Abstract:

Since the founding of People's Republic of China, the Communist Party of China ( CPC) has constructed a set of national governance structures different from that of China of the West. It has made substantial progress in exploring the application, transformation, and transcendence of the traditional bureaucracy. Since the i8th National Congress of the CPC,and especially in the past five years, the overall leadership of the CPC over the national governance structure is an important fulcrum to promote the modernization of the nation's govemance systemand govemance capability. This has helped achieve a high degree of mutual consistency between the logic of gover-ning the party and the logic of governing the country, thereby surpassing the traditional bureaucratic governancemodel, and fully stimulating the direction of modemn governance energy contained in the Chinese system. The newnational governance structure under the CPC is the organizational support for realizing the dialectical unity of poli-tics and administration in the process of China's modernization of national governance. Through the “political" leadership advantage, it effectively curbs the “dysfunction” of “administration", opening up a new way to elimi-nate the formalism and bureaucracy problems associated with bureaucracy.

Key words: bureaucratic system, Chinese logic, national govemance structure, institutional reform, the comprehensive leadership of the party
