Qi, Ligang：What does it mean that the county government in China cannot pay wages?
齐立刚（Qi, Ligang）
Some county governments in mainland China can＇t pay wages, what should they be? Let＇s analyze it.
For a period of time, in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other provinces in northern mainland China, more than 100 county governments were unable to pay salaries, and civil servants could not receive salaries on time to support their families, causing great dissatisfaction among grass-roots cadres and the masses.
Local authorities have borrowed from the provincial and central governments, hoping to pay back salaries to civil servants as soon as possible to address the pressing needs of the end of the year.
Originally, this phenomenon should not have occurred, because China implements a centralized system, and the salaries of public servants at all levels of government are jointly borne by taxpayers across the country, and the central treasury allocates them uniformly, rather than raising them by themselves by provinces and counties.
As long as the central government does not go bankrupt, there will be no failure to pay wages.
But the crux of the problem lies in the fact that all levels of government in mainland China are overstaffed. In particular, the county-level government itself has a small staff and employs a large number of non-staff personnel. The salaries of these personnel must be raised by the county-level government itself.
The central government can only guarantee the salaries of government officials who are on the staff. The salaries of a large number of non-staff personnel have to be raised by the local government. Now that the economic recession funds are affected, the salaries of a large number of non-staff personnel will naturally not be paid.
This also clearly shows that the CCP is facing a crisis in the system, and the huge and bloated bureaucracy can no longer be maintained. China must undertake political and economic reforms.
