â–  Expert opinion

The “Three Publics” of the district and county governments sent a higher newspaper (Reporter Jiang Yanxin) to Beijing’s “Three Public Expenditures”. Yesterday, National People’s Congress representative Ye Qing stated that as the first local government to publicize “Three Public Expenditure”, Beijing’s practice is worth sure.

How much is the "three public funds" reasonable? Ye Qing said that at present, regardless of whether the central government or Beijing, most of them have announced only one total, and they cannot see too many problems. However, from a structural point of view, bus expenditures in the “three public funds” often account for two-thirds of the total, while the other two categories are 1/3, with the exception of those with special jobs.

In fact, from Beijing's data, Beijing's bus expenditure accounted for about 3/4, roughly in line with the national average.

Ye Qing said that the purpose of disclosure is to supervise, but from the current published data, the purpose of supervision cannot be achieved. To this end, in the next step, Beijing should publish the "triple public funds" for each specific department, including the specific amount and the number of personnel so that they can be compared.

At the same time, the district and county governments should make public “three public funds”, including the district government, streets, etc., so that districts and districts can be compared. Ye Qing said that the district and county governments are "big family" of "three public funds," and are expected to be about twice as high as municipal agencies.
