【新唐人2013年10月04日讯】10月1号，全球公众都目睹了美国联邦政府，由于无法就新财年预算案达成一致而“关闭”。但美国并未因此而陷入瘫痪，引发经济和社会危机。目前，美国社会次序井然，民众照常生活。一个国家的政府关了门，国家却毫无乱象，这引起了中国民众的反思。
美国政府在民主党人拒绝通过共和党人的预算案后，从10月1号午夜开始关闭。
在很多中国人眼里，一个国家政府停止运转是不可想像的事情。从日常宣传和教育中，人们得到的印象是，政府关门必将导致社会混乱和动荡。不过，在互联网上，大陆民众对美国政府的关门，在认识和思考上，却呈现出了完全不同的方向。
原云南省教育厅长罗崇敏在微博上写道：因为政府征税、开支、负债都涉及纳税人的直接利益，所以代表选民利益的议员们和总统不该轻易对待这些事，“认真”是他们的责任和义务。
网友携酒与鱼一针见血指出：中国政府债台高筑却不破产，是因为政府可任意搜刮民财，这是中国人的耻辱。美国政府预算通不过关门了，社会照常运转，什么时候中国政府不能任意花钱，政府关门社会运转如常，中国才算正常国家。
北京《国情内参》首席研究员巩胜利认为，美国政府关门正是美国法制健全的体现。
北京《国情内参》首席研究员巩胜利：“美国政府不管花1分钱或两毛钱都要经过一种当然的法律程序，就是一个国家法制的根源体现，中共这个国家，它的钱是怎么出来的，怎么花出去的，怎么样来收取老百姓的血汗钱的，它没有法律的制衡，也没有法律的当然规则。”
中国独立政治评论员思想家丁咚撰文表示，正是由于美国国会掌握了立法权和预算审批权，美国政府才不敢胡作非为，政府官员也不敢作奸犯科，而是千方百计讨好民众，廉洁从政，踏踏实实干事，保证了法律得到较好执行，经费得到合理支出，也就极少有滥权、腐败现象。
纽约城市大学政治学教授夏明：“中国是一个全权社会，党国军全部控制在一起的，中国（共）政府不断地强化老百姓对政府的依赖性，所以一方面如果中国（共）政府关了门，对老百姓其实更好，但是另一方面中共政府长期以来打压公民的自助和自主，限制公民社会的发展，让民间的资源和自治能力都没有得到太多的发育，老百姓形成一种心理上的依赖和事实上的依赖。
那么在中共一手操控下的中国的政府，和美国政府到底有什么区别呢？
夏明：“中国（共）政府觉得它可以帮中国人做梦，它可以帮中国实现梦想，其实最后中共政府变成成事不足，败事有余的政府，而美国政府并不认为它可以帮美国做梦，它让美国人自己去做梦，我来成全你，不来骚扰你，不来破坏你的梦。这一点是根本的区别。”
另外，中国的多级政府和美国的多级政府也不一样。美国的州政府基本上是独立的，民生民政问题基本上由州来管理，治安问题由市级警察局管理，联邦政府只管外交、国防等重大事情。而在中共统治下的中国，省一级的决定要请示中央，省依附于中央，县市则要依附于省级政府。
旅美中国史学教授刘因全：“我相信如果中国（共）政府关闭了以后，24小时之内，像天安门广场、中央电视台、《人民日报》，这些媒体全都被占领了，如果关闭，不超过24小时，共产党就全都垮台了。”
旅美中国史学教授刘因全指出，中国各种社会矛盾目前非常突出，民众对中共的怨气太深，太多，共产党犹如坐在火山口上。尽管中共高压维稳，群体抗暴事件还如火如荼，试问，中共怎么敢关闭政府呢？

U.S. Government Closed without Creating Chaos. How Would it Be in China?
People all over the world witnessed the shutdown of the U.S.
federal government on October 1,
due to lack of agreement on a new fiscal year budget.
But the U.S. did not become “paralyzed,"
nor did it lead to economic or social crises.
The country is in order and people live as usual.
No chaos resulted from the government shut down,
this has given the Chinese people cause for reflection.
With the Democrats refusal to pass the Republicans’ budget,
the U.S. government shut down after midnight of October 1.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, it is unthinkable for
a national government to stop operating.
Today’s propaganda and education in China teach people that
a government shutdown will lead to social chaos and unrest.
However, netizens in China think completely differently
following the U.S. government closure.
Former Yunan Province Education Department leader,
Luo Chongmin, wrote on Weibo, “Government taxes, expenses,
and liabilities all directly involve the interests of taxpayers.
Congressmen on behalf of their constituents’ interests
and the president should not take these things lightly.
‘Earnestness’ is their responsibility and obligation."
Another netizen says, “The only reason why the Chinese
government doesn’t go bankrupt even with high debt
is because it can plunder the people’s wealth at will.
This is the Chinese people’s shame.
Society in the U.S. continues to operate
without the government passing the budget.
Only when the Chinese government stops wasting money and
society can operate normally even under a government closure
can China be considered a normal country."
Beijing Internal Reference chief researcher Gong Shengli
says the shutdown of the U.S. government is
an expression of its healthy legal system.
Gong Shengli: “Each penny the U.S. government spends
needs go through a legal process. It is in their legal system.
The Chinese Communist Party regime has no
legal monitor or process to define
how it gets money, how it spends that money
and how it exploits people’s hard-earned money."
China’s independent political commentator Ding Dong
says in an article he wrote that the U.S. government does not
dare to misbehave because congress has legislative authority
and has the final say on budgets.
Government officials don’t dare to commit crimes.
They do everything possible to please the people,
to be honest and hardworking and ensure
law is well executed and funds are reasonably spent.
There is also very little abuse of power or corruption.
Xia Ming, New York City University political science professor:
“China is a society controlled by an absolute power.
The party, military and political powers are controlled together.
The CCP strengthens people’s dependence to the government.
If there was shutdown of the CCP government,
it should be good to the people.
However, due to the CCP’s long-term suppression of people’s
ability to exercise independence, they have formed
a psychological dependency, and non-government
resources capacity did not get much development.
What are the differences between the CCP government
and the U.S. government?
Xia Ming: “The CCP government thinks it can help
Chinese people to dream and help China to realize their dreams.
In fact, this government only causes troubles.
The U.S. government doesn’t think it can help the U.S. dream.
It allows Americans themselves to dream.
＇I’ll help you, not harass you, and won’t destroy your dream.＇
This is a fundamental difference."
In addition, China’s multi-level government is different from
the U.S. multi-level government.
U.S. state governments are essentially independent.
Issues related to people’s livelihood are basically
managed by the state.
Law and order is managed by the municipal police.
The federal government manages issues related to
diplomatic, defense and other important matters.
Yet in China under the CCP’s rule,
provincial level governments report to the central government,
city and county governments report to provincial government.
U.S. Chinese historian Liu Yinquan:
“I believe if the CCP government shuts down,
then Tiananmen Square and media such as
CCTV and People’s Daily would all get occupied.
Within 24 hours the CCP would collapse."
Liu Yinquan says the conflicts in China are very serious.
People have a deep hatred toward the CCP.
The CCP is sitting at the mouth of a volcano.
Even though it tries to maintain stability via cracking down,
there are more and more mass incidents.
How could the CCP government dare to shut down?
