Building an accountable government has been a major part of government change in the past 30 years since the reform and opening-up. It is clear that China government has become more responsive. However, there is a contradiction in implementing responsibilities for government. On one hand, the governments’ responsibilities tend to be over economized. On the other hand, the operational mechanism tends to be over politicized. This contradiction has resulted in many negative effects which weaken the government to reform itself. In order to solve it, the government should become more democratized and rationalized and change from a responsive government to an accountable government.
