In twentieth Century 90 years, especially after the accession to the WTO, between the different regional in China development competition is becoming increasingly fierce. A large number of Local departmentalism which is contrary to the regional economic integration and administrative area economy becomes more and more serious. In the planned economic system to market economic system transition, society urgently expect political system reform, the reform of the administrative system and social system reform breakthrough. Since 2008, with the deeply of "Super Ministries System" as the representative of the government horizontal level reform from the" city governing county "to" province governing county "system reform of local government hierarchical gradually become a social concern focus of China's administrative reform. The "province governing county" as the representative of the reform of local government level system, on the basis of adjusting and optimizing the administrative power relations between different levels of government, rationalize the provincial and city, county and township (town) the division of duties, make the reform of government on lateral and longitudinal aspect coordinate and promote each other, become an important breakthrough and the key point to deepen the reform of the administrative system and have a decisive role on the success or failure of the reform of the administration.Zhejiang province, the first one in China to explore the county system reform, push" expanding power" and EPSC reform for continuously 5 times, gradually expand the social economic management authority of the county government. After that, the "province governing county" fiscal reform is carried out One after another in many provinces in china. On this basis of it, the central government gradually accelerated in the implementation of the reform of province governing county, put forward to "explore the province governing county (city) system in the conditional place."Under the guidance of the central files the localities have carried out the exploration and practice of "province governing county" system reform according to their actual situation, made a lot of fresh experience with distinct characteristics, produce the successful paradigm of "province governing county" system reform such as the Zhejiang Mode, Hainan Mode, Hubei Mode,and so on. Of course, in the process of province governing county system reform, the localities also encountered a lot of problems which affected the sustained reform. Even the "Zhejiang Model" that attracts more and more imitation in central and western provinces also encountered unprecedented challenges in its native.
