Abstract After agricultural tax reform, the development of rural economy, rural self-governance, and the enhancement of rural public services all require theoretical breakthrough in the general administration of townships and villages. However, in practice township governments face numerous problems such as lack of real
management, service disengagement, oversight negligence, etc., causing unbridgeable discrepancy between rural residents'expectations and the image of ineffective governments. Generally speaking, selective governmental intervention poses the single largest obstacle to smooth rural administration. While selective governance was caused by the profit drive as well as fiscal policy limitations, its root cause is ineffective villager participation in decision making and mismanagement of rural administration.
