A Study On The Scale And Means Of Military Financial Mobilization Of China

All countries in the world have reached common understanding that military mobilization is a strategic thing and exerts an influence on the process and results of wars. Military mobilization is composed of manpower mobilization, material mobilization and financial resources mobilization. Financial mobilization is important because that military mobilization usually starts from it and manpower mobilization and material mobilization are realized by financial mobilization under the condition of market economy. The high-tech local wars happening in the future are noted for their happening unexpected and expending greatly, which makes military financial mobilization more important and makes greater demands on the preparations for military financial mobilization. The high-tech local wars not only demand our country to make institution preparations and organization preparations for military financial mobilization, but also demand us to know the financial scale needing to be mobilized in wartime by using the methods of quantitative analysis on the basis of analyzing the situation at home and abroad. So we can decide on the means of military financial mobilization if we know the financial scale needing to be mobilized.The paper gave a definition of military financial mobilization firstly in view of the situation that internal scholars studying military theory haven't agreed on the definition of it, then studied the relation between military financial mobilization and mobilizations for manpower and material resources, explained the function of it, narrated its emerging and developing process, and analyzed the difficulties to mobilize financial resources in China.On the basis of theoretical studies mentioned above, the paper studied the financial scale needing to be mobilized in wartime by building theoretic models. This is the center of the paper. The line of studying in this was: the first, the paper built the forecast model of the potentiality of military financial mobilization according to the definition of mobilization potentiality and forecast the scale of our country's potentiality of it on the basis of analyzing national economic strength; the second, estimated the amount of national defense expenditure in peacetime in the future through making empirical analysis to the numbers of our national defense expenditure over the years; the third, built the theoretical model of demand for military funds on the basis of analyzing the factors of it.One of the aims of military mobilization is to raise money for wars. Through analyzing the means of military financial mobilization, such as collecting taxes, issuing bonds, using foreign exchange reserve, mobilizing people to donate to government and limiting to pay internal saving deposits, the paper considered that issuing bonds at home was fundamental way to mobilize financial resources in wartime, and that using foreign exchange reserve, mobilizing people to37donate to government and increasing the proportion of national defense expenditure in the whole expenditure were important means that our government could select. In addition, the paper thought that there were great negative effects using the ways of adding to tax burden by increasing tax rate and setting new tax category and limiting to pay internal saving deposits to mobilize financial resources in wartime, so government would select them on condition that financial resources mobilized by other ways didn't supply enough financial resources that wars demanded.
