In 2008, in order to thank her teacher Mette, Xiaoting, who was studying in Denmark, spent 550 yuan to buy a silk scarf for her teacher when she returned to China for the Spring Festival.
This puzzled Xiaoting, who later learned that it was because of Danish law that public officials must not only disclose their assets, but also report gifts of more than about 300 yuan, otherwise they will be suspected of violating the law, and it is these systems that make Denmark one of the most incorruptible countries in the world.
As we all know, the system of disclosure of the assets of national public officials is one of the most fundamental and effective means to prevent corruption and maintain integrity, and this system is also known as the Sunshine Act, which originated in England in 1693 and has a history of more than 300 years.
Many countries followed suit, and the system gradually improved, such as in the United States, where civil servants are required to report financial information that includes all salary and other income.
and more than $1,000 in value**, bonds, real estate information and transactions, or investment behavior and cumulative gratuities of more than $100 should be detailed**, time and amount.
Transportation, lodging and food and entertainment received from persons other than relatives must also be converted into monetary values, with an aggregate value of more than $250 to be reported, as must any gifts received in excess of $35.
Public officials in the United States, as long as their annual salary is more than $50,000, including administrators, members of Congress, judges, etc., must declare their personal assets every year.
The U.S. civil servant's asset report began on May 15 of that year and was released to the public within 15 days, and anyone could inquire about the information and unconditionally request a copy of the civil servant's asset report.
According to a report in the 7th issue of Global People magazine in 2009, as early as 1998, China's National People's Congress drafted draft regulations on the reporting of assets and income by state administrative staff.
As early as 1994, the Law on the Declaration of Property Income was included in the legislative project, but it is confusing that until today only a few places have carried out some experiments in the disclosure of assets.
Why has the ** property publicity system not been launched for a long time? Global People magazine explained that the implementation of this system is difficult and difficult.
The fundamental reason for the delay in the introduction of the Sunshine Act is not in the technical sector, but because it involves many areas of anti-corruption and clean government, and touches the vital interests of those in power.
* The essence of the property publicity system is the system of magistrates, of course, for the governed, it is unwilling, some ** will unconsciously set up obstacles for the birth of this system and the smooth implementation in the future, here is a statement, the above are all said by global figures.
Some people also think that the so-called property publicity system is just a formality, because it is very easy to fake, obviously there are 10 million in the family, but he insists that it is only 1,000 yuan, and no one knows, so it is meaningless to publicize the property.
As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and no one knows if it is not publicized, but if a system is formed, there will inevitably be supporting supervision.
Those who do not truthfully disclose their property will be burdened with huge psychological pressure, will live in panic all day long, and will lie everywhere if they lie, and after a long time, they will inevitably be full of loopholes, and it is very difficult to fake for a long time without being discovered.
For example, the greedy Biden has a house in community A, and he also has a house in community B and community C, so people in community A know that Biden has a house and think it's normal.
People in Communities B and C also know that Biden has a house in his neighborhood and still feel that this is normal.
But if Biden conceals his property when the property is announced, then the people in these three communities will feel abnormal, and people will go to check, and this check will find out Biden's three houses, so what awaits Biden is the accusation of the court.
In fact, in this regard, our country has also been advancing, and there are similar regulations on the property of the first class, requiring cadres at and above the department level to also declare family assets.
However, it should be noted that publicity and declaration are two different concepts, and publicity is to show all the information of one's family's income and expenditure to the public, expose it to the sun, and anyone can consult it, and the purpose of this is to implement the democratic supervision system.
The declaration is only to report their family property information to their superiors, and the public is not aware of it.
Global People also wrote that a deputy procurator general of the Beijing Municipal Procuratorate once said that the current ** property declaration system is just a formality, although cadres at or above the department level have to fill out a form every six months, but then they are locked in the cabinet, never made public, and there is no special agency to carry out dynamic supervision.
So why can't the Sunshine Act be implemented in our country? What are the specific reasons for opposing this? There are probably eight reasons for the opposition.
First of all, if the scope of property cannot be clearly publicized and the authenticity of property disclosure cannot be guaranteed, then the hasty introduction of the property publicity system will not have a good effect, so the current conditions are not mature and cannot be rushed.
This reason is flat and leaky, as if nothing was said and nothing was said, and the most commendable thing is that it will never go out of style, even after a hundred years, you can use this reason to oppose it, which can be called a classic.
The second is that there is no need for us to follow the Western system, we must resolutely resist whatever the West approves of, we have our own unique system, and we should be confident and proud of this.
This reason is magnificent, and it directly raises the level of whether or not the property is publicized to the dimension of political position, which makes it impossible to refute, because the refutation is an incorrect position, and there is even a suspicion of foreign slavery.
Third, our cadres are different from the decadent ** under the Western capitalist system, they are all public servants who are honest and serve the people wholeheartedly, which is obvious to the whole world, so there is no need for us to prove this by announcing the assets of the **.
This reason is even more eloquent, full of self-confidence and heroism, and there is no reason for people to disagree, because disapproval is a denial of the people's public servant, and it will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people.
Fourth, we should strengthen unity and refrain from creating internal contradictions to sow discord between cadres and the masses.
Fifth, we have the National Supervision Commission, the Ministry of Supervision, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Corruption Prevention Bureau, the Court and the Procuratorate, and a series of institutions to prevent corruption.
It can be seen that our system is effective, on the other hand, the anti-corruption agencies in the United States and the West are just an ornament, and they can't catch a few ** a year, which is simply useless, so there is no need to require ** property disclosure.
This reason is clear to everyone, and through strong contrast, everyone understands the truth of the facts, and when it comes to this, what else can you say.
Sixth, if we want to disclose our assets, we should not only disclose the family property of the first class, but also the family property of the masses.
This reason is expected to be agreed by most people, because like me, the deposit is only three digits, if it is announced, will there be a face?
Seventh, if the property of ** is published, this is suspected of violating personal privacy, you must know that ** is also a member of the citizen, and also enjoys the same rights as ordinary people.
This reason is also logical, rigorous, reasonable, and responsible, and the privacy rights of citizens are sacrosanct, and the linkage between the disclosure of assets and the privacy rights of citizens makes people speechless.
Eighth, if the disclosure of **'s property is required, then a very small number of ** will transfer the property abroad, which will lead to the loss of domestic wealth.
As a result, Hai Rui announced the property, and He Shen transferred the property, and then let the US imperialist pick up the cheap, which can be said to be more than worth the loss, in order to prevent trouble, so the property cannot be publicized.
Although the system has not yet been formed, it seems that everything has been penetrated and transferred to the other side of the ocean, so how can it surpass the US imperialists? The so-called fertilization does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so this reason does not seem to be refuted.
The so-called royal road is difficult, the road is long and obstructive, the above are the eight reasons why the Sunshine Act has not been implemented for a long time, what do you think of these eight reasons? Welcome to the exchange**.
