However, there are still some problems in the process of implementation that the effects expected from the policy goals are not very well achievable.The main structure of this article falls into six parts.First part is a basic introduction to the article and focuses on the background of article, research purpose and research significance, present situation at home and abroad, research ideas and the innovation of the article.
