第38篇 政府機構改革
作為中國政治體制改革重要組成部分的政府機構改革已正式拉開帷幕。政府機構改革是深化經濟體制改革、促進經濟和社會發展的迫切需要，是國家領導制度改革的重要內容，也是密切政府同人民群眾聯系的客觀要求。
China’s government restructuring campaign, an important part of political reform in China, has been formally staged. Restructuring government institutions is urgently needed to deepen the economic restructuring and promote economic and social development in China. It constitutes an important aspect of the reform of the state leadership system and a necessity in bringing the government closer to the people.
現有政府機構設置的基本框架，實在計劃經濟體制的條件下逐步形成的。雖然自改革開放以來進行過多次調整和改革，取得一些進展，但由于歷史條件限制和宏觀環境制約，很多問題未能得到根本性的解決，機構設置同社會主義市場經濟發展的矛盾日益突出。這些問題突出表現在以下幾個方面：
The basic framework of current government institutions was formed gradually during the time when the country’s economy was predominantly a planned one. Although China has adjusted and reformed government institutions on many occasions and made some progress in government restructuring since its implementation of reform and opening policies, many problems have not been fundamentally solved due to the restrictions imposed by historical conditions and general environment. Consequently, the incompatibilities of government institutions with the development of a socialist market economy have become increasingly apparent. The following problems are most conspicuous in this regard:
第一， 政府機構重疊龐大，人浮于事的現象嚴重，這不僅滋生官僚主義和文牘主義，主張貪污腐敗和不正之風，也給國家財政造成了沉重的負擔。
First, a bloated size and unwieldy organization of government institutions with overlapping functions and serious overstaffing have given rise to bureaucracy and red tape, bred corruption, promoted unhealthy practices, and created a heavy financial burden on the state.
