On February 1 day, at the Second Session of the 13th Zhengzhou Municipal People's Congress, Zhao Jiancai, Mayor of Zhengzhou, made a government work report and announced a series of popular projects and major initiatives in the economic field to be implemented this year. One of them stipulates that "in order to cultivate night consumption, at least one night market pedestrian street should be built in all districts of the city" (Henan Business Daily reported on February 2).
Pedestrian street can really promote economic development, and Dehua Night Market Pedestrian Street has become the city coordinate of Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou municipal government often boasts about Dehua pedestrian street, and its pride is beyond words. I hope every district in Zhengzhou is like Dehua Street. It can be seen that Dehua Night Market Pedestrian Street not only boosted the economy, but also aroused the sense of urgency for officials to make contributions. But the reality is, is it reasonable to build a pedestrian street in every urban area of Zhengzhou?
The success of Dehua Pedestrian Street in Zhengzhou City is nothing more than an important reason: geographical location! Dehua Street is located in the center of Zhengzhou, surrounded by Zhongyuan District, Erqi District and Jinshui District, with strong purchasing power. The boast of Zhengzhou municipal government is not unreasonable. However, the government work report requires every district to learn from Dehua Street. Can Jinshui District and Erqi District have such conditions as Dehua Street? Pedestrian streets are built in every district, which is obviously to drive ducks to the shelves!
Furthermore, what are the benefits of building so many pedestrian streets for Zhengzhou citizens? It is true that pedestrian street can bring a new consumption hotspot in the city, and its benefits are direct and effective. The government's statement that "in order to cultivate night consumption, at least one night market pedestrian street should be built in the urban area" also looks generous and magnificent. How much has Zhengzhou's GDP moved forward this year ... It is precisely because of the construction of these night market pedestrian streets that Zhengzhou will be stretched in some aspects of people's livelihood construction, and the construction to improve people's livelihood can only be "postponed" ... But unlike the government, people don't care how much GDP has increased this year. But whether there is enough housing, whether there is enough money to see a doctor, whether there is a perfect urban infrastructure and so on. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is useless to increase GDP without using ordinary people.
On the day when the Second Session of the 13th National People's Congress of Zhengzhou announced that at least one night market street should be built in all districts of the city, the east sidewalk of South Road at the intersection of West Street and Nanshuncheng Street in Zhengzhou collapsed. Nearby merchants confirmed that there was a large-scale landslide here last year, but although the municipal personnel placed warning signs at the entrance of the cave and conducted regular inspections, they never repaired the collapsed road surface. Zhengzhou has the heart to do practical things for the citizens, isn't it just to use the budget to improve people's livelihood issues closely related to the lives of ordinary people? Building more pedestrian streets can indeed promote and stimulate economic growth, but what is the use for ordinary people? The collapse or collapse is not because of the emergence of several pedestrian streets. Why not spend money on improving people's livelihood? Why should we stipulate that every community should build a pedestrian street?

Talk about the document 1 or the custom of the Spring Festival.
The second generation of migrant workers in document 1 is also called the urban life of the new generation of migrant workers. They were born and raised in cities, but they don't have urban hukou. They are used to urban life and really can't integrate into this society.
There are more people after the Spring Festival.
The "new generation of migrant workers" is also called "Nong Dell". They don't have as many resources as the "rich second generation" and "official second generation" to rely on or inherit, so their desire for social fairness and equal competition is particularly strong, and their awareness of rights is much stronger than that of their parents. In the period of social transformation and breaking the urban-rural dual system, "Nongdale" has been able to walk out of the land and mountains. However, the quality of life of "Nongdale" can not be changed by owning several famous brands and a set of urban housing. They need to have the same opportunities as urban people in employment, mate selection, making friends and studying. If we only position them as descendants of migrant workers and successors of urban infrastructure, they are doomed to continue the fate of their parents and strengthen the social inherent bad ideas such as bloodline theory. The "newness" of "new generation of migrant workers" lies not only in their age, but also in their group ecology and quality of life. The formulation of "new generation of migrant workers" should be a symbol of the progress of rights.
