The Dibao which is the most important one among the Chinese social assistance systems was firstly begun by Shanghai government and next expanded to all of the cities and rural areas. The urban Dibao was a policy for resolving the mass unemployment problem after the structural adjustment and the rural Dibao was a policy for controlling the peasant`s discontent with the land accommodation. But they are basically same as a pre-redemptive policy for controlling social unrest. This process can be explained by the relative strong autonomy of local government and the reciprocal relationship between central and local government. Chinese government accepted decentralization as basic strategy for solving local problems after nation building and strengthened it for accelerating the socio-economic reforms after open policy. Central government has controlled local government through the achievement-oriented and merit-based personnel policy, attracted local government`s cooperation by financial support, and used local government`s success of reforms for stabilizing central government`s legitimacy. Local government`s leaders autonomously could be promoted or advanced to the central politics based on their achievements. Because of this special relationship between central and local government, Shanghai city, a local government, could planned and performed the Dibao, and it could be extended to all cities and rural areas without troubles.
