China's governance model and system in transition

Background The modernization of China's system and capacity for governance that China has promoted in recent years could be understood as China trying to reform its state governance. Purpose This article investigates the characteristics of the basic structure of China's state governance model since the reform and opening up. Main Argument China's governance model is a dual structure model that can be observed in its organization, decentralization, value and efficiency systems. At the same time, this reform, marked by the reform of Party and state institutions, establishes a party-centered state governance system and structure; that is, the adjustment of the relationship between politics and administration, promotes the construction of the state governance system of party centralism. Conclusion Based on ongoing reform activities, the essence of China's current governance reform is a more comprehensive revision of China's governance model since the reform and opening up.
