China’s Ministry of Finance offered a slew of numbers on Wednesday describing how the country plans to spend its money this year. The 2014 budget will reach an eye-popping 15.3 trillion yuan, or about $2.45 trillion – maybe not as exciting as President Obama’s $3.9 trillion proposed budget, but not exactly chump change either. Where is it all going? You can spend the day poring through the numbers, as China Real Time did. Or the crack WSJ Art Department can put them in a format that makes sense to normal eyes. (It pays to have connections.) A quick glance tells you a few important things about China’s budget priorities: The military, already a beneficiary of Beijing’s largesse, will get even more love this year. Social spending isn’t far behind, in a nod to the rising expectations of China’s increasingly wealthy and educated population. Affordable housing and the environment – two stated priorities of the Chinese government – saw spending fall last year. Beijing appears to want to change that. One big caveat to these numbers: China has changed the way it presents its spending on public security, one of the country’s biggest priorities amid rising public frustration over everything from pollution to the wealth gap to ethnic tension. In past years the number was even higher than defense spending. It isn’t clear exactly how the figure has changed. |
本周三（3月5日），中國財(cái)政部提供了一系列的數(shù)字描述今年全國的財(cái)政預(yù)算計(jì)劃。2014年預(yù)算將達(dá)到讓人瞠目結(jié)舌的15.3萬億人民幣，約2.45萬億美元——這也許不像奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的3.9萬億美元那么令人咋舌，但也不能不容小覷。 這筆預(yù)算將會(huì)被用在哪里？你可以花一天時(shí)間，一項(xiàng)一項(xiàng)地看這些數(shù)字，正如《中國時(shí)事報(bào)》做的一樣。你也可以試一試華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)美術(shù)部把它們變成的，一般人都能看懂的圖表。 稍微瀏覽就能讓你知道幾個(gè)有關(guān)中國的預(yù)算的重要事項(xiàng)： 軍備，之前就已得到中國政府的大力支持，而今年將會(huì)得到更多的預(yù)算經(jīng)費(fèi)。 社會(huì)支出并沒有落后于軍備支出太多，這是對(duì)中國不斷上升的生活水平和提高的人口素質(zhì)的肯定。 對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房房和環(huán)境保護(hù)的支出——中國政府聲明的兩個(gè)當(dāng)務(wù)之急——去年已經(jīng)下降。北京似乎想要改變這點(diǎn)。 對(duì)這些數(shù)字的一個(gè)大警告：中國已經(jīng)改變了它對(duì)公共安全的開支的方式。公共安全，與其它中國民眾愈加不滿的事情，從污染，到貧富差距和民族關(guān)系緊張，都是中國政府工作的重點(diǎn)。在過去這些年中，這一數(shù)字甚至高于國防支出。至今仍未清楚這項(xiàng)數(shù)字是怎么變化的。 （譯者 lunaliuliu945 編輯 丹妮） |