For the older generation of migrant workers, working in cities means not only the change of production mode, but also the new hope of breaking the original simple social relations and integrating into the strange and fresh urban life. How their descendants live is the most concerned issue for this group. Undoubtedly, the rise of the "new generation of migrant workers" is a test of urban civilization and civic awareness, and it also promotes the social equity and rights system to a deeper level.

1. Facing the Nobel Prize, we need more introspection.
This year's Nobel Prizes have been awarded one after another, and nothing happened to China. The only consolation for many people is that Gao Kun, who won the physics prize, is from China.
We seem to be used to this, and we can hardly hear the reflections of relevant officials and scientific elites. On the contrary, Mr. Yang Zhenning said: In 20 years, China, including Hongkong and Macau, will have scientific and technological achievements that won the Nobel Prize.
Thanks to Mr. Yang Zhenning! His predictions, like encouragement, also like comfort, more like spiritual massage, came in time and made people feel comfortable. However, if we turn a blind eye to this "20 years", turn a blind eye to the stumbling block in front of us, or turn a blind eye, then after this "20 years", I am afraid there will be another "20 years".
I mean, don't take Mr. Yang Zhenning's words too seriously. For China, after all, he is a bystander. In the face of the Nobel Prize, it is more reliable for us to introspect more. But this is precisely the shortcoming of some of us. Isn't it? Please look at the eyes of relevant people: last year, an official of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology pointed out in an online exchange with netizens that by 2008, there were 3,775 scientific research institutes in China, and China had 42 million scientific and technological human resources, ranking first in the world. The title of the media report is "China's scientific and technological human resources rank first in the world"; Although no mainland university ranks among the top 20 universities in the world, not long ago, the Ministry of Education announced "China's scientific research ability is the fifth in the world" based on the number of papers. This "first in the world" and "fifth in the world" is a remarkable achievement, as if the world's scientific and technological level is weighed, not judged by the Nobel Prize.
On the other hand, we maintain a high degree of tolerance for academic corruption, as if the "shame of scholars" has become an elusive tiger's ass. Isn't it? Xu Zhiwei, president of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lu Jierong, vice president of Liaoning University, Zhou Zude, president of Wuhan University of Technology and other people suspected of plagiarism have never heard that any of them have lost their posts as principals. We feel sad and anxious that China scientists can't win the Nobel Prize, but these university presidents who are complacent about copying other people's papers "care about him" in the face of basic academic conscience and norms, and even the whole society shrugs their shoulders lightly, revealing a helpless face, which makes people even more sad and anxious!
Looking forward to the future with ease and pleasure is much easier than getting rid of the accumulated disadvantages in the academic field, and it is easier to win applause. But it may be of little use, but it is easy to paralyze people's nerves: it seems that this Nobel Prize will also engage in the practice of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river", even if it is China's turn. If we don't even have the determination to deal with the exposed academic corruption, I'm afraid it will take "20 years" to fundamentally curb academic corruption, which will only make us farther and farther away from the Nobel Prize, not closer.
We never lack praise and self-praise, comfort and self-comfort. What we lack is a profound spirit of introspection. Facing the Nobel Prize, China lost again. At this time, what we need most is the voice of introspection-of course, it is not as comfortable as the fortune-telling in Twenty Years, but such a voice can give people more hope. (Zhang Jinling)
2.？ Publishing the truth will cause panic? Ridiculous!
Xinhuanet Beijing, July 2 1 Sunday (Reporter Zhou Furong) Recently, the rumor that "Cobalt 60 will explode" spread in Qixian County, Henan Province, causing some people to panic and flee their hometown to take refuge in nearby counties and cities.
The rumor on the Internet originated from the card source failure of Limin Irradiation Factory in Qixian County more than a month ago. On June 7th, after irradiation with Chili powder, the irradiated articles collapsed, causing the radioactive source protection frame to tilt, so that the radioactive source failed to fall into the source well and blocked the source. Whether the card source failure will cause radiation and pollution, and whether it will affect people's life and health is the most urgent need for the people to know.
However, for more than a month after the failure, the local government never released information publicly. It was not until July 13 that the Kaifeng Municipal Government held a press conference. It was in this month or so that the rumor that "Cobalt 60 will explode" spread locally through the Internet, and some people fled their hometown to "take refuge".
