The National Bureau of Statistics released GDP data for 2023, showing that the mainland economy grew by 6.8%, the highest in nearly a decade. As soon as this data came out, it attracted widespread attention and praise at home and abroad. However, behind this data, there is a surprising secret.
A secret that is enough to make you deeply doubt the level and integrity of this class of experts.
1. How do experts explain the 150 billion black hole?
This secret is the 150 billion black hole. What is a black hole of 150 billion yuan? To put it simply, when the National Bureau of Statistics calculates GDP, it also counts some non-existent income and expenditure. These revenues and expenditures come from bogus projects and contracts, which are fabricated by some officials and businessmen for personal gain.
These projects and contracts, although they exist on paper, are not implemented in practice and do not produce any economic benefits. This creates the illusion that the state's revenues and expenditures are much higher than they actually are. That's the 150 billion black hole.
It turned out that in October this year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission jointly launched a nationwide anti-corruption campaign to thoroughly investigate and examine some officials and businessmen suspected of corruption, misappropriation, false reporting, and other violations of discipline and law. In the process, they discovered some amazing facts.
They found that the GDP figures in some places are significantly higher than the actual level, and there are huge differences in fiscal revenues and expenditures in some places. After further verification and analysis, they found that behind these data, there were some fake projects and contracts, involving hundreds of units and individuals, and the amount involved was as high as 150 billion.
These projects and contracts were included in the statistics at the beginning of this year, when the National Bureau of Statistics conducted GDP accounting. That is to say, at the beginning of this year, the GDP data released by the National Bureau of Statistics actually contained a false component of 150 billion.
As soon as this news was exposed, it caused a sensation and indignation in society. People have questioned how the experts of the National Bureau of Statistics made such a mistake? The experts of the National Bureau of Statistics have not been able to give a clear and convincing answer to these questions.
They only said that the error was due to a number of technical and procedural reasons and was an accidental phenomenon that would not affect the overall accuracy and credibility of the GDP data. They also said that they have taken some measures to correct and adjust this error to ensure the authenticity and rationality of the GDP data.
However, these words did not make people feel satisfied and reassured. People feel that these remarks are too perfunctory and prevaricating, and do not explain the truth and root cause of the problem. They are just making excuses and exculpating their mistakes, and defending their power and status.
These words are only deceiving and fooling the people, harming and undermining the interests of the country, and endangering and threatening social stability. Do the experts still have a little bit of shame and remorse?
Second, how can the double standards of experts be convincing?
What makes people even more angry is that these experts, when confronted with the problem of anti-corruption, have shown a double standard and a two-faced attitude.
On the one hand, they have shown an indifference and silent attitude towards anti-corruption actions, unwilling to cooperate and support, and unwilling to accept and undertake.
On the other hand, they have shown a zealous and positive attitude towards the lives of the common people, constantly proposing and promoting, publicizing and boasting, guiding and proposing.
On the one hand, they turn a blind eye to their mistakes, ignore them, do not deal with them, and do not respond to them. On the other hand, for the problems of the people, they are constantly paying attention, actively responding to them, and replying in a timely manner. In addition, they are relentless in defending their own interests, at any cost and by any means.
However, they ignore the interests of the people, ignore them, and are irresponsible. How can people be convinced and respected by such a double-standard and duplicitous attitude? Respect and reverence for the common people and society, and a little bit of loyalty and responsibility?
3. How can people rest assured that experts are powerless?
What is even more worrying is that these experts, when confronted with the lives of ordinary people, have shown an attitude of powerlessness and inaction. Although they have continuously proposed and implemented some policies and measures, claiming to improve and enhance the people's living standards and quality, in reality, they have not achieved any substantive results or results.
Although they continue to publicize and boast about some data and indicators, claiming to show and prove the country's economic development and social progress, they do not actually reflect any truth and rationality.
Although they constantly supervise and evaluate some projects and contracts, claiming to guarantee and improve the country's fiscal revenue and expenditure, they have failed to prevent and curb some false and wasteful phenomena and problems. Although they continue to guide and suggest some industries and fields, claiming to promote and innovate the country's science and technology and culture, they have not led and promoted the direction and path of some breakthroughs and development.
How can people rest assured and trust these experts with such an attitude of powerlessness and inaction? What people have seen is that these experts have displayed a weak and incompetent posture when dealing with some major issues concerning the state and the nation, and they dare not challenge and oppose some unjust and unreasonable status quo.
When confronted with some common problems that have a bearing on the people and society, these experts have shown a cold and ruthless attitude, unwilling to listen to and understand the people's demands and difficulties, and unwilling to care for and help the people's life and development.
These experts show a selfish and greedy attitude when they are involved in some professional issues that concern themselves and their peers, only caring about their own fame and status, pursuing their own interests and reputation, competing for their own power and resources, and protecting their own interests and circles.
Fourth, how can people admire the moral degradation of experts?
What is even more disappointing is that these experts, in presenting their own character and demeanor, show a characteristic of moral degradation and lack of personality. Although they possess advanced knowledge and skills, they do not use them to serve the country and society, but to seek their own personal interests and deceive others.
Although they enjoy high status and authority, they are not used to guide and educate the people, but to oppress and bully the weak.
How can people admire and admire these experts with such a trait of moral decay and lack of personality?
What people expect is that these experts will be able to put the interests of the country and the nation first, the needs of the people and society as the foundation, be guided by the spirit of science and reason, and be guided by the attitude of integrity and responsibility. These experts can have the courage to fight corruption and integrity, dare to innovate and forge ahead, are willing to contribute and serve, and are willing to learn and Xi and progress.
These experts can also become the pride of the country and the nation, the wealth of the people and society, and the pioneers of science and culture.
Do you still have a little bit of understanding and awareness, or a little bit of courage and determination, a little bit of action and change?
