In reality, some local governments are indeed more like a government-enterprise combination that pursues the maximization of GDP. They are based on narrow local interests and shoulder the heavy task of driving up the regional economy. This is the result of the general over-emphasis on the weight of GDP indicators in the performance evaluation of governments at all levels in practice. It seems that it is difficult to be independent in any place, and it depends on institutional corrections. Regarding the corporatization of the government, the mayors and counties of nowhere have publicly declared that "we are a big company", and answered with some shame. There are also some people who don't talk about it. They take almost reckless actions to interpret and deduct, and the Santai County Government in Sichuan Province is an example. CCTV Focus Interview Report: After the Wenchuan Earthquake, the Sandai County Government allocated 90 million post-disaster reconstruction funds allocated by the state to the county-owned state-owned enterprise Hongda Company to increase its registered capital, and the company allocated 80 million of them to its subordinates. Real estate development enterprise. In this way, the national disaster relief funds have not been earmarked, but have been taken by enterprises to start real estate development.

Either the "corporatization" of a government that competes with the people for profit, or the "corporatization" of institutions that operate as their own stores, is an important manifestation of corruption, and is therefore an important object of the anti-corruption struggle. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee and the Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made new arrangements and put forward new requirements for anti-corruption work. People are eagerly looking forward to the rigorous implementation of various new measures. They are eager to use the system to eliminate the rent-seeking phenomenon of various groups and individuals as soon as possible, effectively avoiding the appearance of corrupt officials who are "boys with the will" and "last crazy".

A few years ago, a friend who was a local leader once introduced their local personnel operations: the standing committee is like a company's board of directors, the secretary is the chairman, the mayor is the vice chairman, and the standing committee is the director. Before studying the filling of vacancies for the next leadership positions, the organization's personnel department must first report the number of vacancies to the "top leader". If there are 10, ask him to first mention the candidate for 4 seats. "Chairman", Should be "accounting for the big head"; the mayor arranges three; the remaining places will be alternated by the Standing Committee, one per person at a time. Although this "comprehensive" introduction surprised the author of "ignorant", the speaker was serious and the listener was convinced. In the past, "some people in the DPRK are good at becoming officials", which has evolved into a modern "becoming a director and good at distributing fat". Not only have rich achievements of "selling officials", but also have established their own "family-related teams." ? I am afraid that this is also the main reason for the "worry case" of corruption in recent years. The official "new regulations" that are not called "comrades" and "bosses" are not just posts, but they are just the external appearance of this special "company" personnel relationship.

Recently, this "corporatization" of government has added new footnotes. The director of the Education Bureau of Wu'an City, Hebei Province, who ran as a private company boss, staged a typical wholesale slapstick farce. On the night when the Municipal Party Committee announced its decision to remove him from office, the outgoing Chairman of the Education Bureau unexpectedly made use of the gap between "free and unpaid" and raided overnight, signed a large number of transfer orders, and transferred hundreds of rural teachers to the city . If the director had not been exempted or too many "wholesales" at one time, such a situation of "solar power" of personnel might not have been exposed and no objection would have been raised. As for whether there are problems such as interest exchange, trading positions, cash or "futures", etc., it is necessary to wait for the final organizational conclusion. Now it is inconvenient to guess. However, "if you want to be rich, mobilize cadres," a rural teacher must spend at least tens of thousands of "buying money" to enter the city, which has been a "hidden rule" that has been popular for many years. The abnormal performance of the night shift after the former director of the Wu'an Education Bureau "Thank the curtain" caused suspicion that there might be a trade in power and money, which is also reasonable.

According to the latest report, the Wu'an Discipline Inspection Commission found that the conduct of the "wholesale order" violated the organizational personnel discipline and the cadre handover discipline. After further in-depth investigation, it will strictly investigate the responsibilities of the responsible persons in strict accordance with the party discipline and discipline rules; The problem was investigated and obtained evidence by the ad hoc group. As of 18:00 on September 20, it has not been found. The relevant personnel are still digging and digging. Once the problem of violation of laws and discipline is discovered, they will be investigated seriously. Perhaps the "wholesale transfer order" of the outgoing director in Wu'an was just a serious disciplinary incident caused by a few accidental factors "meeting up". There is indeed no problem of power rent-seeking, but it can only be said that this is a very "accidental" case because The abuse of power like this leaves too much "play space" for power for personal gain and power-money transactions, and "pure abuse" has become incredibly rare.

During the 30 years of reform, local governments are like some huge regional "headquarters". Although the leadership of the "company" has been continuously promoted and replaced, the performance of the "company"-local GDP and fiscal revenue has maintained a high growth. rate. The "Chinese Miracle" is the result of the many engines that continue to endure.

We must recognize that government and companies are fundamentally different. Local governments should not only pay attention to the economic growth of a region, but also pay attention to the income distribution of the region. They should pay attention to who will benefit from growth and who will suffer from growth. Secondly, we should realize that efficiency is not necessarily the primary criterion for measuring good and bad governments. The government should first pursue the correctness and scientificity of decision-making, and high efficiency does not help this much. We should also realize that the assessment of the government should not be done only by higher-level governments. Inspections, evaluations, rewards and punishments are implemented by higher-level departments, which can only cultivate "only obedience" local governments. In order to make a truly useful evaluation of government behavior, public opinion and public opinion participation are essential ^[1] .

To be honest, many local governments do not have much motivation for people's livelihood. It is a matter of major concern to the people's livelihood, and it is customary to show people in the form of lace, such as "10 practical things for the people." Santai County forcibly changed the central post-disaster reconstruction funds to other uses, indicating that some local governments not only have no interest in making profits for the people, but also go barefoot to fight against the people. Officials seek profits, in part for the sake of publicity, that is, to show superior political achievements to their superiors through economic growth performance. The problem is that once they pay too much attention to "profit", the selfishness of officials will inevitably breed. The productive functions of the government and its officials have been lost, and the rent-seeking functions have been increasing day by day. As a result, the government has lost "legality" in the minds of the people and turned into "distributing blocs". The consequences have caused a variety of social disturbances and dissatisfaction. I dare not imagine that corporate thinking like that of the Santai County government is generally open. There is no money to dare not use, no profit to dare to fight, and I do not know what will happen.

Governments are transformed into companies, which are different from companies in the general sense. The latter are subject to checks and balances by corresponding contracts and rules. Government companies have nothing to worry about. The government is the maker of market rules and contracts. It has compulsory powers that general market companies do not have. It does what it wants and it is "often reasonable." Maybe the officials of Santai County will be grieved in the face of the heated public opinion: Is it worthless to develop the real estate economy? Yes, the government's profit-seeking or corporatization, which is driven by the pursuit of economic growth or even the private interests of small groups, can also lead to a substantial increase in social wealth and improve the welfare of social members. What it brings more, it is not difficult to find the answer from the increasingly severe official corruption and frequent group incidents in recent years.
