The Rule of Law Approach to Government Governance in China

Chinese government governance involves the two dimensions of autonomy and cogovernance.The process of moving from government management to government governance is a synchronous process of moving from government by a legal system to a“rule of law”government.Such governance coincides with the rule of law in terms of fundamental guarantees,governance frameworks,intrinsic values,external forms,goal pursuits and construction paths and lays the foundation for the realization of government governance.The multi-subject structure,multiplicity of rules and regulations,interaction of processes,diversity of modes and complexity of disputes in this form of governance place new demands on the construction of the rule of law.In response to these needs,we should improve the government’s functional orientation and the disposition of its powers by means of statute law;expand the types of administrative bodies and improve the laws on administrative organizations;enrich the sources of law;use consensus rules to improve controlling rules;be guided by interactivity in improving the administrative procedure system;normalize diversified administrative behavior;and establish multiple dispute resolution mechanisms and strengthen right relief.This will highlight the rule of law path taken by government governance.In the course of the integration and interaction of such governance with the rule of law,we will need to coordinate our responses to its latent risks,such as governance pitfalls and the limitations of the rule of law.

DAWN OF A NEW COUNTRYSIDE The government is emphasizing modernization, innovation and mechanization to revitalize the farm sector in the current Five-Year Plan

The "farm question" has long baffled China's planners. Since 1979, when China began the reform and opening up process, the economy has developed rapidly, especially the secondary and tertiary sectors.

Rural areas remain poor and living standards low. Past efforts to change the ...
