China's rapid economic development has not translated automatically
into political development, with many of its institutions still in
need of major reform. In the post-Mao era, despite the
decentralization of local government with significant
administrative and fiscal authority, China's government and
policy-making processes have retained much of the inefficiency and
corruption characteristic of the earlier period. This book analyzes
the implementation of government and policy-making reform in China,
focusing in particular on the reform programmes instituted since
the early 1990s. It considers all the important areas of reform,
including the enhancement of policy-making capacity, reform of
taxation and fund transfer policies, tightening of financial
control, civil service reform and market deregulation. Bill K.P
Chou assesses the course of policy reform in each of these areas,
considers how successful reforms have been, and outlines what
remains to be done. In particular, he explores the impact on the
reform process of China's entry into the WTO in 2001, demonstrating
that the process of reform in China has been one of continuous
conflict between the agenda of political elites in central
government, and the priorities of local leaders, with local agents
often distorting, delaying or ignoring the policies emanating from
the central government.
