Decentralization is the "first move" to comprehensively deepen reform and the "first shot" to transform government functions. The theme of the first executive meeting of the State Council in 20 14 was "Decentralization". Over the past year or so, the State Council has cancelled more than 500 administrative examination and approval items. At the beginning of the establishment of the current government, it promised to cancel and decentralize at least one third of the existing 1700 administrative examination and approval items during its term of office.
This round of decentralization requires the central ministries and commissions and local governments at all levels to establish a power list system to lock in the base of reform and management. The objects of decentralization include not only lower levels of government, but also society and market, and the perspective of reform is more comprehensive. Revise laws and regulations in a timely manner, ensure the convergence between decentralization and relevant laws, regulations and rules, and comprehensively supervise the implementation of policies and measures that have been introduced, so as to make the reform layout more thorough. Not only is the intensity and speed unprecedented, but the gold content of the reform is also getting higher and higher.
Decentralization is to simplify the "invisible shackles" that bind market players and the "tangible hands" that are misplaced on the government, and at the same time release the vitality, development momentum and creativity of the whole society.
Improving the "gold content" of decentralization of administration and ensuring the "hoof disease and steady step" of reform test the ruling wisdom and reform determination of governments at all levels. Many places are implementing two lists: one is the government's own "power list" and the other is the "negative list" of corporate investors. We should pay equal attention to liberalization and management, not only actively liberalize, but also carefully and responsibly manage the affairs of this management, promote more active liberalization with more effective management, and make the transformation of government functions effective.

background
"Transforming government functions" is an urgent need and a major measure to stabilize growth, control inflation, prevent risks and maintain sustained and healthy economic development under the current situation, and it is also an objective requirement for economic and social development to the present stage. The reform of administrative examination and approval system (decentralization) is a breakthrough in transforming government functions, and an important measure to release the reform dividend and build an upgraded version of China's economy.
Since the establishment of the new central government, two the State Council executive meetings have been held, with the focus on decentralization, which highlights the courage of the new government reform. This courage is rooted in a clear understanding of the national conditions and full trust in the people and the market. Simplifying administration and decentralizing power means freeing up hands to grasp major events. At present, stabilizing growth, controlling inflation, preventing risks and maintaining sustained and healthy economic development are the top priorities.
China's economic development is in a critical period of transformation, from export-oriented to domestic demand-oriented, which is related to the interests of people's livelihood. The situation forces us to start with the reform of political system, straighten out the relationship between power operation, and reduce or even eliminate all kinds of primary resistance that affect economic development. "Let go of the power that should be released" means to stimulate the system and its potential, let the reform release more vitality, and let the people enjoy the reform dividend, which is the premise and guarantee for stimulating the development of domestic demand.
Development is the purpose of reform, and reform is the driving force of development. Looking back on the history of reform and opening up for more than 30 years, whenever the economy changes greatly, the government always takes the lead in making its own changes. How to deal with the relationship between development and reform, so that the two can coordinate and promote each other, has become a common problem.
The curtain of a new round of transformation of government functions has been opened. Premier Li Keqiang used "simple administration and decentralization" to guide the broad masses of leading cadres to unify their thoughts and energy with the Chinese dream, which has accumulated great strength for realizing the "Chinese dream".
