【新唐人2013年10月15日讯】今年的“诺贝尔奖”已经陆续揭晓，中国科学家再度榜上无名，同时，大陆官方最新发布的统计公报指称，去年中国科研经费的投入，首次突破了万亿元大关。如此一笔巨款，有多少被真正用在了学术研究上？为何科研经费的投入与产出不成正比?一时间，社会各界对大陆科研经费去向的质疑声不绝于耳。
据大陆官方发布的《2012年全国科技经费投入统计公报》显示，2012年中国共投入科研经费高达14298亿元，投入总量居世界第三。
而另一项中国大陆科协的调查数据显示，大陆科研资金用于项目本身仅占40%左右，大量科研经费流失在项目之外。如此推算，一年之中，中国起码有6000亿的科研经费被挥霍一空。
浙江大学商学研究院院长 李志文：“它根本没有甚么像样的规则，钱是很多的，但是没有人真正懂这个钱该怎么花。最后一堆烂帐报掉了上千万，我看到直心痛啊，不可思议的心痛。”
据了解，中国大陆巨额的科研经费，掌握在少数不懂技术的行政主管部门官员手里，造成种种权利寻租的怪象，经费的分配不是基于科研人员学术水平的优劣，而是看关系——有关系的项目，设计不好、造假也能过审批，课题没完成也能过验收﹔没有关系的，课题再好也不容易上，导致优秀的科研团队被排斥在外，二、三流甚至不入流的队伍却牟取了巨大利益。
原首都师范大学教育科学学院副教授李元华：“因为它被个别人或者所谓的学霸来把持，或者不学无术的一些人，他有权利了，他也在把持科研经费分配的时候，那么，他就做了一些暗箱操作，或利益交换，大家真正目标就已经不是把科研经费用在科研上了，而是在关系，到最后怎么应付把这个课题给结了，心思用在这了。”
从2006年至今曝光的科研经费黑幕来看，科研经费主要被“公家挪用”或“个人侵吞”，其中，“公家挪用”多用于发工资补贴、购车、买房、办公家俱、公款吃喝旅游等方面。
如2010年至2012年，交通运输部挪用1亿8千6百万元，用于职工工资补贴﹔2008年到2010年，贵州两所高校挪用1745万元经费，用于经适房建设﹔2011年，中科院城科会挪用26万元，用来购买办公家俱﹔甚至山东教育厅所属的13所大学9亿4千万元的科研经费，花在哪里都说不清楚，直接填报“其他支出”。
山东大学退休教授 孙文广：“我们过去也是这样的，搞一个科学讨论会，0550打着这个名义，那么这个会址呢，就取这些或者到泰安哪、庐山哪、或者到海滨啊，用很少时间开会，多数时间就吃吃喝喝，游山逛水，这种现象是相当不少的。”
科研经费除了被用在科研之外，甚至人员的吃喝拉撒睡、衣食住行，也都可以以科研经费的名义报销。科研经费使用中的浪费黑洞令人怵目惊心。
李志文：“反正脏的很，拿到钱的大概都是没学问的，因为很多海外真的有点学问的，在海外受到不错的教育，激愤之下就出国了，再度出国，‘公关’这个是大家都知道的所谓的机密，谁不要脸谁拿到钱最多。”
专家学者们指出，中国大陆对科研经费的分配不公及肆意挥霍，导致真正科研项目经费紧张，甚至无法进行，也导致很多真正有才华的、有能力的科研人员被彻底埋没，或是随波逐流、心灰意冷。
中国学者认为，并不是中国人没有能力拿“诺贝尔奖”，而是真正的科学家都被腐败的中共体制扼杀了。

China's Research Funding Exposed
This year's Nobel Prize results have been gradually published.
Chinese scientists once again did not make the list.
According to China's latest officially published data,
China ‘s research funding last year exceeded
one trillion yuan (over $160 billion) for the first time.
How much of this large sum of money is
actually spent on academic research?
Why is research funding and output not proportional?
People from all professions are questioning where
research funding actually ends up.
According to China's official report titled “The 2012 National
Science and Technology Funding Statistical Bulletin”
China invested a total of nearly 1.43 trillion yuan ($234 billion)
on research funding in 2012, the third highest in the world.
Another set of survey data from China 's Scientist Association
shows that 40% of research funds are used on projects,
while large amounts of funds are spent elsewhere.
It's estimated at least 600 billion yuan ($982 million)
of research funding is wasted in one year.
Li Zhiwen, dean at Zhejiang University School of Business:
"There are no decent rules.
There is lots of money, but no one really knows
how it should be spent.
Eventually it ends up as tens of millions in bad debt.
Seeing this pains me incredibly."
It is said that China's huge amount of research funding
is controlled by a small number of non-technical officials,
causing all sorts of power-chasing phenomena.
Funding is not being allocated based on the researchers' merits,
but by relationships and networking.
Projects with good networking would pass evaluations,
even with bad design or even counterfeiters.
Projects without connects will not be accepted
no matter how good they are.
This has led to excellent research teams getting excluded,
while mediocre or even unqualified teams get big benefits.
Li Yuanhua, former associate professor at Beijng
Normal University: "It's because the funding is controlled by
certain people such as school tyrants who allocate them
for secret use or in exchange for interests.
Their goal of using research funding is not scientific research,
but rather building relationship and closing down project."
Since 2006, reports on misused research funding have shown
that the funds are mainly misused for "personal purposes”
or by officials for subsidized wages, cars,
houses, office furniture, and tourism, etc.
For example, from 2010 to 2012, the Ministry of Transport
misappropriated 186 million yuan ($30,000) to subsidize wages.
From 2008 to 2010, two universities in Guizhou Province
misappropriated 17.45 million yuan ($2.8 million)
building affordable housing.
In 2011, the Chinese Academy of Sciences
misappropriated 260,000 yuan ($42,000) for office furniture.
13 universities under the Shandong Department of Education
could not explain the whereabouts of 94 million yuan ($15,000)
in research funding reported as "other expenditures."
Sun Wenguang, a retired professor of Shandong University:
"We were also like that.
The location of a scientific forum would usually be
at tourist sites or some beaches.
Not much time was spent in meetings.
People mostly ate good food, drank alcohol
and toured around in name of the forum.”
Research funding was also used to cover
the accommodations expenses of staff members.
The black hole of research funding is shocking.
Li Zhiwen: "Anyway it is very dirty.
Those who get the funding are mostly ignorant.
Many good intellectuals went overseas for better education,
or just left out of frustration.
'Public relations' is a well-known secret.
Whoever is shameless get the most money."
Experts say that China 's unfair allocation and waste of
research funds has lead to a shortfall and even shutdown
of genuine scientific research projects.
Many talented and capable researchers are completely buried,
or follow the tide with no desire to conduct any research.
Chinese scholars say that Chinese people have the ability to
win the Nobel Prize, but true scientists
are being suffocated by the corrupt communist regime.