The belated government press conference was weak in the face of rumors circulating everywhere. On June 5438+07, rumors such as "nuclear leakage occurred in Qixian County" and "nuclear leakage caused many deaths in Qixian County" were still circulating on the Internet and mobile phone text messages. In the afternoon, some people left Qixian in many directions by taxis, tricycles, tractors and other means of transportation.
Why didn't the government release information publicly for more than a month? The relevant person in charge of Kaifeng Environmental Protection Bureau explained at the press conference: on the one hand, because the situation is not serious, there is no radiation and pollution; On the one hand, it is to avoid causing panic. I'm afraid people can only give ridiculous comments on this explanation.
Rumors stop at revealing the truth, which is extremely simple. Whether the card source failure of Limin Irradiation Plant in Qixian County belongs to "nuclear leakage", whether it will cause environmental pollution and endanger the life and health of local people, the government is the most qualified to know the truth and the most responsible to announce the truth in time and in detail. As long as the truth is announced in time, the masses will naturally react correctly. Even in the event of a "nuclear leak" accident, timely disclosure of the truth is conducive to timely evacuation and protection of the masses. On the contrary, covering up problems and avoiding contradictions can only make rumors fly all over the sky and social order is chaotic.
Some people in Qixian choose to believe rumors, not because they don't want to believe the local government, but because the local government doesn't believe the people and doesn't respect their right to know. Today, when the central government is highly concerned about people's livelihood issues, this behavior of local governments is distressing.
3.？ Sending freshmen by bus is the worst "first lesson"
A group of pictures that exposed a large number of buses at the entrance of Xiangtan University to send freshmen to school were circulated on the Internet. The photo shows that the entrance of Xiangtan University is simply a bus party, from the public security inspection car to the national health supervision car, and even the schistosomiasis control car. At the same time, the reporter also noticed such a student, a freshman who left 10 kilometers with his luggage on his back. Afraid of being late, the country boy got up at 6 am. The reason why he didn't take the bus was because he was afraid of spending money. He walked 10 km, at least saving money for lunch (Guangzhou Daily, September 2).
At the beginning of the new school year, various "first lessons" have entered the classroom. The Ministry of Education even organized primary and middle school students all over the country to watch the feature film "The First Lesson". In this opening atmosphere, the farce of "sending new students by bus" staged collectively all over the country is undoubtedly the worst "first lesson".
Needless to say, for the vast majority of poor students in China, every year at the beginning of the new school year, they will witness the scene of "sending new students by school bus". At this moment, poor students will definitely knock over the "five-flavor bottle" in their hearts: envy, jealousy, injustice, bitterness, humiliation or anger?
At the same time, those children who are out of the ordinary student status sit leisurely on the bus driven by their parents' power and see the poor students with their hands on their shoulders outside the window. What kind of mood will they feel? Is it pride, complacency, unbearable, shame or numbness?
In any case, a "psychological generation gap" rooted in the "intergenerational effect" has inadvertently crossed the school gate, dividing students under the same roof into two completely different groups: one is the "rich second generation" and the other is the "poor second generation"; On the one hand, a few privileged family members, on the other hand, the camp of most ordinary people.
In an instant, we seemed to hear a thunder in silence, and all the education about "all men are created equal" will be crushed after the bus passes by. Students will consciously or unconsciously reconfirm their "identity" and "rights" and know which side they are in an unfair situation.
Year after year, similar scenes are always staged, and all students will gradually become numb. Both people in the car and people outside the car are used to the bus that whizzes by. However, all students may think that this society is unfair and unchangeable. This is the worst result.
In fact, in the face of the most powerful social reality, all preaching and slogans are pale and powerless. A bus whizzing past the school suddenly made the inculcation in the school ridiculous. This will undoubtedly cause profound hidden harm to students' establishment of outlook on life and world view.
