"helping the rich but not helping the poor" means accurate poverty alleviation.

On the one hand, the rich who obviously should not be supported are identified as the object of poverty alleviation; on the other hand, a large amount of poverty alleviation funds are allowed to lie on the account and refuse to support those who are really poor. Behind the seemingly chaotic logic of poverty alleviation in Mashan County is actually entanglement of interests, disregard of laws and regulations, and lazy political thinking.

A few days ago, the Audit Office issued a notice showing that the precise poverty alleviation work in Mashan County and other areas of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region is not in place, and poverty alleviation funds have not been allocated in time or identified in violation of regulations. Among the poverty alleviation targets identified in the county, 3119 people do not meet the standards for poverty alleviation, of which 343 are financial support personnel. 2454 people bought 2645 cars, 43 people bought commercial housing or self-built housing in the county seat, and 439 people were individual industrial and commercial households or operating companies. In addition to fraudulent poverty alleviation targets, the county also identified 2272 people whose per capita net income did not meet the national poverty alleviation standards as poverty alleviation, accounting for 9 per cent of the poverty alleviation task.

In addition, by the end of July, the county's special account balance of poverty alleviation funds was 92.3414 million yuan, accounting for 43.73% of the county's public revenue in 2014, of which 70.5614 million yuan was carried over in 2014 and previous years, which limited the progress of several poverty alleviation projects.

The abuse of poverty alleviation funds, "helping the rich but not helping the poor" and falsely reporting the situation of getting rid of poverty are not only the problem of the efficiency of the use of financial aid-the-poor funds, but also infringe upon the interests of the local people and deprive them of the opportunity to get rid of the cycle of poverty. Poverty alleviation funds are the money to support the poor people, the life-saving money for the most difficult people, and also the "seed money" for them to move towards a better life. Mashan in Guangxi uses poverty alleviation funds to help more than 3,000 "rich", which in a sense means that as many poor people may lose the opportunity to be given relief.

On the one hand, the rich who obviously should not be supported are identified as the object of poverty alleviation; on the other hand, a large amount of poverty alleviation funds are allowed to lie on the account and refuse to support those who are really poor. Then, in order to look good in their political achievements, 2272 people who were really poor were falsely reported to be lifted out of poverty. It is understandable to say that the failure to accurately identify poverty is a matter of capacity. However, deliberate fraud is obviously a matter of attitude and must not be accepted. Behind the seemingly chaotic logic of poverty alleviation in Mashan County is actually entanglement of interests, disregard of laws and regulations, and lazy political thinking.

Whether for the county and township governments, or for individual farmers, the "hat" of poverty means financial funds and development opportunities. This is a great interest motivation for people who have lived in economically backward areas for a long time. In the process of identifying poverty at the grass-roots level, there is an operating space to impersonate or scramble for the "hat" of poverty. When some people are fighting for the "hat" of poverty, they use illegal and illegal means to squeeze out the development opportunities of truly poor farmers. For those who are selfish and have no sense of justice, "mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are." the cost of breaking the law is also very low, and there is a lack of corresponding supervision and review, so no matter how big or small the benefits are. There is nothing wrong with pursuing interests, but we should not squeeze out the development opportunities of poor farmers.

Poverty alleviation and development is a systematic project, with accurate targets, projects, funds, measures, personnel and poverty alleviation. In the whole process of accurate poverty alleviation, the identification of poverty alleviation objects is the first step of all poverty alleviation projects, which is very important for the realization of accurate poverty alleviation-if the deviation in the process of measures, funds, projects and so on is a discount to accurate poverty alleviation, then the deviation in object identification directly shakes the foundation of poverty alleviation and development.

Because of the complexity of income statistics and the heavy workload of household survey, it is impossible to identify accurately, but as long as we strictly follow the operational process of identifying the poor, at least it will not be too bad. On the other hand, Mashan County includes people who have cars, can buy houses in the county seat, and financial support personnel into the support object, and the identification process of the poverty alleviation object is also ridiculous.

In addition to the "double fraud" in poverty alleviation achievements and objects, it is also worth paying attention to the work incentives of poverty alleviation departments in Mashan County. The relevant departments would rather spend a large amount of poverty alleviation funds on the account than use the money to support the poor who are really in need of support. The crux of the problem is that local governments have not really fulfilled their duties, not only failed to implement a strong screening and regulatory mechanism, but even regarded poverty alleviation as a "superfluous thing". Such a precise phenomenon of "not helping the poor" is not only a kind of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty, but also suspected of idleness. Although some places are no longer assessed by GDP, poverty alleviation is only minor in the dominant performance view of most poor counties. If more than 70 million poor people want to get rid of poverty in six years, how to improve the enthusiasm of poverty alleviation workers in poverty-stricken areas also needs to be fully considered.

After the audit was exposed, the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council responded that "as long as it infringes upon the interests of the common people, it will never let go" and organized an investigation team to Mashan County to conduct an investigation. In fact, before the announcement of the audit results, Lu Jian, director of the poverty alleviation office of the county, was investigated for suspected of accepting bribes and causing losses to the country. Since the beginning of this year, 12 relevant responsible persons in Mashan County have been held responsible for accurate poverty alleviation.

The investigation into the poverty alleviation incident in Mashan is still under way. In addition to investigating those responsible, the rich who pretend to be poor households to defraud state financial aid-the-poor funds cannot be tolerated. The economic and moral costs of pretending to be poor households can be increased by means of condemnation by public opinion, recording of personal credit records, and legislative punishment in the future Poverty Alleviation Law. On the other hand, we should continue to strengthen the technical form of accurate poverty identification, develop more poverty alleviation projects that are suitable for poor farmers, innovate the management model of poverty alleviation projects, and introduce more poor farmers and social forces to participate in poverty alleviation projects. to form a co-management mechanism for poverty alleviation funds and projects.
