China is a nation that stresses "no faith, no standing". If before this, people's understanding of honesty and trustworthiness mostly focused on personal cultivation and morality, then after more than 3 years of experience in reform and opening up, more people realize that market economy is credit economy, and credit is not only a virtue, but also a system and a culture.
The issue of honesty has always been a topic of widespread concern in China, and "Chinese dishonesty" has even become a label. According to the data, the average bad debt rate of Chinese enterprises is as high as 1%, which is much higher than .5% of European and American enterprises. Moreover, more than 7% of debtors in China do not consciously fulfill their obligations determined by legal documents. It is not only the problem of repaying loans on time, but also the problem of credit card repayment, including the failure to pay water and electricity bills and the inability of enterprises to strictly follow the contract in our lives. Plus, all kinds of shanzhai are rampant, fake and arrogant, steel bars can be lengthened and slimmed down, papers can be written on behalf of others, and academic qualifications can be pheasants … all kinds of unbearable, countless.
Benevolence, propriety, wisdom and faith-these are the "five permanents" in the traditional Confucian moral system, and Old Master Q's famous saying "People don't stand without faith" is also well known to women and children. The issue of honesty is half related to moral construction and half related to law and system. Honesty is an important part of socialist core values, and all citizens have the responsibility and obligation to stress, keep and value honesty.
at present, the principle of profit-seeking under the market economy and the fast-paced social transformation make the simple moral construction more and more pale and powerless. Even in a civilized society, it is impossible to build a certain social order only by personal morality and conscience. Comparatively speaking, it is more reliable to build an honest society by law and system. In recent years, from the central government to the local government, although the rectification of outstanding problems in the moral field has been strengthened, the problem of dishonesty still exists. Punishing dishonesty is an important part of the construction of social credit system. If there is no certain system as a guarantee and there is a "soft rib" in implementation, the road of punishing "Lao Lai" will not go too far.
a good system needs to be implemented well. In the future, multi-department joint punishment and a unified credit information platform will play an important role, and at the same time, it is necessary to improve the exit mechanism and prevent improper use of information. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen guidance. After the relevant enterprises and individuals fulfill their legal obligations, "dishonesty" should not be their lifelong label. I believe that through joint punishment and unified platform construction, the whole society will form a good atmosphere of honest management and keeping promises.
"like" the trustworthy and "blacken" the faithless. Only in this way can the faithless feel the pressure from all aspects of society, and restrain their behavior under all kinds of pressures that are not free and inconvenient, and honesty will be "externalized in form and internalized in heart" as a basic quality.
