China is experiencing fast development of economy andcontinuous improvements of the market economic system.Under this background, county economy is developingrelatively slowly and has become bottleneck of furtherdevelopment of the entire nation’s economy. As a result,the “Governing the County Directly by the Province” reform(“the reform” in abbreviation hereinafter) comes to thevision of government decision makers and scholars and becomea new direction for solving the “Three Agriculture”problem. The reform is important to the development ofeconomy, politics and society of our nation. First, thereform changes the resource allocation of our nation andhence accelerates the development of county economy. Second,the reform promotes balancing of urban and rural developmentand narrowing of the income gap between urban and rural areas.Third, the reform pushes forward the shift of the functionof our government and improves the public services in ournation. Finally, the reform accelerates the construction ofsocialist new countryside process, further solves the“Three Agriculture” problem, and maintains socialstability.Many problems occurred during the reform. In thispaper, we summary previous studies of problems in the reformand finds the crucial reason of the difficulties in thereform. After that, we propose constructive suggestions and operable methods for the reform, which provide new ideas andvision for the reform. We focus our study on solving theproblems in the process of the reform. To gain a deepunderstanding of the difficulties during the reform, weanalyzed the interview audio records of people in differentlevels of governments in Zhejiang, Hainan and Hubei. Basedon the analysis, we find the different reactions fromdifferent levels of governments to the reform and find theroot causes of the difficulties occurred during the reform.We study reveals that the asymmetry of financial power andadministrative power of different levels of government isan important cause of the reform dilemma. Regarding this,the reform should be combined with adjusting andstraightening out the Central-Local Relationship.In this paper, we propose solutions to the reformdifficulties and ideas for straightening out therelationship between central and local governments byrepositioning the function of government: properly dividethe finial power and administrative power between thecentral and local governments. The division of finial andadministrative power should be carried out step by step.First, we must clarify the government function positioning.Second, based on the first step, we need to divide thefinancial and administrative power between central andlocal governments. Third, based on step two, the transferpayment system needs to be improved. Finally, we muststandardize and systemize the division of administrative responsibilities and the financial power and buildlong-acting mechanisms and strengthen supervision.
