ exists within the origin of the

totalitarian regime.

The more money they spend on this aspect,

the larger the resultant conflicts will become.

Now the economy is on a downturn and if CCP intends on

intensifying its stability maintaining ethics,

this will surely increase the speed in which CCP finally

collapses. This method will not resolve anything."

Chen Shuqing: “As long as the CCP has this thought:

regarding the people to be only governed, rather than to

be served,

to not deny the idea of placing the CCP beyond the nation,

the laws and the people’s rights,

then the CCP’s SMC will increase along with the increase

in greater conflicts within the society.

This will result in more social unrest, bringing with it

more of its own problems and conflict,

finally achieving and reaching the point where its financial

ability cannot afford the SMC.

I think, in order to solve the fundamental problem,

the only way is to return the power back to the people

and let the voters decide the affairs of the nation."

Mainland human rights organization “China Tianwang Human

Rights Service" founder Huang Qi told the media,

the public security expenses as mentioned on the official report,

do not reflect how much the actual SMC is.

But even if the authorities increase the SMC, this will be helpless

for solving the origins of the problem.

On the contrary, this will only intensify the conflicts

between the authorities and the people.
