Chapter 127: The Political System
readx; Gu Weijun said: "I'm an old problem, and the president knows it, so it's not in the way!" ”
"Gu Lao Ke is the pillar of my country's diplomacy, but he must cherish his body, and he can't be tired of being busy with affairs!" Chen Huatian said: "Some time ago, North Korea sent some old ginseng to my father, and I went to ask my father for some, so that Gu Lao could also make up for it!" ”
Gu Weijun shook his head and smiled: "I don't dare to take the president's favor!" ”
In fact, these words are all scene words, Gu Weijun, as China's number one diplomat in the past ten years, has won the trust of Chen Jingyun, and his power can be regarded as the top three people in the Government Council, and there will be a lack of deep mountain ginseng around him, but now everyone is just showing an attitude, to be honest, Gu Weijun still enjoys Chen Huatian's care and praise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the two talked a little bit, Gu Weijun said: "Germany's Chancellor Hauss hasn't arrived so soon, I'll introduce you to a few people first!" ”
Today's occasion, although it is said that it is a welcome ball specially for Prime Minister House, but for many powerful people in Nanjing, this is a good opportunity to connect with each other, and many people do not have the opportunity to meet Gu Weijun or Chen Huatian in normal times.
And today Chen Huatian is here, Gu Weijun also wants to take this opportunity to introduce a few people to Chen Huatian, including a few people in the business community who have good friendships, and there are also a few junior officials that he values more.
Chen Huatian smiled and nodded, and then walked over with Hong Ziping and Gu Weijun, and began the journey of winning people's hearts.
"This is Mr. Xiao Xin, the new president of Tianjin Youbang!" Gu Weijun began to introduce. At this time, a middle-aged man in an expensive suit also faced Chen Huatian and said: "I've seen the vice president, I've always wanted to see the vice president, and today I finally have a chance!" ”
Chen Huatian said with a smile: "The AIA company led by Mr. Xiao is a major pillar of China's national defense, especially your new 105mm tank gun, which has increased the power of our T18 tank by a large margin!" ”
Then another elderly man walked over, and Gu Weijun continued: "This is Mr. Guo Taiqiong, the chairman of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group!" ”
This one after another introduction, the people who can appear on today's occasion and personally introduced by Gu Weijun are the heads of the leading super-large enterprises in China, and most of these leaders are professional managers, not the children of those consortium families who eat and wait for death.
When these people from the business community finished introducing them, five or six people from the civil service system came over, and Gu Weijun introduced them one by one.
"This is Bi Quanxiong, the new director of the tax department of the Ministry of Finance, when he served as the director of the economic development department, he made great contributions, increased Shanghai's tax revenue by 13 percentage points, and put forward a lot of tax reform plans!"
Chen Huatian also has some impressions of this Bi Quanxiong, this person belongs to the outstanding three generations of characters in China's financial system, although he is only in his forties, but a few years ago he put forward a lot of reform plans, during his tenure in the Economic Development Department, because of his outstanding achievements, he was transferred to the Ministry of Finance to serve as the director of the Department of Taxation, which can be regarded as half a foot into the high-level system of the Government Council.
The position of Chinese officials is very professional, even the traditional bureaucrats are mostly skilled and generally limited to the field they are good at, this situation is more common below the middle level, for example, the chief official of a municipal axe, the chairman of the industrial committee of industry and commerce, is rarely said to be transferred to a certain county to be a county magistrate, or when promoted to be a mayor or the like, the vast majority of his promotion opportunities will be in the industrial and commercial system, such as promotion to the provincial department of industry and commerce, finance department and other departments, Cross-industry development is rare. The goal of those young officials among them is to enter the central departments, such as the Department of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and other departments, and becoming the head of these departments is equivalent to directly entering the cabinet.
In fact, when Chen Jingyun selects cabinet members, he pays more attention to the candidates' specialties, and he will definitely not promote an official to the cabinet because of his so-called qualifications, and when considering cabinet members, he considers more about their specialties, otherwise there will be no professional scholars and business executives in the cabinet in recent years.
Today, in 1945, civil servants and politicians were two very different groups. To put it simply, politicians such as those elected mayors by universal suffrage, provincial legislators who control provincial legislation and finance, or members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Congress, plus cabinet members, can be called politicians. In other political agencies, officials who are not elected but are directly appointed by their superiors, such as the provincial tax department and the provincial police department, are civil servants.
China's political system in 1945 was actually quite complex and chaotic, first of all, China practiced a one-party politics, that is, the vast majority of the domestic and provincial assemblies were members of the Chinese Socialist Party, plus a very small number of non-party members. In China, apart from the Chinese Socialist Party, there is no second legal party, and some opposition parties can only operate underground.
