According to netizens, the Space Science and Application Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences bought a memory module with a market price of only more than 600 yuan for 6,274 yuan. The Institute explained that on 23 November, IAPSO had noticed problems with the contract and that it had now been terminated.

Netizen Ma Diming: **It is often difficult to see the light of day in procurement and project bidding, and it is even rarer to be exposed by netizens and reach the fermentation level. In reality, people can only imagine how many "only buy expensive" situations.

The most uncomfortable thing is not that "only buy the expensive ones", but that this "only buy the expensive ones" is procedurally legal. The reporter called the Institute of Space Science and Application of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the response was: all the procurement procedures of this procurement activity are legal and transparent. With such an outrageous super-** procurement, how can the procedure be legal? In fact, people are not talking nonsense, if all the procedures of procurement bidding are in line with the provisions of the procurement law, it cannot be said that the procedures are illegal because they are unreliable. The so-called "procedures" are easy to manipulate and cannot effectively prevent injustice.

The procedure is operated by people, and the specific operation rules are formulated by people; Whether it is the bidding office or the supervision and examination agency, if there is a problem of equalization of interests, or if the person with real power decides the matter in one sentence, there will be no problem with the "legalization" of the procedure. For example, the procurement bidding procedure, on the surface, is public, but which product "meets the regulations" is still determined by the "insiders" themselves, as for why "only buy expensive", as long as you say "special professional needs", it is equivalent to buying what you want to buy.

The essence of this matter is that the system cannot restrain power, and power can flexibly manipulate the system, and black-box operation and private collusion are simply not something that the system can avoid. In other words, the system is not omnipotent, but power can be omnipotent. Plugging loopholes is a two-pronged approach, with both systems and more importantly, restraint on power.
