On 28 March, the CAC issued an announcement, "Severely Crack Down on Illegal Acts Illegally Damaging the Image and Reputation of Enterprises and Entrepreneurs on the Internet."
It is worth noting that in response to this ordinary announcement, almost everyone thought of a name: Sima Nan. Sima Nan's fans first thought of Sima Nan, non-Sima Nan's fans, and the first time thought of Sima Nan, isn't this enough to explain the problem?
As soon as the announcement came out, Sima Nan immediately came out to refute the rumors: It's not me, it's not me, it's not me, but I support the private economy.
This is strange, since it is not you Sima Nan who is talking about, you Sima Nan can't wait to jump out and clarify what to do, is it that there is no silver here three hundred taels?
Although Sima Nan has repeatedly denied that he has suppressed the private economy, the Internet has a memory, and what he said before has been completely preserved, although he deleted all the videos that smear private enterprises and private entrepreneurs, but can the videos be deleted, can the readers' memories be deleted? Those of you who have seen the video can remember it clearly!
In 2020, Sima Nan published a video, but unfortunately, this video was deleted by Sima Nan and could not be found, but the content of the video is like this, he said: In 2012, how much tax did private enterprises pay to the national treasury by national enterprises? 13%。 How many state-owned enterprises? 70.3%。 13 and 70.3 put together, who is bigger and who is small?
According to the "2014 China Top 500 Private Enterprises List" by the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the operating income of the top 500 private enterprises is 13 trillion yuan, how much is the tax paid? Tax payments are $474.4 billion.
In contrast, the income of state-owned enterprises is PetroChina alone, and the annual revenue is more than 2 trillion yuan, how much is taxed? The tax payment is more than 400 billion yuan, which is similar to the total tax payment of all the top 500 private enterprises, that is, PetroChina pays taxes alone, which is similar to the total tax payment of the top 500 private enterprises.
I don't know what Sima Nan is intent, the 2020 video, but the data used is 2013, using the 2013 private enterprise tax data, proving that the private enterprises' tax payment ability in 2020 is not good, ridiculous, what is the actual situation?
According to the "2021 China Private Enterprise 500 Emphasis Research Analysis Report" by the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the net profit after tax of the top 500 private enterprises was 1.97 trillion yuan, and the total tax payment reached 1.36 trillion yuan, accounting for 8.84% of the total tax revenue of the country.
In comparison, PetroChina's taxes and fees in 2020 were only 269.761 billion yuan, which is no longer the scene of a tax cap of 500 private enterprises in 2013.
Sima Nan's use of data from around 2013 to explain that "state-owned enterprises, not private enterprises, are the economic pillars of the country" is an act of "subjective" use of data to justify his "objective conclusions", which is unacceptable and makes people even more suspicious of his purpose.
In 2021, Sima Nan released another video, wantonly smearing private entrepreneurs, accusing private entrepreneurs of only profit in their eyes, no sense of social responsibility, private entrepreneurs earned money, all transferred abroad, not used to build the country, do not lead everyone to common prosperity, is a group of selfish capitalists without a sense of social responsibility.
Sima Nan has repeatedly advocated that private enterprises should withdraw from the historical stage, and in his videos, he mentioned countless times that privatization is a countercurrent and that state-owned enterprises should be comprehensively developed and private enterprises should be curbed.
So Sima Nan's smearing of the private economy is already a sure thing, although he deleted all those videos, but can he delete the harm caused to private entrepreneurs?
