ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on understanding the status quo and the contents of administrative control in China from both institutional and operational perspectives, and comes up with suggestions on the direction of its future development by analyzing its existing problems and tendency for change. At the institutional level, external administrative control in China is carried out by the People’s Congress, participating political parties, judicial organs, media and NGOs, while internal administrative control in China is conducted by superior administrative organizations, supervision institutions, auditing organs, and the administrative accountability system adopted since the outbreak of SARS. Existing problems currently lie in the status and professionalism of supervision bodies, the relevant laws, the Information Disclosure System, and the Government Performance Evaluation System, etc. It is undeniable that due to the firm will of the ruling party, the continuous reform on supervision bodies, the demands of the public resulting from economic development and the transformation of the social structure, obvious changes have taken place in the administrative control of China. At the same time, the inborn limitations caused by the political system increasingly stand out (i.e. the change and development in China’s administrative control is a result of the benefactions from the ruling party and leaders rather than their spontaneous choices. Therefore, the future development of administrative supervision in China will only rely on the process of political reform.
