环球时报 : 向马其顿捐校车本不该引来多关注，别用这事否定中国对外援助的合法及合理性 中国向马其顿捐赠校车一事，引起网民们的强烈不满。这起外交部参与执行的对外捐助，被公布出来的时机与甘肃幼儿园校车事故撞到了一起。这个本应避免的“巧合”未能得到避免，外交部显然有值得反思之处。 必须指出，中国不能没有各种形式的对外捐助，而且迄今为止没有证据可以证明，中国的外援规模已经超出了合理范围。单就向马其顿捐赠校车一事，如果没有甘肃校车事件做背景，不能被认为是不恰当的。外交工作自有它的节奏和舞台，外交部不是民政部，它需要承担责任的，是为中国发展创造尽可能好的国际战略环境。 中国所有政府部门都应加强针对舆论的敏感，它们必须对每一项工作做认真的舆论预判，对舆论做预判不是耍滑头，它应成政府“好心办好事”工作流程的一项“标配”。政府机构可以仅仅按照“工作需要”来安排做事方式和时间表的时代结束了。 中国舆论近年在发生一系列重要变化，“建设性”不再是舆论监督的唯一出发点。舆论在变得严厉，有时看上去“不讲大局”，对政府的触动经常通过对抗和“全盘否定”来实现。或许很难对这些变化做“好”与“不好”的价值判断，它是政府需要正视并主动针对其做自我调整的现实。 从积极角度理解，这样的舆论监督能够起到以往不可想象的作用，制造各级政府改革工作方式和作风的紧迫感。可以预见，舆论无孔不入的“挑剔”和“找茬”，将彻底改变政府的工作环境，中国的舆论监督将逐渐达到世界级的高标准，不难想象，这种“推力”结构的改变，将会给中国社会带来多么深刻的变化。 很难说舆论的触动都是合理、恰当的，也很难说它们不会对政府的工作形成某种“干扰”。但在一定的监督甚至“干扰”下开展工作，对政府来说这未必就不是正常的。在政府和舆论之间，前者适应后者，而非后者根据前者的期待作调整，很可能是中国未来的大势所趋。 然而，这并非从此政府可以无所作为的信号。恰恰相反，好的政府机构和优秀的官员，就是要在国家和人民的利益，以及公众的理解力之间走好钢丝，实现完美的平衡。 舆论的自我克制也是必须发生的，中国互联网上的舆论在用发达国家的尺子量度中国社会的中心，以及它的边边角角。这样的对照一旦变得不顾一切，它对中国社会的刺激必然是过量的，它的很多鞭策是当下中国不可能实现的。 中国的现实一定会在两个方向上进行淘汰：淘汰改革动作迟缓的官员，和将那些用激进口号制造社会不切实际幻想的“舆论积极分子”边缘化。因为社会既承受不了某些官员的不作为，也承受不了各种“大跃进”的折腾。中国改进的节奏既是人决定的，也不以社会那些激进的意志为转移。 向马其顿捐校车本不该引来这么多关注，这些关注是今天中国一个特殊表情。它告诉了我们中国内部的某种隐痛。别用这一件事否定中国对外援助的合法及合理性。中国国际交往的广度和深度都在扩展，而社会的各种关切却越来越内向。这个变化是不可改变的，但如果公众的关注转向对国家政策制定形成狭隘的强迫，就会制造崛起中国的整体不理智。这并非中国人民的福音。 China 's school bus donation to Macedonia derided BEIJING (AP) - China's donation of school buses to tiny Macedonia has touched off online derision, with Chinese saying the gift seems ill-considered after a crash this month killed 19 preschoolers. A statement on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Macedonia dated on Friday says China has donated an unspecified number of school buses to aid the European nation's economic and social development. More than 500,000 comments had been posted on China's popular Twitter-like micro-blog services on Monday. Many criticise the donation given the poor quality school buses many Chinese children ride in. Over the weekend Premier Wen Jiabao promised more funding to upgrade school buses and improve overall school safety. http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Asia/Story/STIStory_738892.html China 's School Bus Donation to Macedonia Derided http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/chinas-school-bus-donation-macedonia-derided-15037926 By LOUISE WATT Associated Press BEIJING November 28, 2011 (AP) China 's donation of school buses to tiny Macedonia has touched off derision online, where Chinese have called the gift ill-considered given their country's poor safety record and a recent crash that killed 19 preschoolers. The Chinese government's gift of 23 buses was made Friday at a ceremony in Macedonia's capital. The Macedonian government said on its website that each bus has 35 seats, meets all safety requirements and will be used for students primarily in rural areas. An accompanying photo showed three yellow buses with the red-and-yellow Chinese and Macedonian flags painted on the side. News of the donation ignited a torrent of criticism, with 500,000 comments posted by Monday to Sina Weibo, China's most popular Twitter-like micro-blog service, run by Sina Corp. Many asked: How could China make the donation to a foreign country when Chinese schools contend with shoddy transport? Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei would not comment on the online furor but did say the buses were provided under a 2010 agreement. He said China had accepted large amounts of foreign aid — including assistance from Macedonia during a major earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 — and was now providing assistance of its own. Zhang Ming, a politics professor at Renmin University, suggested the donation was a betrayal to the Chinese people. AP FILE - In this Nov. 16, 2011 file photo,...

When one climbs up there and becomes a big official, one will have them," he wrote on Sina Weibo. Zheng Yuanjie, a children's literature writer who is often sarcastic in his postings, wrote that the foreign ministry had donated the buses to Macedonia in order to "urge local governments to give decent buses to schools" in China. As many pointed out, the donation comes less than two weeks after the death of the 19 preschoolers drew a harsh spotlight to the condition of Chinese school buses and chronic underfunding of school systems. The 19 children died when a minivan-turned-school bus crammed with 64 people crashed into a truck in a rural area of northwest China. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao promised Sunday that new rules on school bus safety would be drafted within a month and said central and local governments will bear the cost of bringing buses up to standard. The fracas shows how the authoritarian government gets out of step with popular sentiment, and, while that has not mattered in past decades, the government can come across as looking foolish in the Internet era. While a statement from the Chinese Embassy in Macedonia about the buses was still available online Monday, a similar statement had been removed from the website of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The state-run Global Times newspaper said in a commentary Monday that the rhetoric of public criticism had become stronger and "sometimes even aggressive" in recent years. "Although it is hard to say whether each of these criticisms are reasonable and appropriate, the government needs to learn how to live with it," it said. "Some 'disturbance' from the public is not bad to the government" as it is necessary for quality governance, it said. On Saturday, a school bus carrying 39 people in northeast Liaoning province rolled over, injuring 35 students, including two 7-year-old girls with serious head injuries, the China Daily reported.
