When voting becomes a burden on the Internet appraisal chaos
Expert: It is necessary to strengthen source control for some appraisal projects
In recent years, with the implementation of a series of strict control appraisal policies, various grassroots commendation and appraisal activities have been significantly reduced.
However, the reporter's investigation found that there are still many online appraisal activities, and some places require grassroots civil servants to participate in various forms, and even send notices to vote and like.
Some companies have also repeatedly received notices requesting sponsorship and participating in reluctant rankings, which is miserable.
"The most beautiful" and "best" online selections are endless
There are places to send notices to vote
As long as you see a message like "Hurry up, the people of the county turn up", it means that a certain appraisal activity has begun.
A staff member of the Propaganda Department of a county party committee in a western province reported that in recent years, evaluations such as "the most beautiful" and "best" have emerged one after another.
The staff of the local publicity department told reporters that some local online appraisal activities will issue notices to mobilize public officials, request to download apps, follow official accounts or use mini programs, and vote and like them online every day.
A grassroots cadre in a southwestern province told reporters that a certain prefecture in the province organized the selection of the "most beautiful ethnic village". Villages in many counties and cities across the prefecture participated in the evaluation, and it was clear that online voting accounted for a certain point.
A candidate village in a local county had a low number of online votes in the early stage. The county mobilized to vote and caught up with the number of votes in three days.
The reporter saw in a community party member WeChat group a few days ago that a "featured community selection" activity was swiped in the group every day.
Click on the voting link and it is a small program called "Group Video Voting". The developer is an online technology company with various advertisements on the interface.
The selection started only 3 days ago, with 17,320 votes cast and more than 55,000 visits.
The reporter noticed that many of the various online appraisal activities were planned and operated by market-oriented platforms such as media and apps.
The official account of the Rong Media Center of a county in the southwest region recently posted an article about a tent camp in the county participating in the "2020 China's Top Ten Must Sleep·Mei Su Selection Competition".
The reporter checked and found that the organizer of the selection competition was the organizing committee of a cultural tourism industry boutique accommodation summit forum, a cultural communication company and other market entities.
The reporter noticed that many local government staff forwarded voting links in their circle of friends and WeChat groups to mobilize to vote.
There are also some industry associations that organize appraisal activities on the Internet.
"Every year in the agricultural materials industry, I only know that there are more than 30 competitions and awards about enterprises." Nian Jiexian, a consultant in the agricultural materials industry and general manager of Xinhua Agricultural University (Wuhan) Technology Co., Ltd., said that most of these evaluations are not authoritative, but Because some are organized by associations, some companies still choose to participate.
Evaluation is time-consuming, laborious and expensive
Increase the burden on the grassroots and enterprises
The reporter's investigation found that the proliferation of online appraisals has increased the burden on the grassroots and enterprises, and fostered formalism and false styles.
Many grassroots cadres reported that online voting is time-consuming and laborious. Some appraisals can vote 10 times a day, with intervals ranging from 1 minute to half an hour; sometimes it takes more than 1 hour to "check in" every day.
The reporter found that the WeChat public account of a certain city in Sichuan Province mobilized to participate in the search for new cultural and tourism landmark activities, and each person can vote 10 votes per day per list.
A favorite tourism destination selection activity mobilized by the Tourism Development and Scenic Area Management Committee of a certain city in Shandong, each person can vote for the same unit 5 votes per day.
A grassroots cadre in a county in Yunnan said that in the past two years, there have been online voting activities almost every month, especially before the end of the year.
In September of this year, the cadre was asked to vote for a competition, one vote a day, and it was forwarded in the circle of friends, which was annoying.
In addition to grassroots cadres, some enterprises are also troubled.
Some online platforms, self-media, official accounts, etc. are competing to plan various appraisal activities, mainly for advertising, so they often charge sponsorship fees, promotion fees, and planning fees from companies.
"In the past two years, companies generally need 10,000 to 50,000 yuan to participate in a selection." Nian Jiexian said that a bio-fertilizer industry development forum held in August this year set up an "excellent enterprise" selection link. Apply, pay 20,000 to 50,000 yuan, and you will become an "excellent enterprise"."
According to many business people, many of the selections have now become a "business", lacking supervision and credibility, and some even directly invite companies to present awards.
"Paying money and awarding the brand will serve as a gimmick for the promotion of the scenic spot, and it is also the performance of the leader." Mr. Qiu, a staff member of an AAAA scenic spot in the central part of China, revealed that the scenic spot spends more than 100,000 yuan a year to participate in one or two "cost-effective "Highly rated, for the purpose of image packaging.
Many scenic spots specially prepare a sum for participating in the evaluation in the annual marketing expenses.
Strengthen the source management of appraisal activities
Irregular appraisal and overdraft government credibility
Some grassroots cadres bluntly said that the proliferation of irregular appraisal projects overdrafted the government's credibility and involved the energy of grassroots civil servants, making enterprises overwhelmed and must strengthen governance.
In recent years, from the central to the local governments have repeatedly checked various appraisal and commendation projects, and implemented list management, with obvious results.
Liu Junhai, a professor at the School of Law of Renmin University of China, believes that the previous clean-up and rectification were mainly aimed at the selection, evaluation, and commendation organized by government departments, and there is still a lack of effective supervision of some online evaluation activities that are emerging.
Liu Junhai said that some government departments and leading cadres must change their "face-minded" view of political achievements, and must have research and judgment on the evaluation activities. They cannot look for local and departmental praise from the evaluation at all costs, and they cannot easily send documents to mobilize online voting. ,like.
“Serious and authoritative appraisal activities are more conducive to improving grassroots governance capabilities and the healthy growth of enterprises.” Nian Jiexian said that at this stage it is necessary to strengthen source control of some appraisal projects, strengthen process supervision, and regulate and guide them. Improve the quality of appraisal activities; consider the application of appraisal results as a whole, and give play to the positive incentive effect of appraisal.
