The softening power in overcrowded

 Media reports indicate that recently, the state council 88 units, statistical results show that has 29 units beyond the standard deputy minister, a total of 52 people exceeds bid up. The national development and reform commission of beyond the specified 6 people, the human resources and social security five people.
Vice minister of the state council ministries ChaoBian, director of Peking are probably didn't exception. And in place, a county dozens of assistant deputy county head, a bureau has more than ten of deputy director, early is not new. Officials in the increase, the common civil servants team are on inflation. Two meetings this year, deputy secretary of the commission for discipline inspection LiuXiRong said, 4 years, every year, an increase of 1 million civil servants. Although the national civil service bureau said that this is not true, but difficult away people doubt. Obviously, China has now entered a "official overcrowded" situation.
Officials ChaoBian, visible to the problem is to increase food allowance, waste GuoTang. Add a deputy minister, the country not only to increase the bread, benefits, health care spending, and a corresponding increase housing, office facilities, the car and driver, secretary, and other logistics service fee. Add a common civil servants spending, although and vice minister compared with less, but, every year the number of ordinary civil servants increase huge, thus adding to the administrative costs, no doubt, is very great. China's finance in total, administrative management costs nearly one 5. In 2006, for example, when China's administrative costs grow larger-to 18.73%, while Japan is only 2.38%, the UK, 4.19%, and 5.06%, France, South Korea, Canada, the United States 6.5% 7.1% 9.9%. China as high as twenty percent of the administrative costs, the most is used to keep the officer. In many places, government officials and specifically, the local finance is "have a financial", financial income is to have a meal, financial expenditure is also used to eat. The so-called "have a financial", it is to support the cadre of finance.
From the society as a whole, it RongGuan overmuch, officer overcrowded, and more recessive problem, this is the result of too much officials "reveals, internal disputes over trifles, and institutions brought inflation power expansion, both the inefficiency of the government management caused by also social economy and public life. As the saying goes, much ado about nothing. When officials too much and do nothing, they are not internal friction, is the hand of power to the society, interfere with the social order, even through the control and hu rent-seeking. Officials surplus the most common solution is, in normal institutions to set new institutions outside constantly. Recently the exposure of unusual institutions such as shaanxi xian city have "rest assured steamed bread engineering leading group office", shandong jining city multiple departments to set up a "'ll do it office ", henan shangqiu city and its subordinate counties have "it is strictly prohibited to working days drinking lunch office". One more agencies not only needs to a spending, more important is, will be more a control society, interference of market power. This kind of power become society of inhibitions, cause huge social cost.
On the one hand is guan overcrowded, overstaffing, cost huge, on the other hand, is people leave no stone unturned to enter the ranks of civil servants, this aggravated with the levels. And this kind of vicious circle the crux of, is in the nature of softening power. If can't constraints brilliant immense power expansionary, can't constraints in social distribution softening in power all the monopoly, so, want streamlining measure is simply impossible.
Will China currently officer of overcrowded facts, in Chinese history background of investigation, more can see this happen often regularity.
Democrats have huang yanpei Chinese history and dynasty "the periodicity of how his dead, Bob and also how" the law is called strived dynasty. And this kind of dynasty has some typical signs strived or signs, for example, as time advance, the officials, the tax burden and people accelerated increase, finally unbearable heavy burden, dynasty collapse, regime change, all start all over again.
History in operation of the dynasty, tax officials and the people accelerated increase burden of examples, the most typical when several SongChaoHe the Ming dynasty. The northern song dynasty the already RongGuan serious, fan4 zhong4 yan had "qingli New Deal" reform, in order to rectify management, reduce the dead wood, but soon failed. In the southern song dynasty, RongGuan is more serious. In the northern song dynasty, with more than 320 county wealth fu, support more than ten thousand civil, in the southern song dynasty, with more than 100 county wealth fu, but to feed more than twenty-four thousand officials. To the late, financial draw has reached the quota of people's burden limit, people said: "a fathers take the number of BuZhiFanJi times, people will do!" To overcome the dead wood cut the insight suggest the financial crisis, but cut officials involved complex vested interests, hard line constraints. Countries couldn't afford more officials, incredibly MaiGuanYuJue to create the adoption, bought the people to search for compensation to the people. The remedy is worse than the art of this and the southern song dynasty to the eternity struggle. And the song dynasty, the Ming dynasty also experienced officials number by less to more inflation, the middle Ming dynasty, the number of officials and generals than at the beginning of the founding increased to 4 to 8 times. Wanli period to fit the reform of the dead wood zhang juzheng, lay off some super, but, zhang juzheng died, cut the reform of the dead wood, stopped. The Ming dynasty also carry a heavy burden of overgrown to destruction. Obviously, in the expansion of the power system, the power that interests, power will lure millions of people seeking interests into officialdom, the number of official inflation is out of control.
Today China meet officials inflation, perhaps that is the seriousness of the song, but, if not keen to cut the RongGuan, streamlined, according to this kind of inertia inflation down, would not appear RongGuan drag down the regime that Ming ending. And avoid the ending of the fundamental way out is to build a truly effective democratic constitutionalism, constraints on power from the start.
