Abstract： A retrospection of the 30year process of the Chinese reform and openingup, even the 60year history in China, can find out the fact that the Chinese government reform has been following such a route that the systematical regulation is always emphasized to seek for the new mode of economic development, since the central government always faces the financial pressure that produces its driving force in reformation. During the early years of the new China, in order to prove the superiority of the new regime, the government chose the administrative system of highcentralized power, and, at the same time, used planned economy to develop heavy industry and chemical industry, thus establishing rapidly the comparatively completed industrial system. Up to the end of the Cultural Revolution, faced with the nearly collapsed national economy, the government chose the administrative system of decentralization. While the target of limited government was determined, the socialist market economy was developed by way of the economic system reformation. And the government was separated from market so successfully that market outburst unpredictable vitality and economy developed rapidly. Although, by virtue of the 20year reform and openingup, the financial pressure of the central government was relieved, the rapid economic development didn' t make everything all right. Since economy, especially social development, demands on a new, higher level for the government, the establishment of a limited but efficient government becomes the new target of the government reform. Accordingly, the mode of economy growth changes from lowquality to both overall consideration and scientific development, that is, from "both fast and good" to "both good and fast". The fundamental goal of this new round of reform is to construct a harmonious society. In order to achieve that goal, not only do the function and institution of the central government require regulating but also the assessment system for political achievement is necessary to be perfected, thus ensuring that limited resources can be applied to the public requirement of the people, and to the health progress of national economy.
