The system of assets declaration, known as the"Sunshine Act", are composed by the scope of declaration staff,time,content,the competent authority and other elements. Its theoretical basis is how to treat the relationship between financial disclosure and officials'property rights, that is, the conflict between the public's right to know and officials'privacy of property. The significance of the system is that through the laws ,it draws a dear dividing line between the powers'personality and his official position. It has clearly stated that a person, holding public posts, is accessible to the limit of the personal interests, and beyond this limit, it is crime.

On the whole, there are two: First, a qualified blind trust property and all income do not have to declare;Secondly, any assets which do not belong to qualified blind trust property and proceeds should be declared as rules.From 1986,China has been made up the regulation of assets declaration, then the relevant policy documents were formulated and promulgated .
