Excerpt from "Human Feelings: The Reproduction of Face and Power".
China's land policy has been so popular, judging from the way the policy has been introduced, because there are too many areas that need to be governed, adjusted and improved in China, and the laws are not sound.
Therefore, not only are there temporary needs for policies to supplement the law, but also a multitude of policies are needed to address many of the immediate priorities.
However, in the process of making decisions, the top-level decision-makers in various fields will feel that China's middle-level and grass-roots society is too complex, and it is fearful that it will be counterproductive to over-detail the policies.
However, this is only an opportunity for the formation of local policy, and it is not the fundamental existence of this phenomenon.
From the perspective of macro-level social control, the fundamental reason for the prevalence of local policy lies in the current pattern of Chinese living in a pattern of small at both ends and large in the middle, that is, the state, ** and individuals are small, and the local or grassroots organizations are large.
In other words, the Chinese basically depend on their unit or region for their livelihood, rather than on the state and themselves for their livelihood.
The laws, regulations, decrees, guidelines, and instructions formulated by the state, even if they are specific regulations, have a feeling of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" to the Chinese people.
People can learn about them through the mass media, but they can't act on them except to show that they care about national affairs or policies.
What's more, the Chinese believe more that "county officials are not as good as county officials" and believe that if they do not have a grassroots organizational unit, it means that they have nothing.
Therefore, the most important thing for the modern life of a Chinese is how he is treated in the region or workplace on which he depends for life.
For those living in such a social pattern, the role of local policy cannot be overemphasized.
