| In recent years, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other Chinese developed provinces have put forward the goal of realizing rule of law in advance. This phenomenon leads to debates among Chinese scholars on the feasibility of regional realization of rule of law in the local in advance under Chinese current unitary system, the relationship between the local governments’ practices and the unity of legal system, and the regions where the rule of law can be realized in advance. These questions are very important because they relate to the legitimacy of local governments’ practices, and are actually concerned with the fundamental path of China to become a rule of law country.Under the driving forces of local governments, legal scholars and civil society, local practices of local legislation, administration and judicial reform basically follow a model path of “Response in System”, in which the government responds to the needs and advices of legal scholars and common people through official channels, and the higher level government responds to the lower government’s practices by evaluating their effectiveness. However, this model is not perfect because the main body, content and form of the construction of rule of law in the local may deviate from the idea of rule of law. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the legal limits of this proposition objectively and reshape its responding path, which is the key to coordinate the rule of law between the local and the national, and ensure the local construction of rule of law to be in accordance with the basic idea of rule of law. |
