Abstract：Theoretically, public interest is the basis for public power to come into being and operate legally and properly. Public power originates from the actual demand to safeguard and enhance public interest. It is an instrument and guarantee to maintain and enhance public interest. Whereas, public interest is the purpose and fundamental aim of public power. In practice, due to operation paradox of public power, conflict between public interest and private interest, and incomplete transformation of government function, the natural connection between public power and public interest often faces many interference from the system, the mechanism, and technology. Public power fails to function properly as it is often deferred, privatized, and commercialized. This breeds corruption, aggregates social interest imbalance, leads to the loss of political trust and the weakening of CPC’s ruling foundation. As China is vigorously advocating ruling the country by law, legislation should be the choice for public power to serve public interest. Therefore, we have to take safeguard and maximization of public interest as principle, and exercise of public power in accordance with law as baseline to make public power return to its essence—serving public interest, achieving both its purpose value and instrument value.
