Local protection is essentially protection of local interests. In the short term, local protection seems to be able to increase the social welfare of a location. But in the long term, it conceals serious damage and directly affects the establishment of an open and competitive socialist market economy. In this paper, an in-depth analysis is made of the immediate and fundamental causes for local protectionism. Then, some specific measures against local protectionism are proposed. They include switching governmental functions to standardize governmental behaviours; making greater efforts to reform the state-owned sector of the economy and to separate the functions of government from those of enterprises; deepening the reform of taxation to straighten out the economic relations between the central and local governments; and standardizing governmental behaviours in market control to strengthen the supervision of them.
