From the reform and opening up policy, the economics in China has been developing rapidly. However, because of the existence of the dual urban and rural economic structure, besides the difference of income level of resident in urban and rural areas, the enjoyment of the goods between the urban and rural area exists great difference, even more severe than the difference of the income difference. So the urban and rural public goods supply balancing is an important duty for our government to promote the building socialism with Chinese characteristics. This passage is from the view of the relationship of public goods supply and urban-rural economic development, taking the Marxism urban-rural combination theory and socialism common wealth as the basis, insisting on the scientific concept of development. Also it will combine the mode change of public goods supply and the factors like industrialization, urbanization and modernization to discuss the system construction and running laws of the urban and rural public goods supply balancing. It will analyze the proper urban and rural public goods supply mode to provide the theory basis with the urban-rural public properties reform system, integration of urban and rural areas supply mode realization and the public properties system with Chinese characteristicsThe appearance of dual urban and rural public properties supply in China has the far-reaching background and history origin. Dual urban and rural public goods supply system was formed because of the heavy industry development after the founding of new china. The special background in the initial times of new china had made us take the first-heavy industry strategy. In the process of the industrialization, our country took various systems such as agricultural products uniform buying and selling, rural people's commune, census registration, education, employment and Social Security, etc. Also we made the urban people have the privilege in the education, employment, social security and wealth allocation areas. The policies of"industry first, then the agriculture","city first, then the countryside","urban people first, then the peasant"led the public properties supply developing differently between the urban-rural. The deepest reason of its appearance is dual urban and rural economics system and dual urban and rural social system. At the same time the two systems also affected and hindered the perfect of the public goods supply system. The government's finance deviation to the city had strained the finance fund in. The lack of fund made the public goods supply not enough in the countryside .the power and responsibility division among the governments was improper. The wealth power and the power did not match. The rural public properties could not be satisfied. The finance payment transfer system was not complete. These made the gap of the wealth power between the urban and rural bigger. And it made the regional government supply ability weaker. Peasants'lack of voting right, the right of being voted, tong right and public goods decision making power all affected the peasants'words language power and the rural public goods effective supply.The different Urban and rural public goods supply system caused a huge difference in China's urban and rural public goods supply. By establishing urban and rural differences in the level of public goods supply Evaluation System, using the evaluation indicators, the release of relevant information, including the questionnaire, with these ways we selected nearly 10 relevant data that was collected through surveys and visiting information from the three regions of Hebei Province (Handan, Baoding, Hengshui).with these data. We analyzed the compulsory education, medical care, employment, social security, infrastructure and other public goods supply level of urban and rural differences. The results show that China's current supply of public goods in the residents basic right to subsistence and development is still a big gap between urban and rural areas, especially in education, health, labor and employment, social security, infrastructure and other areas .To the gap between urban and rural public goods supply problems, this passage uphold the basic viewpoint as follows: (1) balance of supply does not deny the gap between reasonable limits (2) the gap between urban and rural supply of public goods should be produced with its legitimacy (3) urban and rural areas should be retained between the functions difference, the bearing of their public goods difference. It should be related to the urban and rural public goods needs of the main characteristics. Urban-rural gap in the levels of public goods supply has become an important factor in the delay of the process of modernization. It is not only contrary to social justice, but also not conducive to the building of a harmonious socialist society.In the new stage of Building socialism with Chinese characteristics ,the urban and rural public goods supply balance is the special way to realize the coordinated urban and rural, and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas. It has its realistic necessity and feasibility. To achieve a balanced supply of public goods in Urban and rural areas is the new stage of development of relations between the urban and rural areas and it is an inevitable trend. It is in line with the Marxist which reveals the development of the relations between urban and rural areas. To solve the"Three Rural Issues", the most direct and realistic thing is to provide farmers with basic and supplied public goods. The balance of urban and rural supply of public goods is an important breakthrough solution of the"Three Rural Issues"; the balanced urban and rural supply of public goods takes the fair, efficiency and development as the core issues of building a socialist harmonious society. To realize the full realization of a well-off society, the key lies in the supply of public goods in rural areas. That the rural residents can access to adequate and genuine public goods is essential for building a well-off society. Also it is the inevitable choice. The balanced urban and rural public goods supply is the practical requirements to establish a socialist system of public services and it is a major task for our government. After 30 years of China's reform and opening up, the economic benefits have increased significantly and the overall economic strength has also increased substantially. It has laid the material foundation of the balanced supply of public goods in Urban and rural areas. China's industrialization process has entered the middle stage and the industrial development has had a considerable accumulation. Also the industry can finance the agriculture. These factors make the balanced supply of public goods in urban and rural areas possible. The scientific concepts of development and the Government's attention to the"Three Rural Issues"have provided a theoretical guidance and policy environment to the Urban and rural public goods balance.The foreign countries have provided us with the theoretical and