"Gas prices in Los Angeles are two yuan cheaper than in China. I just thought, what's going on with PetroChina and Sinopec? Can I be the CEO for half a year? If it doesn't work out, I'll give it back to you?"
The government work report uses simpler language
Yesterday, the CPPCC held group discussions on the government work report, and Xiao Cui was the second to speak. He noticed that this year's government work report had changed again. In his view, the language was simpler. "I counted on site, and the applause seemed less frequent and less enthusiastic than in previous years. Some might say it's because people are dissatisfied. But I think it's precisely because of this plain language, addressing real issues, that people really listened and ignored the superficial form." Xiao Cui believes the government work report should not be judged by the number or intensity of applause, but mainly by its substantive content.
He gave an example: on page 9, when discussing some issues that the public feels strongly about but have not been fundamentally resolved, it mentioned many things: insufficient total amount and uneven distribution of quality education and medical resources, increased pressure from rising prices, excessive housing price increases in some cities, increased social conflicts caused by illegal land acquisition and demolition, prominent food safety issues, and serious corruption in some areas. But if he were allowed to rank these, he would put illegal land acquisition and demolition first.
Limiting monopoly industry income is "not a fundamental solution"
The Premier proposed in the report to deepen the reform of the monopoly income distribution system. After the meeting, a reporter asked Xiao Cui for his opinion. Xiao Cui retorted, "Why don't we just eliminate monopoly industries? We should think about which industries deserve monopoly and which do not." He believes that except for industries related to national defense and security, other industries can be fully resolved by the market, and limiting income only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
Speaking of monopoly industries, Xiao Cui spoke at length and gave reporters an example: "I just went to Los Angeles and found that gas prices there are two yuan cheaper than in China. I thought, what's going on with PetroChina and Sinopec? How are you playing this game? You even ended up losing money. Can I be the CEO for half a year? If it doesn't work out, I'll give it back to you!" Xiao Cui's sharp joke drew a knowing laugh from the reporters.
Then, Xiao Cui moved from gas prices to telecom charges. "What's going on with our phone bills? Which charges are justified and which are not?" Xiao Cui gave another example: "In Los Angeles, the mobile phone charge is $9.9, unlimited calls for a year, can you believe it?" Xiao Cui said, "Actually, I'm quite tolerant. If you have a reasonable explanation to let us know why making calls in China has to be so expensive, we'll accept it."
Personal income tax should not be "one-size-fits-all"
After joking about monopoly industries, a reporter asked about the personal income tax threshold. Xiao Cui believes it is unreasonable for the law to collect taxes in a "one-size-fits-all" manner. It should vary by city and industry. He used himself as an example: "For example, Cui Yongyuan earns 30,000 yuan a month, taxing him might be appropriate. But a coal miner earning 8,000 yuan should not be taxed. That person is risking his life."
Xiao Cui lamented that coal miners have their "heads tied to their waistbands," saying his own earnings cannot be compared to theirs. He also joked about himself: "They might not come out once they go in, but I will definitely come out once I enter the studio."
