The issue of China's dairy industry's "global minimum" has been buzzing in the first half of the year. How did the relevant departments respond? The answer is, as if you didn't hear it, you didn't see it, you didn't respond. The chairman of the Children's Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the honorary director of Bayi Children's Hospital of the Beijing Military Region General Hospital, Ding Ziyi, stated on Weibo on the 15th: “On July 13, last year, I called for the establishment of infant formula formula standards. The year passed and no one took care of me.” (Nanfang Daily, November 1)

The phrase "Nobody cares for me" reveals the desolateness and helplessness of the experts. After all, the power to formulate dairy standards is in the hands of the department. Experts who are concerned about children's health are no longer in a hurry. They can only hope to obtain sounds. Concern, enter the vision of decision makers, there is hope for innovation. In many cases, the appeal of experts is ashamed and unattended. In the decision-making system, experts can at most only play a role of “information for decision-making”. Many times they cannot actively influence decision-making.

The standards of the dairy industry are related to the health of the people, especially infant formulas used as "food" for infants and children. The scientific nature of the standards is even more important. Why do experts' voices fail to get the attention of relevant departments? One reason that has already been seen by public opinion is that it may be kidnapped by commercial interests. Just as some experts spoke earlier, the reason why China's dairy industry standards are the lowest in the world is that they have been kidnapped by individual big companies and manipulated by special interest groups. The words of the heads of the milk associations were shocking: When the national milk quality standards were adjusted in 2010, local dairy associations and experts were consulted. As a result, 95 percent of the opinions were not adopted, and the standard was even drafted by several large dairy companies. of.

When the public power is kidnapped by commercial interests, this means that some policy makers will only listen to the voices of large companies. In the eyes, only the interests of large companies will not be concerned about the voice from the opposite position. Will listen to the voices of consumers and experts. As a result, as Professor Ding Jinyi said, "A year has passed and no one cares for me." In fact, not only have children's health experts been called for, public opinion has also been called for. However, under the policy of profit-led decision-making, in the direction of the company's interests, the company has shouted and shouted.

One of the more important reasons is that when a voice is of great importance to the public interest, but it cannot bring direct benefits to the relevant government departments and relevant officials, they should not expect that the voice will be heard soon, and soon someone will "You". This is what has always been criticized by public opinion. "Benefit is contention, no interest is promoted, and he is profitable." One thing, as long as it directly links with the immediate interests of relevant officials, it does not need to be said at all, and it is implemented in a resolute manner. For example, when dividing the money, or for the government to open up a way to make money, it has always been rain-fighting, invincible, and enforced overnight. However, once the relationship with the officials is not too large, even if the government and the officials give up some of the benefits, it will be difficult to implement. It can pretend to be installed without hearing, and it can cause delays, such as the protection of housing construction, bus reform, etc. .

A few days ago the "People's Daily" disclosed a message that the public was obsessed with - the public abhorred spam messages, but not everyone could receive it. There is a “red list” within the Guangzhou Telecom branch, which is the name of an official above a certain local level. As long as it is on the red list, it will not be harassed by spam messages – it is the deep understanding of the Chinese business Understanding after the doorway: They know that if you want spam messages not to be regulated, don't irritate leaders. If leaders themselves are often harassed by junk messages, they will certainly treat them. If leaders can be red-listed, there will be no common sense of interest and they will not be severely attacked.

The formulation of formula for infant formula is related to public welfare, but it is not directly related to the interests of many officials. Their children may not have the danger of eating powdered milk, and they themselves do not need to drink the "standard minimum global" formula - more important The problem is that even if the standards are low and there are many problems, they will not be pursued. Coupled with the kidnapping of interests of large companies, they simply turned a blind eye to the call for public opinion.
