About this title

Synopsis

China is undergoing profound demographic, societal and cultural changes, and these changes are having a considerable impact on the provision of public services and on the complex relationship between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government. This book introduces the framework of the Chinese government, explains the constitution and the operation of the National People’s Congress (NPC), the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the central people’s government and local governments.

Emphasis is placed on analyzing the reforms in China’s public service sector, the important changes that are taking place and the impact of current government policies on free education, employment, medical care, social welfare and relief work.

The authors focus on introducing the basic framework and operation process of the Chinese government, the reform and development of public service in China, and recent reform initiatives. They explain how the government management system operates based on its people-oriented principles, how it is reforming and adopting innovative measures to provide public service, how it is gradually delivering the basic rights of Chinese citizens, and how it aims to achieve the ultimate goal of social justice.

This book also underscores the inner logic of China’s public service system reform, in which the government used to take care of everything, but now is striving to manage the different needs of diversified participants.
