A Normative Analysis of"Public Property"as a Criterion for Identifying Supervisory Targets
The use of"public authority"as the sole criterion for identifying supervisory targets is insufficient to address the evolving needs of China's post-reform supervisory system.Public authority institutions,which encompass both personnel and property,require a broader framework for effective supervision.In light of the constitutional mandate that"the state protects socialist public property,"there is a compelling need to incorporate the concept of"property"into the identification of supervisory targets.Under the constitutional framework of"public property,"similar concepts across various sectoral laws reveal two distinct attributes:"objects"and"assets."These attributes correspond to the notion of"state resources"within the context of supervisory law.As such,"public property"should be considered a key criterion alongside"public authority"in the identification of supervisory targets.This dual approach not only aligns with constitutional provisions regarding the protection of public property but also enhances the precision and comprehensiveness of supervisory target identification,thereby facilitating the realization of a fully integrated national supervision system.
