Shocked! Liaoning first publicly confirmed the existence of economic data fraud.

　　Cctv newsOn January 17th, the Eighth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress of Liaoning Province opened in the People’s Hall of Liaoning Province. Chen Qiufa, deputy secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and governor, made a government work report on behalf of the provincial government. One of the highlights of the report is that it does not shy away from the problems and deviations that have appeared in the past. In his work report, Chen Qiufa confirmed for the first time that the cities and counties under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province had the problem of financial data fraud from 2011 to 2014, and pointed out that from 2011 to 2014, "official figures and figures were official", which led to the economic data being injected with water.

　　From 2011 to 2014, many economic data in Liaoning were falsified.

　　The report quoted a document from the National Audit Office in 2016: "There is widespread data fraud in the municipal and county finances under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province, which has the characteristics of long duration, wide coverage and diverse means. From 2011 to 2014, the inflated amount and proportion showed an upward trend year by year. The reporter learned from relevant channels that the year with the highest inflated rate was 2014, and the inflated rate was as high as 23%.

　　The problem of financial data fraud not only affects the central government’s judgment and decision on the economic situation in Liaoning Province, but also affects the scale of the central government’s transfer payment to Liaoning Province, reducing the available financial resources and people’s livelihood security capabilities of the city and county governments. " In addition to financial data, other economic data are also untrue.

　　Economic data fraud, predecessor dug a big hole for his successor

　　In 2014, when the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work visited Liaoning in the first round, it seriously pointed out that "there is a widespread problem of economic data fraud in Liaoning Province". "You are welcome to say that in terms of economic data, the previous one dug a huge pit." The director of the research office of a prefecture-level city government in Liaoning said sadly, "And it owes a huge debt of nearly one trillion yuan. Now Liaoning is not building on the flat ground, but climbing at the bottom of the pit."

　　Since 2014, Liaoning’s economic data is very ugly. Regional GDP is negative growth, fiscal revenue has declined by double digits for a period of time, and investment in fixed assets has dropped by 60%-70%. In 2015, Liaoning’s fiscal revenue growth showed a double-digit decline. In this regard, researcher Liang Qidong, vice president of Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, bluntly said that this cliff-like decline for a period of time is difficult to be explained by an economic model. Apart from the fact that the economy itself is really difficult, there is only one possibility, that is, the previous economic data is untrue and there is widespread fraud.

　　The New Liaoning Provincial Party Committee: Pursuing Real and Water-free Development

　　In this regard, Chen Qiufa, governor of Liaoning Province, explained in the government work report, "We have seriously squeezed water under the pressure of ugly face. In 2015, we consolidated financial receipts and worked hard to consolidate other economic data since 2016."

　　Li Xi, secretary of the provincial party committee, sternly warned the provincial party committee secretaries and the heads of major departments and bureaus for many times in the face of the falsification of data in Liaoning and the deceptive style of some cadres: whoever is in charge wants to make the local area develop faster and the data look better, which is a kind of responsibility. But we should pursue real development, development without water, and development with the unity of quality and benefit. "Never let flicker become a culture, let flicker have no market, and let flicker have no future!" .

　　The impact of economic data fraud goes far beyond the economic field.

　　The falsification of a local economic data first affects the judgment of the economic situation, the distribution of economic-related interests between the central and local governments, and the actual benefits of improving people’s livelihood.

　　However, the negative impact of economic data fraud goes far beyond the economic field. Once the data fraud of party and government cadres at certain levels in a place becomes a habit and pervades the wind, it is not only data fraud, but also fraud in other places and many places that need credibility. If everyone thinks that data fraud is a habit of turning a blind eye and I turn a blind eye, then the social style, folk customs and, more importantly, the party style and political style of this place will be distorted. Party and government cadres in this place will lose their morality and rules, and eventually the party Committee and government in this place will lose the trust of the people.

　　Solving data fraud: immediate pain and long-term benefits

　　In the past two years, Liaoning has been working hard to solve the problem of data fraud. In the past two years, the provincial party committee and government of Liaoning Province have been emphasizing the problem of solving data and squeezing water. In the process of picking this cancer, the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government endured great pain.

　　However, it hurts at the moment, but it is good in the long run. We have noticed that since 2015, Liaoning ranks last in the core data such as GDP in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country. Although the data for the whole year of 2016 has not yet come out completely, from the first three quarters, I am afraid that Liaoning is still in the last place. The growth rate ranks at the bottom of the country, and may even be negative. Under such circumstances, the local people are still trying to squeeze water and don’t look good for a while. This is a great determination and a lot of pain.

　　But the immediate pain is to correct the party style and political style. The immediate pain is not only to restore the economic data to reality, but more importantly, to restore the political ecology of this place to normal.

　　Curbing fraud depends on determination and more on effective mechanism

　　Liaoning has made a great determination to squeeze water, and it will be maintained for a long time. It depends not only on determination, but also on many effective mechanisms to pick up the cancer of this data fraud, squeeze out the water in the data, and correct the party style and political style. For example, economic data should be multi-path statistics; There should be not only horizontal teams, but also vertical management teams for statistical teams; It depends not only on the calculated figures on the books, but also on some scientific methods, including data that can be tracked in real time by the Internet system, more accurate data that is not easy to be faked, such as electricity consumption and freight volume, and it is necessary to formulate a stricter mechanism, so that those fake figures can’t go on in the mechanism system. Once any fake figure appears, it can be quickly discovered and can be seriously held accountable in front of an effective mechanism. Therefore, With sufficient determination, effective mechanism and long-term and overall efforts to correct the party style and political style, these "cancers" can be truly removed and the "flickering wind" that once existed in this land can be truly eradicated.
