Abstract:The power and responsibility list system is an important measure for Chinese government to govern the country by law. Due to the basic characteristics of China’s political system and administrative system, the responsibilities of governments at different levels are mainly stipulated by laws and regulations at the national level. Therefore, it is unreasonable that the already published power and responsibility lists of 31 provincial governments show great differences. In view of their differences, this paper, by combining quantitative and empirical analysis, studies differences in the lists from the aspects of content, form and number of items. The study shows that the differences of the power and responsibility lists include not only objective differences caused by different needs of local autonomy, geographical environment, population resources and economic development of each province, but also differences caused by inconsistency of the standards of the power and responsibility lists, nonconformity with the standard norms and human factors. Therefore, the establishment of power and responsibility list system should not only conform to local reality, but also standardize the power and responsibility list through improving the standard system, strengthening supervision and inspection, taking the application of the power and responsibility list to the next level, so as to eliminate unreasonable differences.
