Abstract：How to handle the relationship between the government and the market has always been the core issue in China's economic restructuring. In the current process of building a high-level socialist market economic system, there are still many problems and challenges in the interaction between the government and the market, including market mechanism failures triggered by multiple factors and systemic obstacles in government regulation. With the dual functions of protecting rights and controlling power, the rule of law can shape the institutional framework and governance mechanism required for the development of the socialist market economy, and thus should serve as the regulator of the “two-way drive” between the government and the market. On the one hand, it is necessary to further elevate the market's position, drive the government to formulate and better implement legal systems, realize the effective integration and driving role of market demand in government behavior, and promote the shaping of a “proactive government”. On the other hand, the government should strengthen the rule of law's role in regulating and guaranteeing economic development in four aspects: political guidance, institutional support, service innovation, and systemic impetus, so as to facilitate the organic integration of an “effective market” and a “proactive government”. Through these efforts, we can achieve a higher-level and higher-quality government-market interaction in the process of building a high-level market economic system, give full play to the dual advantages of China's socialist system and the market economy, accelerate the formation of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and provide strong impetus and institutional guarantees for the Chinese path to modernization.
