The Distinctive Advantages of Local Government-business Relations in China Compared to the West
The basic institutional differences between China and western capitalist countries in production relations and superstructure are reflected in:the dominant position of public ownership,the leadership of the CPC as a long-term ruling party with the attribute of"Three Represents",and the political centralization of the central government together with the granting of local economic autonomy in terms of central local relations.These basic institutional differences make the local government-business relations in China inevitably different from the West.In China the government rather than private enterprises plays a leading and dominant role in the local government-business relations;the motivation for local governments to support private enterprises is to develop local economy and deal with economic competition among local governments,rather than exchange power and money with specific private capital interest groups,so this support will be more equal and more hard-working;the legitimacy boundary of the behavior of government-business relations is defined based on the overall interests of the society rather than the interests of private capital,so the revolving-door between government and business,political lobbying and political contributions which respectively involving "communication"involving people,information,and money are illegal.Both local governments and businesses should recognize the objective inevitability of the above differences and by which guide their respective government-business relations behavior,thereby forming a subjective consciousness to promote the development of government-business relations towards"cordial and clean".In addition,the basic institutional background makes the local government-business relations in China to have an internal development trend towards"cordial and clean".To promote the trend,it is also necessary to strengthen the superior supervision and social supervision of local government-business relations.
