In the process of making public policy, there are always many participators, including interests group. The interests group in the process of policy making is the group made up by some people who come together because of the same interests. Interests group is not aiming at regime, and they just want to influence the policy making in order to protect or fulfill their interests. Both in China and in America, interests groups always take part in the process of making policy of their own countries actively. In the respect of participating policy-making, the American interests groups is more mature than Chinese interests groups. This is revealed by the fact that American interests groups have long history, the fact that the number and the sort of American interests groups are many, and the fact that the legitimization about American interests groups is consummate. It is because that the different production materials ownership, that China is not as diversified as America. It is also because that America has industrialized, and China is industrializing. So China's interests groups may learn from its American counterpart. For example, China can make laws about interests groups at suitable time.American interests groups can take part in the process of making policy by these means: lobbying internally, working on selection, lobbying externally and lawsuit. China interests groups can take part in the process of making policy by theses means: the People's congress, the Political Consultative Conference, the administrative departments, the medium and the hearing of witnesses conference. There are some same means, and there are also some different means. This is because of the different political systems and political culture. So in this respect, China should learn from American by its condition, at the same time, it should make some its own ways better.There are all kinds of interaction between American interests groups and policy-makers. American interests groups even make some policies directly. However, the interaction between China's interests groups and policy-maker is rare. In the interaction between interests groups and policy-makers, Chinese interests groups and American interests groups have different status, and their influences on policies are also different. Moreover, although the hearing of witnesses conference is the important interaction way both in China and America, it has a weaker influence in China. So China should make the hearing of witnesses conference system better.