practical aspects in narrowing the gap between urban and rural public goods supply of my country, which is from the experiences and practices. And it has brought us many important inspirations. The majority of the world countries'experience shows that in the process of industrialization, losing no time in choosing the means suited to their national conditions for urban and rural public goods supply, to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, to complete the economic and social structural changes is a universal law. We can draw some lessons from the success of some countries. for example, the practical experience in the United States to establish rural public goods supply system; the experience in EU countries to narrow the gap between urban and rural public goods supply; the experience of Japan to coordinate urban and rural experience in the supply of public goods; Korea's"Village"Movement experiences and practices. All the Experience shows that as long as we can take the effective policy measures, the widening gap between urban and rural public goods is completely avoidable. After the systematic inspection and analysis of the states'practice, we can draw the lessons as follows: in the choice of the supply of public goods system we should have a clear idea of the values. The government should vigorously support the rural cooperative organizations to achieve the opening and democratization of decision-making. When the government provides the urban and rural public goods, there should be neither vacancy nor offside. It should improve public services division of labor system between the central and local governments. The stable financial support for agriculture spending growth mechanisms and standardize the financial transfer payment system is the most basic means to achieve a balanced supply of urban and rural public goods. The supply of public goods should be established on the basis of democracy and the legal system .By this urban and rural public goods supply can have a stable legal protection.The balance of Urban and rural public goods neither ask for the public goods supply of urban and rural areas to a unified model, nor transfer the urban resources to the rural areas. We should be in line with local conditions. We should obey the rule of"reunification"and"sub"combination. China's reality of urban and rural public goods supply and the specific national conditions have decided the guiding ideology to achieve a balanced urban and rural public goods supply :Government should be the main body to promote balanced urban and rural public goods supply; taking the high productivity as the basis of balanced supply of public goods in urban and rural areas; taking the justice system as the guarantee; taking the improvement of the farmers'life quality and the realization of the common prosperity for the residents as the purposes. We should insist on the following principles: people-oriented and the needs of farmers as the center; it should be adapted to the socialist market economic system and the level of economic development. It should uphold comprehensive, holistic, coordinated unity; it should follow the prioritize supply. Do our best and do what we are capable; the cost of public goods should be reasonably shared by the government, the society and individuals.The balance of Urban and rural public goods supply is a function of many factors. At this stage it is restrained by many factors such as the level of productive forces, the Government's management concepts and functions of the government efforts. This determines China's balance of public goods supply in urban and rural areas can not be accomplished overnight. We must take the classification means and the step-by-step implementation. We should meet the people's urgent priority and the public goods related to the survival and development of urban and rural residents. Its short-term goal is to achieve equalization of basic public goods supply in urban and rural areas by the year 2020. Its long-term objective is to achieve the integration of urban and rural public goods supply.To achieve the above goal, we must strengthen urban and rural public goods supply system and persist on fairness and efficiency .we should build the system platform for the urban and rural public goods supply. It includes its main pillars: equality of urban and rural compulsory education system; balanced medical and health care resource allocation system in urban and rural areas; urban and rural labor employment system; integrated social security system in urban and rural areas; the corresponding public finances distribution system in urban and rural areas; unified urban and rural household registration management system, development of grass-roots democracy , self-government organizations; protection of the rural residents'equal election right and the law system of public goods supply system .To ensure the effective implementation of the system, we must develop an operation mechanism for the protection of the balanced supply of public goods in urban and rural areas. We must construct the public goods selection mechanism to form a single centre by the government to the government, the private sector, the third sector, communities and other central subject of the new supply model. To construct public goods demand mechanism, to form the farmers to the government"bottom-up"demand for full expression of preference and truly on-demand supply. To construct the public goods benefit-sharing mechanisms to make the fruits of development shared by all members of society. Construct the public goods funding mechanism to form the public finances as the main, multiple share of the financing for public goods model. Construct the public goods supply decision-making mechanism and form the interaction between the government and the farmers'decision-making model. Construct the public goods supply supervision mechanism, so that the supply of public goods can be placed under the supervision of the community, and enhance the transparency in the use of public resources.To realize the urban-rural public properties supply balancing, the government is duty-bound. However, as the main responsibility, the government's leading role in the market mechanism does not exclude the allocation function, but insist the limited supply of public goods market-oriented philosophy. Government's responsibility is to promote the improvement of the quality of public goods and in a reasonable and equitable manner allocated to all citizens. In the supply of public goods, its functions and responsibilities should be"steer"rather than"paddle". It is a"limited government"rather than"all-oriented government".Through"the helm"and the"paddle"separation of the supply of public goods multiple main competition and collaboration between the planning and guidance, we can establish a government-led, community involvement, the main pluralistic, competitive, orderly, and effective monitoring of urban and rural public Goods Supply System, so we can protect the profits of the urban and rural residents to a great extent.