Therefore, "sending freshmen by bus" is the worst "first lesson". The key point is that it confirms and strengthens social injustice, which is not conducive to the establishment of college students' positive beliefs. The education department must attach great importance to this point, and take strong measures with the whole society to ban this worst "first lesson". (Zhejiang Xuanhuahua)
4. It is the responsibility of local governments and media to use "not knowing the truth" less.
Recently, a mass incident occurred in luliang county, Yunnan Province, where more than 100 people clashed with the police who maintained order. In some local news reports, it was said that "the people who didn't know the truth were incited by a handful of rural evil forces with ulterior motives ...". In this way, the Propaganda Department of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee issued a notice, demanding that the media in the whole province should not use such titles as "unruly people" and "evil forces" when reporting similar public emergencies, and should not arbitrarily label the masses with "unknown truth", "ulterior motives" and "a handful".
In recent years, some places like to use words such as "people who don't know the truth" and "people who don't know the truth" when releasing information about mass incidents. It is the first time in China that the media is so explicitly prohibited from using adjectives such as "unknown truth" in mass incidents. The Propaganda Department of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee asked the local media to "refuse to report the news media's random labeling and labeling of the masses without sufficient factual basis, even the press releases and press conferences provided by some localities and departments". This practice is worth learning from other places when dealing with mass incidents.
For mass incidents, there is still an inertia thinking of "hiding" in some places. The idea of "reporting the facts quickly" put forward by the Propaganda Department of Yunnan Provincial Party Committee is conducive to avoiding the spread of rumors, eliminating people's grievances and maintaining social stability. Among the contradictions among the people, most people's demands are reasonable. Today, with the popularity of the Internet and the convenience of information dissemination, covering up contradictions is often a cover-up, which is not conducive to timely stopping the phenomenon of harming the interests of the masses and ignoring their demands. On the contrary, it may make "small things drag on, big things drag on."
Announce the reasons for mass incidents, and you can't just open your mouth. The Propaganda Department of Yunnan Provincial Party Committee pointed out that all kinds of public emergencies and mass incidents, although complicated in origin, are often related to problems such as improper decision-making, ineffective work and untrue work style of the party committee and government. The Interim Provisions on Accountability of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government clearly stipulates that leading cadres of the party and government should be held accountable for "abusing their powers in administrative activities, forcing or instigating the implementation of illegal administrative acts, or doing nothing, resulting in mass incidents or other major events". In the case that the incident has not completely subsided, the reasonable demands of the people have not been satisfactorily resolved, and the authoritative investigation conclusions have not yet been made, some local leading cadres arbitrarily use words such as "unknown truth" to "characterize" the incident, which is suspected of perfunctory and shirking responsibility. This is not conducive to social stability, not conducive to incident handling, and not conducive to the relevant responsible persons to learn lessons.
When mass incidents happen, using less words like "I don't know the truth" and blaming hundreds of people less will actually help to resolve conflicts and calm people's grievances in time. This is the responsibility of the news media and the requirement of local governments.
5.？ It is wise to test governance in times of risk.
At present, China's development is in a period of strategic opportunities and contradictions. Frequent collective petitions and mass emergencies, as well as health, environment and disasters related to public safety, indicate the arrival of a high-risk period and pose a severe challenge to the ability of governments at all levels to cope with the crisis. From the recent mass incidents in Shishou, Hubei, Tonghua, Jilin and other places, it can be seen that the ability of some local governments to deal with public crises is still insufficient, and mechanisms such as interest coordination, information disclosure and risk early warning need to be improved urgently.
Mass incidents and public safety accidents occur frequently.
After entering the new century, the per capita GDP of China has risen to 1000 USD. Judging from the development experience of some countries, this means that social security has entered a high-risk period. Generally speaking, our society is harmonious and stable at present. However, we must also see that China is in a special historical period of economic transition and social transformation. The economic system has undergone profound changes, the social structure has undergone profound changes, the interest pattern has been profoundly adjusted, people's ideas have undergone profound changes, and the uncertain factors affecting social stability have increased significantly, with obvious characteristics in the high-risk development stage.
The main sign of the risk period is that all kinds of group events are in a high-risk situation, and their scale and influence are expanding. In the past year alone, a series of sensational mass incidents occurred in China, such as fierce clashes between police and people in Weng 'an, Guizhou, Menglian, Yunnan and Longnan, Gansu. ...
