ABSTRACT: The “administrative examination and approval bureau” model is the latest
practical achievement of deepening the reform of the administrative examination
and approval system. It is a beneficial attempt to relatively concentrate the examination
and approval power on the same institution. However, the first mock exam is a
crisis of legitimacy, a confusion of powers and responsibilities, a lack of
accountability and a blocking of information exchange. To promote the reform of
the mode of “administrative examination and approval bureau”, we should realize
the organic combination of “crossing the river by feeling the stone” and “top-level
design”; make the means of administrative examination and approval system reform
serve the purpose of optimizing public services; resolve
the contradiction between horizontal centralized administrative license and
vertical administrative management system; establish
a supervision mechanism combining internal supervision and external
supervision.
