Structurally, China is a unitary centralized state in which all the power institutionally belongs to the central government while local governments at various levels are executive agencies of the central government and should faithfully perform and implement the central government's policies. But in fact, the local governments also are the groups of interest's distribution and have relatively independent interest requirements, resulting in a deviation trend between central and local governments gradually. This paper emphasizes on discussing the current situation and plight of political and economic game between the central and local governments, furthermore the corresponding solutions are proposed.