At the beginning of this year, Chen Jiping, director of the Central Comprehensive Management Office, pointed out in an interview with the media: At present, the issues of rights protection by letters and visits in the fields of rural land expropriation, urban house demolition, state-owned enterprise restructuring, law-related litigation, and veterans' resettlement are still outstanding, because the factors inducing group incidents such as illegal fund-raising, college students' employment, medical care for the elderly and environmental pollution are increasing. The task of curbing the frequent occurrence of mass incidents is very arduous.
It is worth noting that some group events are often triggered by some accidental events, and the participants have no clear organization. Many people are not stakeholders, but mainly vent their dissatisfaction, and the target of the impact is often the party and government organs or state staff. The Weng 'an incident in Guizhou and Shishou incident in Hubei all showed the above characteristics.
Another feature of the risk period is the frequent occurrence of health, environment and disasters involving public safety. From SARS crisis to influenza A, it has put forward a severe test for China's infectious disease control system; Benzene pollution in Songhua River and arsenic pollution in Yangzonghai have sounded the alarm for the development idea of one-sided pursuit of economic growth and neglect of ecological environment protection. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons and accidents in production safety put forward higher requirements for the government's ability to protect people's lives and property.
In response to the crisis, passive laziness will bring disaster.
From some influential public security incidents since last year, it can be seen that some local governments still lack the ability to cope with the crisis, and are passively slack in solving contradictions, delaying the best opportunity to solve problems, leading to intensified contradictions and causing great disasters.
Take Sanlu milk powder incident as an example. After receiving the report on Sanlu milk powder from Sanlu Group on August 2, 2008, the Shijiazhuang Municipal Government did not take active remedial measures, nor did it make any report on Sanlu milk powder to the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, nor did it report to the relevant departments in the State Council and the State Council, which further expanded the situation and led to a major food safety and hygiene incident that shocked the whole country.
On the evening of June 17 this year, a man's body was found in front of a hotel in Shishou City, Hubei Province. After investigation by the local police, it was initially identified as suicide. Because of the suspected cause of death, relatives parked the body of the deceased in the hotel, causing thousands of people to gather around, and then triggered a fierce conflict between the police and the people. An abnormal death case quickly evolved into a major mass incident, with profound lessons: after the incident, there were many rumors among the people, but the government did not come forward to clarify the facts in time; When the onlookers began to gather, the government did not pay enough attention, and the main leaders did not arrive at the scene at the first time.
Of course, there are also some local leaders who are very wronged because they have worked very hard to "react quickly" after the crisis. In May this year, after the death caused by cadmium pollution in Shitou Town, Liuyang City, Hunan Province, the Liuyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government quickly organized experts to carry out cadmium testing. Subsequently, Xianghe Chemical Plant was permanently closed, the legal representative of the plant was detained in criminal detention, and the director and deputy director of Liuyang Environmental Protection Bureau were suspended. At the same time, Liuyang actively talked with the villagers and the families of the deceased, and coordinated the handling, compensation and other related aftermath. Despite this, on July 29, hundreds of villagers flocked to the town government to ask for a medical examination and living allowance. The next day, thousands of villagers surrounded the town government and police station.
Why doesn't the government please? Jiang Guoping, deputy mayor of Liuyang City, said in an interview with a reporter who talked for half a month that it is a passive slack to accurately understand the demands of the masses and resolve their grievances. How much does excessive cadmium affect the body and how should it be treated? How much will the future production and life of local villagers be affected and how to repair it? While making material compensation to the masses, shouldn't there be more spiritual comfort? All these require the government to deeply understand the real demands of the victims in order to get to the point of the problem.
Interest coordination and information disclosure are the key points.
In the high-risk period, to prevent and deal with all kinds of risks, we must first have a high degree of foresight and make emergency and long-term plans for all kinds of risks in time.
Especially for the current situation of frequent mass incidents, party and government departments at all levels should carry out in-depth investigation and mediation of contradictions and disputes to eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. Li Hanbai, member of the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, concluded: "Although the causes of all kinds of mass incidents are complicated, the focus of contradictions is on the relationship between the party Committee, the government and the masses, which is often related to problems such as improper decision-making, ineffective work and unrealistic work style of the party Committee and government."
