1.During the past Spring Festival,many children may have received red packets from their families.But Xing Pu,a 40-year-old economist,is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.
Xing suggested the government give out 1,000yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success,help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消費)around the country.
Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶貧) and pro-rural (惠農(nóng))policies,including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.
Xing said while making the draft,he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore.Earlier this year,the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救濟)to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income.As for in China,"We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000yuan red packet to the poor,"said Xing.
Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet,many other economists criticized it as unpractical.Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation.But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.
"To better use the increase of money,handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time.It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,"said Qiao Xinsheng,an economic professor.
