Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce announced on 22 to expand rural consumption ” Home Appliances The countryside “will take place in Shandong, Henan and Sichuan provinces took the lead pilot. Provinces farmers will be able to buy products for rural markets limit household appliances, but also from the finance department to apply for” home appliances to the countryside “subsidy. (In December 23 “Beijing Times”), this news immediately aroused public outcry. because the sighted see the answer, so-called “home appliances to the countryside” is nothing but government and industry together in one appliance, “product promotion” only. With “home appliances to the countryside,” the name of rural consumer market, stimulating rural consumption, although looks not beyond the scope of the market, but the actual result of government departments involved and the use of fiscal policy, they still plan to bring the administrative and brand, its obvious drawbacks. First of all, a waste of resources. Since the appliance industry, investment, exports, subject to a number of objective factors which have to slow down, then another home appliances specifically tailored for farmers, whether raw materials, or product design and manufacture of the various links on the specific need to spend a lot of manpower and resources and investment. These specially tailored for the rural poor sales of home appliances in the future once, or no longer meet the rural market, inevitably lead to new waste. Followed by “bringing home appliances,” financial subsidy is “well-off subsidy.” Rural affordable TV , Refrigerator And Mobile Families are generally wealthy households, the implementation of financial subsidies to these wealthy households are up in the wrong place. Moreover, the “home appliances to the countryside” subsidies may be the “earmarking,” but I think that the limited financial resources should be used in “blade” on. Farmers now need “subsidy” is precisely such as health care, their children to school and pension insurance, as well as fertilizer, seed and other agricultural products instead of buying appliances. “Three rural issues” really solved, farmers pockets bulging, and the city they would like people to buy equity in the home appliance market. Third, the “ulterior motives.” “Appliances to the countryside” subsidies appear to support and benefit agriculture measures, but the real purpose and motivation is not here. Ministry of Finance Deputy Director Zeng economic construction safety gave away the “secret”?? Home appliances become an important source of trade surplus, the resulting products for the Chinese home appliance frequent trade friction. Implementation of the “home appliances to the countryside”, can transfer export capacity, reduce the trade surplus and trade frictions, but also digest appliance industry excess capacity, reversing the general downward trend of corporate benefit … … It is true that the implementation of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce, “home appliances to the countryside” The intention is to “serve two purposes,” but this “ulterior motives” of the subsidies make farmers feel that they have become a “big dump” of the object. In addition, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, although the identification of an agreement with the successful enterprise, to ensure not to out products to the rural backward. May we all know, home appliances brand, model different from the quality of materials used is different, resulting in significant price differences. “Appliances to the countryside” successful production of “countryside home appliances,” although it may be a qualified product, but they are in rural areas, “custom” of these home appliances how the quality of the materials used? Products, the actual price fair? It is difficult to have a defined standard. So people have reason to suspect that this part of the financial subsidy of 13% will not be repeated, “fleece” the trick? Current government and cultural enterprises to “culture to rural areas,” Gao De spectacular, but it seems that did not last long, because the growing cultural and arts market, the interests of the lever restricted “show” impulses. “Appliances to the countryside,” the pilot can also be seen as another government departments and enterprises, “marriage”, then this fate will happen? People may wish to wait and see.
