【禁闻】中国环境问题体现威权体制特点

【新唐人2011年4月5日讯】北京的空气质量在2008年奥运会之前和之后，出现了改善和
迅速回落。经济学家表示，这透露出中共威权政治体制的特点。而环保人士所担忧的中
国目前面临的严峻环境问题，也直接涉及到体制问题。

在2008年奥运会期间，北京花了100多亿美元整治空气污染，一度宣称将北京空气质量
提高了30%。但在奥运会结束后一年，约60%的改善成果消失了。

这究竟是什么原因呢？由美国国家经济研究局（National Bureau of
EconomicResearch）发布的一项研究报告认为，这透露出中共威权政治体制的特点。

为了在奥运前改善空气指数，中共官方采取了庞大的措施，如：煤厂、钢铁厂和化工厂
被关闭，机动车被限流，汽车排放标准被提高。《报告》的作者们说，空气质量改善是
一个长期的过程，很大程度上依赖于政府政策和个人自律。而北京的努力更为密集而且
在相对较短的时间内实施，体现出"眼光远不如民主政府长远"的威权政府的特色。同
时，这也正是改善成果消失的如此之快的原因。

不仅在空气污染方面如此，长期致力于中国水资源问题调查研究的著名环保人士马军指
出，中国面临多重环境挑战，环境污染，资源耗竭和生态恶化是其中最严峻的三大问
题。

马军认为，中国目前具备了基本技术条件和资金，解决环境污染问题的关键在于企业和
个人的动力和参与。他和其他一些环保志愿者正尝试通过「非政府组织」（NGO）介入
的方式，监督企业在环保问题上的合作。

但事实上，在中共的现行体制下，中国大部分NGO还处在灰色地带，很难界定什么程度
会触动官方的"雷区"。因此总有一层说不清、道不明的网，罩住了NGO的发展，艰难生
存的草根NGO只能尝试曲线破围，根本无法奢望与政府建构伙伴或者监督关系，而NGO本
应该发挥的社会作用也因此在中国社会受到很大的局限。

NGOs Expect No Support From CCP

Beijing's air quality improved before 2008 Olympics,but after that
deteriorated again. Economists saythat this is characteristic of Chinese
totalitarianism.China's current environmental issuesare directly related to
CCP's social system.

Beijing spent over USD10 billion to treat air pollutionduring the 2008
Olympics and claimedBeijing's air quality had improved by 30%.A year later,
60% of the improvement disappeared.

What is the reason? A report bythe U.S. National Bureau of Economic
Researchsaid that this was characteristic of the CCP's(Chinese Communist
Party's) political system.

To improve the air index, Chinese authorities tookconsiderable measures,
like closing off coal, steeland chemical factories, restricting trafficand
raising emission standards. The report said,that improving air quality is
an ongoing process,but Beijing's efforts focused on short-term patches,a
characteristic of the totalitarian regime..This is why improvements
disappeared so quickly.

Besides air pollution, Ma Jun, a renowned waterconservation activist in
China said that China faces3 major problems: environmental
pollution,resources exhaustion and ecological deterioration.

Ma Jun noted that although Chinahas the basic knowledge and funds to treat
pollution,the key to success lies in encouraging enterprisesand individuals
to participate.He and other volunteers are currentlytrying to monitor
enterprises' participation via NGOs.

Under the current social system of the CCP,NGOs in China exist in a grey
area and may stepon authorities' 'landmines' at any time.An invisible web
limits the development of NGOs,which often have to try and circumvent
authoritiesto achieve goals. NGOs expect no support from CCPin monitoring
businesses for environment protection.The role of NGOs is being severely
restricted.
