Since the reform and opening up， a fundamental question is： What are the key determinants for allowing China to enjoy sustained and long-term economic growth； political， economic and social harmony and stability； and to be innovation driven？ Is it to carry out a change in government functional duties by way of market-oriented reforms， moving from an omnipotent government to a maintenance and service oriented government， or to adopt government policies to continue to insist on a capable government？

The essential difference between a limited government and a capable government lies in whether to consider medium to long-term growth or short-term growth， to emphasize reform or not， to rely on systems or policies， and whether to be based on national governance or not.
