Service-oriented government is a new model of modern government governance, which is put forward in view of China's traditional planned economy.
Service-oriented government requires that the functions of the government are limited. The government should return power to the society and the market. The government mainly does things that the market and individuals can't do, don't want to do or can't do well, that is, it mainly provides maintenance public services and social public services. The maintenance of public services mainly includes maintaining market economic order, protecting property rights and civil rights, and defending national security and social security, which is the cornerstone of a service-oriented government. Social public service mainly refers to a sound social welfare system and social security system, including education, medical care, health, environmental protection, public utilities and social security. Social public service is the main embodiment of service-oriented government.
