【禁聞】第二大軍費國與跛腳軍隊

【新唐人2011年4月14日訊】瑞典斯德哥爾摩國際和平研究院,最新公布了國際軍費報告,中國2010年軍費開支近1200億美元,仍是世界第二大軍費國家。時事評論員文昭表示,軍事是中共專制工具的一部分,增加軍費可以延續他的統治。但是,有評論分析,中國軍人素質嚴重滑落,是個「跛腳」軍隊。

中共官方表示,2011年中國的國防費預算大約為6011億元人民幣,比2010年還增長了約12.7%。這也使得中國周邊的國家倍感壓力,擔心中共破壞區域平衡。

文昭(時事評論員):「共產黨它不是一個民主政權,對內實施對本國人民的專政,對外也經常表現…過去是表現輸出革命!獨裁政權通常表現的會比較好鬥!而且它有很多黑箱作業,不透明。外界就對它感到疑慮重重!它有可能改變像南海周邊地區,還有台灣海峽兩岸以往軍事平衡的關係。」

文昭還表示,共產黨現在講「大國崛起」,它也希望自己成為一個軍事大國,因此它還搞國防上的面子工程---航空母艦。而,軍隊是中共專制工具的一部分,共產黨本身需要收買地方,這樣它槍桿子才能穩得住。

文昭(時事評論員):「一般來講,外界認為他的實際軍費開支,是在他公布的國防預算的兩到三倍。為甚麼軍費一直增加,因為軍隊是共產黨體制內的一個『集團』,而且他在政治上是非常重要,是專政最重要的工具,歷代領導人都很難拒絕軍方的要求,他軍費就會一直不斷增長。」

除了增加軍費以外,中共同時對外也表現出文化繁榮,大舉對外搞文化活動,但是,國內真正的民生問題卻放著不管。文昭說,因為那跟延續它的統治,沒有太大關聯。

文昭:「共產黨實際上視許多民生基本需要,迫切需要解決的於不顧,而去大大增加軍費,中國它現在是有核武器,有200多萬軍隊,大部分是陸軍,他沒有被入侵的危險。中國最需要解決的是內部問題。中國需要解決社會公平、農村醫療教育等基本民生的問題。這些是迫切需要公共財政投入的。」

作者劉波在BBC中文網「大家談中國」欄目中,把中國軍隊形容成「跛腳」軍隊。文章說,中國軍隊在人的素質和人的精神狀態方面出現了嚴重滑坡。

作者觀察到,中國社會中的腐敗現象,在軍隊裏也表現的淋漓至盡……。如安排好的工作崗位需要請客送禮,調動工作需要花錢走後門,想得到提拔更是需要大筆花錢打通關節,甚至,軍人從軍不是為了保衛祖國、服務人民,而是為了弄到一張「安置卡」,有了這張「安置卡」,退伍轉業後,政府就得給安排一個就業崗位。

劉波認為,一支只有先進的武器裝備,而沒有高素質和良好精神狀態的軍隊,也絕不會是一支真正有戰力的軍隊。

Poor Quality for USD20 Billion

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute

recently released a report on military spending.

In 2010, China spent nearly USD20 billion,

he country with the 2nd largest military spending.

Commentator Wen Zhao said the military is a tool

for the Chinese Communist Party』s (CCP)

authoritarian rule. More military spending

can lengthen its regime. However,

there are reports on the army』s poor quality.

According to CCP the 2011 national defense budget

is RMB601.1 billion, a 12.7% increase from 2010.

This made China』s neighboring countries worried

about potential regional imbalance caused by China.

Wen: “CCP is not a democratic regime.

It imposes a dictatorship on the Chinese.

Externally, it exported revolutions in the past.

Authoritarian regimes are usually aggressive.

A lot of its secret operations worry the outside world.

It may alter the areas surrounding South China Sea,

and the existing military balance with Taiwan.”

Wen said the CCP claims “rise of a great nation."

It wants to become a great military power.

So, it carries out aircraft carrier defense projects.

As the army is part of CCP』s authoritarian tool,

it needs to bribe local authorities to keep its regime.

Wen: “It is believed that the real military spending

of China is 2 to 3 times higher than its announced

defense budget. Why is its military spending

constantly increasing? The army is “a group”

within the CCP』s system. It is an important tool

in politics and CCP』s dictatorship. Successive

CCP leaders followed military requests,

so military spending continues to grow.”

Besides increasing military spending,

CCP widely engages in overseas cultural activities,

while neglecting domestic people's livelihood.

Wen said that it』s because people』s livelihood is

irrelevant to the CCP』s continuation of regime.

Wen: “CCP disregards people's urgent basic needs,

and drastically increases its military spending.

It has nuclear weapons and over 20 billion troops,

so China is in no danger of being invaded.

China needs to solve its internal problems, such as

social equality, rural healthcare and education.

These urgently need public financial investment.“

Writer Liu Bo from BBC described China』s army as

“a lame army,” as there have been serious declines

in terms of the army』s quality and mental conditions.

The author observed that, as in Chinese society,

the corruption is in full swing in China』s military.

To get a good position, one needs to bribe officials.

The soldiers』 mission is not to protect their land

but to get a 『resettlement card』 from the CCP,

so veteran military personnel can be assigned jobs.

Liu believes an army with only advanced equipment

but no quality or morals will never be combat-worthy.
