The people are the cornerstone of a nation, and the primary objective of establishing a law-based government is to serve the interests of the people. Among the "four comprehensives", the central task and main focus of governing the country according to law comprehensively is to build a rule of law government in our country, with an emphasis on placing the people at the center of its values and action plans. Simultaneously, there is growing concern within academia regarding issues present in constructing a rule of law government. In the new era, the construction of a rule of law government should adhere to a people-centered approach and implement this principle in practical terms.
From a people-centered perspective, this paper examines existing problems in constructing a rule-of-law government. Firstly, it reviews domestic and international literature to identify gaps in current research and determine this paper's research theme. Secondly, it clarifies relevant concepts such as "people-centered" and "law-based government", exploring their logical starting point and value purpose based on relevant theories. Thirdly, it summarizes achievements in three areas related to constructing a rule-of-law government based on its current status quo. Through case analysis, several problems are identified: imperfect functional systems within governmental agencies requiring further reform; an incomplete administrative system for preventing and resolving social conflicts; as well as insufficient legal capacity necessitating strengthened enforcement teams. This paper points out specific reasons for these problems' existence while also proposing optimization paths addressing deviations from people-centered principles within rule-of-law construction: enhancing governmental institutional functionality; improving conflict resolution systems; accelerating standardization and legalization processes within governance; strengthening legal capacity training; innovating legal personnel training mechanisms. In conclusion, this research aims to help resolve contradictions between public needs for constructing a rule-of-law government versus unbalanced or inadequate progress in doing so.