Secondly, when all kinds of risks are "realized", the government should strengthen its execution and respond quickly to save the day. Especially in the high-risk period of unprecedented acceleration of information dissemination, the executive power of governments at all levels to resolve the crisis is undergoing a severe test. Some experts pointed out that many incidents that caused an uproar on the Internet could have ended at a low cost, but they never made a move. In the end, netizens became the main body of the government's bill, paying huge social governance costs and government image repair costs.
In addition, communication ability is also a big weakness of some local governments. Leading cadres should take the initiative to solve problems for the masses with deep feelings for them. Looking at all kinds of mass incidents, there are often problems such as floating style of leading cadres, ignoring the interests of the masses, and tense relationship between cadres and the masses. Li Jiheng, deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, once denounced the Menglian incident: "No one listened to the words, no one followed the officials, and the masses slashed with knives. Cadres in this position, it is better to jump into the river! "
Transparent decision-making and open information are another powerful test for the government's communication ability. After the first-instance judgment of the "drag racing case" in Hangzhou, the Xihu District People's Court of Hangzhou immediately held a press conference, and the presiding judge made a detailed interpretation of the judgment for public discussion, examination and judgment. After some social events, the reason why the public does not trust the law enforcement and judicial organs in the places where the events occurred is precisely because these departments have long believed that they have natural authority in handling the events and have extremely ignored the people's right to know. The above-mentioned practice of Xihu District People's Court is precisely to change this mentality and exchange honesty for public trust. (Reporter Wu Xiaoyang)
6.？ The biggest thrust of rising water prices is not "foreign investment"
According to the Economic Observer, officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and related experts are investigating water prices in some cities. Previously, many domestic cities raised water prices, and foreign water enterprises were considered as the manipulators of price increases, and were accused of monopolizing the water market in China.
There is a lot of talk about rising water prices. This time, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development focused on foreign investment, which shows that the rising water price has attracted great attention from the central government. In fact, the statement that "the rise in water prices is suspected of foreign investment manipulation" has been mentioned earlier. However, based on the current situation of China water market, although the share of foreign capital is still low, it remains to be verified whether the trend of monopoly can be realized. If the indirect influence is not excessive, it is not excessive to use the word "manipulation" or use it as the name of "foreign capital threat theory".
Judging from the market behavior, it is normal for foreign capital to enter the water market of some cities in China and merge and reorganize inefficient enterprises. Although it is too manipulative, there are indeed some problems worth pondering when it comes to the behind-the-scenes pusher of rising water prices.
First of all, for strategic reasons, foreign capital naturally has to pay much more than the net assets of the enterprise to realize its intertemporal income. However, after careful consideration, it is not just foreign capital that will benefit. Admittedly, in the long run, foreign capital does have to raise prices to recover costs within the established franchise period, but the relationship between this and the rise in water prices is indirect and weak.
In recent years, foreign large-scale high premium strategies have been tried and tested, which are basically caused by the short-term behavior of local governments. On the one hand, the merger of foreign capital allows local governments to seize the short-term premium income and skillfully use the rising water price to pass on the water price cost of foreign capital to consumers; On the other hand, after the merger and acquisition of foreign capital, the huge burden of redundant staff in water enterprises has also been transferred to foreign capital.
Secondly, the fundamental problem of water supply has not been solved. Judging from the benefit range of public water, it belongs to national public goods. If the strategic consideration of national security is added, the supply of water resources should be provided by the central government. However, judging from the current situation in China, the focus of water industry management is at the local level, and the decision-making power of water price adjustment belongs to the local provincial government. More notably, most provinces have delegated decision-making power to city governments. The ability of local governments to provide water supply services is different, and the profitability of water supply services is low. Affected by the concept of political achievements, local governments are naturally more willing to transfer this burden.
