The official newspaper of the Communist Party of China reported that the declaration of government officials’ assets in China now has three major problems in statistics, conversion and supervision and thus it needs at least ten years to make use of this system more efficiently, but “if the government has enough determination to fight against the corruption, it is possible to see this system carried out soon”.
The declaration and publishing of government officials’ assets has already become a common or even boring topic for the mass. In recent years, numerous scholars and representatives of the NPC made this proposal which always received the government’s positive reply along with the excuses of “immature conditions”, “difficulties in fully spreading” which were later replaced by the sayings that “relevant research has been launched”, “draft was under preparation” or “progress has been made”.
We all know that the government official and must open their financial conditions to the public. This owns unmatched importance for China to be a corruption-free country. Though the Chinese government has already acknowledged this and fixed the orientation of the general policy, but progress is hard to get when it comes to the practical implementation and pro- motion.
Is it that difficult to open and declare the assets of “public servants”? The aforementioned report listed a variety of reasons such as the real name system in finance, unconsummated taxation system and insufficient protection from personal assets and inefficient implementation of various levels of government. It also reported the difficulties in statistics, conversion and supervision. In truth, the difficulties and reasons have been talked about for untold times and the public question centers on whether these difficulties exist or whether they can be overcome, which might be the root of the stagnant popularization of this system.
The most underlined part of this report is the “10 years needed to fully implement this system”. People find this number frustrating and their hope built by the previous words related with“draft” or “step-by-step progress” was soon annihilated. Many people also saw the “but” behind this and the following sentence starting with “if”. Maybe their expectation is not completely gone.
According to a survey made by the Chinese Association of Social Sciences, 70% of the public servants thought that it was necessary to open the government officials’ assets to the public and the scope of assets should cover personal cars and stocks. Such a proposal was even accepted and supported by 91.3% of the senior government officials like the mayor of a city or the head of a provincial department. The high recognition for publishing the officials’ assets among the government officials, who were thought to be the biggest hurdle for this system, might be the most important and biggest momentum for“China to fight against corruption”. Previously, the experiments of this system were made among the grass-root officials but met the failure eventually. The cases in Taiwan and Hong Kong told us that senior government officials should be the first target of this system. Maybe it is time for the central government to change its mind.
The determination of the central government to fight against the corruption is the key weapon for carrying out the declaration of government officials’ assets in China. We may not expect it to“come out soon”, but of course it should let us wait for ten years. As only technological and systematical hurdles stand in the way of spreading this system, its implementation deserves expectation. Moreover, declaring and opening government officials’ assets to the public is not the end of anticorruption war. It should be followed by supervision of media and the mass and, most of all, the punishment for the officials with malpractices.