But even though it's a one-party system, it doesn't mean that there will be no competition at the time of the election, and that's what is called intra-party competition. China's one-party system only happens when Chen Jingyun is elected president, and when all members vote in favor, as for other bills, especially when they are related to some major issues such as the economy and regional employment, there is still a lot of uproar, and it is not unheard of for lawmakers to fight and throw high-heeled boots on the spot. Why is that? Because although China is a one-party system, but because of many factors such as elections and interests, it has led to the formation of many sub-factions in the Chinese Socialist Party, these factions have no official name, but when voting on major bills, they will go around and run for the interests of themselves and their own constituencies. Then there are the national radicals who resolutely shout that the Chinese nation is above all else and shout that it is forbidden for the Chinese people to intermarry with other races, and then there are regional struggles, such as the parliamentarians in the Yangtze River Delta region have always been the sworn enemies of the parliamentarians in the Pearl River Delta region, and the two sides have been fighting for congressional appropriations and projects for decades.
Therefore, on the surface, China has a one-party system, but in fact there is a party within the party, and there is unity on major issues, but there are many differences on the details. This problem cannot be solved even by Chen Jingyun, because no matter what, Chen Jingyun cannot deny that the China he founded is a democratic-capitalist country, and since there is a parliament and elections, it is impossible to avoid the emergence of political parties. What he's doing now is trying to integrate these people and keep them on the same page on big issues, such as: support yourself, support your son!
As for the other issues, let's fight!
In the past few decades, China has gradually opened up universal suffrage at the county level and at the municipal level, which can be regarded as a preliminary completion of the transformation from party and government to civil affairs, but at the provincial governor level, it still follows the central government's political axe to nominate two to three candidates to the province, and the provincial council will vote for selection, and try to choose candidates who are favorable to the province. In other words, the Cabinet has the power to nominate provincial governors, while the provincial councils have the right to appoint candidates, and if the provincial councils are not satisfied with the candidates, they can veto all of them, and the central government will nominate another candidate. Of course, this has never happened, because if it did, the Bureau of Investigation would have to go to the homes of those provincial legislators the next day, and they would have to arrest you with a casual label of treason and anti-party.
The judicial immunity of parliamentarians is only valid for the police and other political axe law enforcement agencies, but not for the Investigation Bureau! The Investigation Bureau can conduct an investigation against anyone in the country except Chen Jingyun, and can take anyone away in the name of asking for cooperation with the investigation, even if it is the vice president, the president of the State Council, and the vice chairman of the State Military Commission, of course, it is definitely not in the name of arrest, but to cooperate with the investigation. When you are a member of the National Military Council, you will have to ask the Supreme Court to approve the arrest warrant.
But if there is no arrest warrant, it doesn't mean that the Investigation Bureau can't do anything about you, and it is enough for you to take you away in the name of cooperating with the investigation. If that's not enough, the Bureau of Investigation has a specialty that has made it famous throughout the country and makes people talk about it: assassinations in various ways...... Agents of the Bureau of Investigation are not only used against spies of hostile countries, but assassinations are also very useful. In the past many years, a lot of people who have too much influence to be directly arrested have been assassinated by the Investigation Bureau.
In terms of power, the Investigation Bureau has more power than the special prosecutor appointed by the President in the Ministry of Supervision, who can investigate anyone involved in the case, but they only have the power to investigate, not the power to arrest, and after the investigation, the results will be directly transferred to the Ministry of Justice for arrest and trial by the Supreme Court.
In short, China's current political system is quite vague, one party is not like one party, and many parties are not like many parties.
In this political system, it is crucial for officials to gain Chen Jingyun's trust if they want to rise to power, whether they want to step into the top level as a provincial governor or want to enter the cabinet, Chen Jingyun must nod his head.
This right will be extended to Chen Huatian or Chen Jingyun's other sons in the future, so many officials of the younger generation, who ask themselves that they can live for decades, have already begun to stand in line, but not all of them have chosen Chen Huatian.
China's thousands of years of history have proved that no heir can pat his chest and say that he will be able to have the last laugh, and there are many who fall halfway, and people with special interests will not choose Chen Huatian. Chen Huajun is another of Chen Jingyun's sons, but they all have a lot of supporters.
Obviously, Bi Quanxiong in front of him is optimistic about Chen Huatian and tries to develop a good relationship with Chen Huatian, on the one hand, he is actually a junior of Gu Weijun, otherwise he would not have been personally introduced to Chen Huatian by Gu Weijun. 、
And Gu Weijun, like most high-level military and political bosses, is personally loyal to Chen Jingyun, although he is a little dissatisfied with Chen Jingyun's decision to pass on to his son, but he will not object, he chooses to trust Chen Jingyun, and believes that Chen Jingyun's choice is as correct as his previous choice. That's why he will consider Chen Huatian and introduce his juniors to him.
