【禁聞】「加薪潮」維穩？

【新唐人2011年3月4日訊】兩會前，大陸各地掀起企業最低工資、部隊官兵全面「加薪潮」。有關人士認為，當局此時出臺連串「加薪」措施，是紓解民生積怨還是維穩？請看報導。

在全國「兩會」開幕的同時，各地也掀起了提高企業最低工資的「加薪潮」，長三角、珠三角加薪幅度達到10%到19.7%。廣州的最低工資由1100元加到1300元，是全國企業中最高。江蘇省由960元增加到1140元﹔重慶則由680元增加到870元。北京、上海也宣佈提高最低工資。

深圳獨立學者朱建國表示，「兩會」前出臺連串加薪措施，當局是想加快推出富民措施來紓緩壓力。

分析人士認為，這可能與目前形勢及民眾抗議有關，不過利民紓困的措施應該向社會底層普及，才可能「維穩」。

濟南市民：「我靠拾垃圾呀！快三年了，一直拾垃圾度日。我們就是說全家一分錢固定收入沒有。我們靠撿垃圾，我還要供孩子上大學，那個學校的學費我都是欠著呢？沒辦法。但是，我看人家當官的七、八套房子；十來套房子，開著的是有名的轎車。可是我們沒辦法，老百姓懂得甚麼啊？就要求一個安居樂業，還讓人家把房子給我炸飛了，弄得我兩年多了無家可歸。」

大陸軍方消息人士透露，解放軍也將全面加薪，調薪幅度從5％到40％不等，士官一律加薪4成，軍官則平均加薪1000元。而最高級別的正兵團職將官則由現時的約21000元調整到22000元左右。不同兵種同級別軍官的工資也有不同，陸軍最低，然後是海軍和空軍，二炮的則最高。今後將逐步形成「兩年一加」的薪資制度。

國防大學退休學者辛子陵認為，軍方此時大幅加薪與目前局勢及維穩需要有關。

為免社會動盪各國出臺民生政策，有推特網友進行比較：敘利亞撥款2.5億美元幫助低收入家庭；約旦將投5億美元提高居民生活；科威特將花費40億美元降低物價；摩洛哥承諾將進行深層改革；伊拉克提議通過立法降低高級官員工資。網友表示，目前看來，中共政府的對策是：解放軍全面大幅加薪。

就在中共官方對現役軍人大幅加薪的同時，3月2日，被視為不穩定因素的「軍轉」維權人士和退伍軍人卻收到警告。

西安的軍轉幹部李志強：「下午我們單位找我了，剛剛談完，叫我不要參加轉業幹部的維權行動。」

辛子陵認為，當局會出臺一些解決民生的措施，因為這些事情關係到共產黨能否執政下去的問題，它必須要改善。

Salary Raises to Maintain Stability?

Shortly before CCP』s “two meetings”, across China,

the minimum wage and the army』s pay were increased.

Analysts believe the measure of wage increase

is to appease people or to maintain stability.

There is a recent “wave of wage increase” in China.

Pay increases in Yangtze River and Pearl River

deltas range from 10% to 19.7%.

The minimum wage in Guangzhou increased by 18%,

to 1,300 yuan, the highest in the country.

Minimum wage in Jiangsu increased to 1,140 yuan.

Minimum wage in Chongqing increased to 870 yuan.

Beijing and Shanghai also announced pay raises.

Shenzhen-based scholar Zhu Jianguo said,

the series of pay increase before “the two meetings”

is to increase people』s income to ease the pressure.

Analysts believe, it is related to the current protests.

The relief should reach the bottom of society

to really “maintain stability”.

Citizen in Jinan: I collect garbage for a living!

It has been 3 years. My family has no fixed income.

I need to pay for my kid』s college education.

I still owe the tuition fee. There is no way out.

I see that some officials have 7 or 8 houses.

Some have a dozen houses and luxury cars.

But we are helpless. What do we know?

We just wish to live a peaceful life.

But my house was demolished.

I have been homeless for over two years.

According to Chinese military sources,

the military will have a pay increase from 5% to 40%.

For non-commissioned officers, the increase is 40%.

On average, officers will get 1000 yuan increase.

Different corpses will receive different wage increase.

The army receives the minimum increase;

the Navy and Air Force have larger increases;

Second Artillery Corps receives the largest increase.

There will be an increase every two years in the future.

National Defense University』s retired scholar Xin Ziling

believes that the substantial pay increase at this time

is due to the current situation and the stability needs.

Some Twitter users compared anti-unrest measures.

Syria spent USD 250 million on low-income families.

Jordan will invest 500 million to improve living standards.

Kuwait will spend USD 4 billion to reduce prices.

Morocco has promised in-depth reforms.

Iraq is proposing legislation to reduce officials』 wages.

China』s government responded by increasing

military forces』 pay.

While the troops receive salary increase, on March 2,

the "demobilized" military veterans, who are

considered as factors of instability, received warnings.

Xi'an-based demobilized cadre Li Zhiqiang:

This afternoon, my work unit told me not to

participate in veterans rights protection activities.

Xin Ziling believes, the authorities will introduce

some measures to improve people's livelihood,

for it』s critical to whether the CCP can continue

with its rule.
