China is currently in the transition period from a planned economy to a market economy, while the government faces the challenges of joining the WTO. Improving the efficiency of government operations, adjusting government structure and functions, and enhancing the government's ability to regulate and guide the market economy are crucial for building a high-quality market economy and promoting sustainable and stable economic growth in China. Therefore, from both theoretical and practical perspectives, understanding the intrinsic mechanisms and processes of government growth, and determining the appropriate size of the government, are the theoretical and practical foundations for the reform of government public management. This book holds significant guiding and inspirational value for research on the size of the Chinese government.