Thirdly, the water price formation mechanism is not transparent and lacks regulatory basis. Theoretically, the basic formula of tap water price is: water price = water resource fee+(cost+normal profit)+sewage treatment fee. But every link is inseparable from the "cover-up" of local governments and water supply enterprises. At present, China's laws and regulations on water price cost supervision and examination have not yet been formed, which virtually expands the bargaining space and discretion of local governments in adjusting water prices. If the interests of foreign capital are tied up with the achievements of local governments, the black-box operation of worrying about rising water prices may be even greater.
Therefore, who is the biggest thrust behind the rise in water prices? We can't simply draw conclusions by manipulating foreign capital. But it also sounded the alarm for us from another side.
First, as the supply of water resources related to national strategic security, the government should either innovate the mechanism and seek a more effective supply model, or the central government should actively intervene to be responsible for the distribution and supply of water resources throughout the country when the effective model is still difficult to find;
Second, the short-term behavior of local governments is the result of the game with the central government, and government failure is more terrible than market failure. Managing the water market well requires great reform, which is linked to the achievements of local governments. It is an inevitable process for water supply enterprises to reduce staff and increase efficiency.
Third, the central government should comprehensively consider raising the water industry to a strategic level, take measures as soon as possible, formulate practical measures and establish an effective supervision mechanism. Otherwise, in the long run, local governments will compete to outsource urban water supply enterprises. After the trend of large-scale foreign investment is formed in the future, the fear of "foreign capital threat theory" will no longer be today's "wolf coming".
6.？ How to treat public opinion supervision from the perspective of legislative guarantee in Kunming
Recently, Kunming plans to incorporate the supervision and guarantee of news and public opinion into local laws and regulations. Some experts believe that changing "document support" into "legislative support" is an "ice-breaking move". Looking back on the road of public opinion supervision, I can't help feeling a lot. Then we think about how to treat public opinion supervision, so as to further form a * * * understanding and create a good environment for public opinion supervision.
First of all, public opinion supervision should be incorporated into the institutional design of power structure and operation mechanism. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "To ensure the correct exercise of power, we must let power run in the sun". This sunshine should first be an institutional environment, that is to say, the restriction, coordination and supervision of power should be fully reflected in the system design. This kind of supervision should undoubtedly include public opinion supervision. At the same time, public opinion supervision should be a part of supervision power, together with decision-making power and execution power, and enter the system design of power structure and operation mechanism, so as to truly play its power and role.
Secondly, we should put public opinion supervision in an important position. Premier Wen once said: "Only when the people supervise the government will the government dare not slack off." Because public opinion supervision, especially media supervision, has its inherent advantages and is the most dynamic, attractive and potential part of all kinds of supervision. Only by giving the media the power to supervise by public opinion and giving full play to its role, the power will not be inaction, chaos, private action, selective action and arbitrariness.
Third, supervision by public opinion is also the main theme. Blindly praise will only make the person who is praised intoxicated and fall into danger and predicament unconsciously. Turning a blind eye to dangers, contradictions and problems, being an ostrich will only wait for social emotions to ferment, which will not bring social harmony and stability, but disharmony and instability. Only the ubiquitous eyes and voices are watching, reminding and watching, can we avoid the dangerous beaches and reefs during the voyage, and the wind is just right. Therefore, the main theme should not only include reporting the truth, goodness and beauty, but also exposing the false, evil and ugly. The admiration of the former and the lashing of the latter are organically unified in the main theme of society. The interaction, coordination and cooperation between the two will form a spirit, embody a tolerance, condense a strength, become the mainstream and lead, and achieve harmony and beauty. The promotion of truth, goodness and beauty will inspire people to go up, and the criticism of falsehood, ugliness and ugliness will force people to go up. These are two sides of the same coin and the dialectics of social progress.
Fourth, only the media that dare to supervise by public opinion have more credibility and influence. Under the conditions of new technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones, as long as it has enough social attention, it won't be long before everyone on earth will know what happened in a remote place. In this case, if the mainstream media do not expose some abnormal phenomena and problems and analyze the hidden contradictions behind some events, the public will not trust you very much and will eventually leave you. With the continuous loss of readers, the mainstream media will gradually be marginalized. This will directly lead to the opinions, intentions and decisions of the party and the government not being effectively conveyed.
