建国以来我们进行过多次政府机构改革，但始终未能跳出精简──膨胀──再精简──再膨胀的怪圈，造成此现象的原因是多方面的，而缺乏法制化的强制性约束正是其中的一个重要原因。所以，１９９８年开始的机构改革要跳出怪圈，要走出一条新路，就必须使政府机构改革建立在法治的基础上。 Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we have carried out many reforms in government agencies but failed to make leaps and bounds - expansion - streamlining - the cycle of re-expansion. The reasons for this are manifold and the absence of a mandatory restriction of legal system Is one of the important reasons. Therefore, the institutional reforms that started in 1998 should jump out of a vicious circle. If we want to get out of a new path, we must make the reform of government agencies based on the rule of law.
