【禁聞】亞運負債幾千億 誰來「買單」？

【新唐人2011年2月25日訊】中國工程院院士、廣州人大代表鍾南山，在2011年廣州兩會上披露，去年，廣州舉辦亞運會，負債達2100多億元。亞運結束後，還有部門以亞運名義申請超過3800萬元撥款。他擔心，背著這麽大的債務，最後誰來「買單」？

2005年廣州在國務院會議中承諾，辦亞運不超過20億元（人民幣）。據鍾南山翻查資料發現，亞運的直接和間接投入很大，總投資2577億元，遠高於官方公布的總花費1200億元。其中廣州投資1950多億，帶來債務2100多億元。

另外，雖然廣州亞運早已結束，但今年在提交部門預算中，以亞運為名申請的預算支出，還包括有廣州市外事辦的「亞運會外事接待專項經費」490萬元、共青團廣州市委的「第三批亞運城市志願行動計劃專項經費」2862.7萬元、以及廣州市檔案局468萬「亞運檔案工作專項經費」，總計高達3820.7萬元。

鍾南山擔心，廣州背著這麽大的債務，誰來「買單」？

廣東汕頭居民蔡耀斌：「這個，當然還是老百姓來買單啦！政府的話，只管做，只管收錢，然後，這些債務全部都是老百姓承擔。你看，現在物價，還有房地產都漲得蠻高的，這些就是變相的回收，政府在變相的回收，就是回攏他的資金。」

中山大學法學院教授黃建武表示，政府一開始說只要20億，到後來屢次改變預算數目，有沒有向人大報告？人大是否有審核？政府自己拍腦袋決定，有沒有尊重人大、尊重民意？

廣州居民金白：「對於這個事情，完全是不知情。因為他這個人大，你廣州市人大都不清楚這個錢是怎麼花的？你說，我們廣州市市民怎麼能知道這個錢怎麼花的？因為，他整個過程都是稀哩糊塗的，我們都不知道，肯定是很浪費，肯定是很多地方是有毛病，這是肯定的。然後，還有估計花了很多錢用在維穩上面。」

據廣州農村扶貧計劃顯示，今年安排扶貧的財政支出為7.9億多元，88個貧困村平均只分得五十萬。

五十萬元可補到甚麼？有網民斥責當局好大喜功，大手筆投入在市政建設、搞大型活動，但改善百姓生活的支出卻頻呼手緊。

廣州居民金白：「那很簡單啊！做大工程得好處的是一些可以從中分一杯羹的那些官員吧！至於債務嗎？跟官員當然沒有關係，債務是全體老百姓的。」

鍾南山警告，廣州倘若死扛財政缺口，將導致百姓「遭殃」。而揹著這麼大的債務，民生怎麼辦？

Zhong Nanshan, academician of Chinese Academy of

Engineering revealed on the 2011 Guangzhou Congress

the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games left the city in debt

of over 210 billion Yuan RMB. Government agencies

even requested over 38 million in budget after

the Asian Games ended. Who will pay for the huge debt?

In 2005, Guangzhou City promised the State Council,

the Asian Games wouldn』t cost more than 2 billion.

But according to Zhong Nanshan, the actual cost of

the Asian Games reached 257.7 billion Yuan RMB,

much higher than the official number 120 billion.

Guangzhou city invested over 195 billion RMB,

and was left in debt of over 210 billion RMB.

Moreover, even after the Asian Games ended,

Guangzhou government agencies are still

requesting budget in the name of Asian Games.

A total of 38.2 million RMB in budget was requested

by various Guangzhou government agencies this year.

Who is going to pay off such huge debt for Guangzhou?

Cai Yaowu, resident of Shantou City, Guangdong:

“The debt will of course fall on the people again!

The government only cares about spending money,

the people have to take care of the debt afterwards.

Today』 s high inflation rate and real estate bubbles

are both forms of the people paying off debt

for the government.”

Huang Jianwu, law professor at Zhongshan University

believes that the Guangzhong government

disrespected the Congress and the People by going

over the budget for Asian Games without approval.

Guangzhou resident Jin Bai: “The people are unaware

of this, because even the city congress doesn』t know

how the money was spent. How can the people know?

The whole process is unclear and certainly wasteful.

It has to be very problematic, which requires more

money to be spent on keeping stability.”

The Guangzhou Poverty Relief Plan shows this year

790 million in budget was allocated for poverty relief,

500 thousand on average for each village in poverty.

500 thousand is rather insignificant in poverty relief.

Internet users criticized the government

for its pomposity in superfluous projects

and its parsimoniousness in improving people』s lives.

Jin Bai: “It』s simple! The superfluous projects benefit

those officials who can make a profit in the process.

And the debt falls on the people, not those officials.”

Zhong Nanshan warns that the large financial deficit

in Guangzhou will affect the people there.

So huge a debt will greatly harm the people』s interest.
