Study On The Transformation Of Township Government Functions In China

As the government of China’s grassroots, the township government is an organic part of the administrative system of the country as a whole and the link between the government and farmers, which has a very important role in the administrative system in the country as a whole. Township government’s effective function is not only related to the development of economic and social situation in the rural areas, but has a very important role in the economic development and social stability of the country. Socialist new rural development strategy brings new development opportunities to China’s vast rural areas. At the same time, it brings new requirements to China’s township government functions. With the changes of the political and economic environment both home and abroad, the process of the integration of urban and rural development deepens, and various undertakings in reforms in the rural areas continue to development. Especially after the reform of rural taxes and fees, the development of the township government faces more conflicts and contradictions. The traditional system of government functions has been difficult to adapt to the requirements of the political and economic and social development of all aspects of the current social environment, and it has become an important factor to hinder the rural comprehensive social and economic development. In a new environment, we need to transfer the focus of the government’s functions. After the reform of the economic structure of rural areas, China has carried out many reforms to the transform the government’s functions, but ended in a vicious circle streamlined—expansion—and then streamline—expansion again. The township government’s functions have not been changed effectively, and there is a serious phenomenon of absence, dislocation, and offside. On the one hand, there is problems such as the implementation of the policy being not in place, the lack of effective supervision; on the other hand, the township government is directly involved in the micro-management of the market, and plays the role of market players, interferes with the normal development of the market economy, intervention villagers’ self-government, and violations of the legitimate rights and interests of farmers. But township government plays an irreplaceable important role in China’s economic and political environment. It’s not proper to cancel township government directly. Therefore it is particularly important to achieve the smooth transition of the functions of township governments.
