This reflects the confrontation with the state governance mode and nongovernmental autonomous mode. But the binary separation does not mean that both binary opposition, especially under the goal of comprehensively promoting the rule of law. There is possible that national law coordinated with local rules in the process of legislation, law enforcement, and judicature and law-abiding. As the view of the level of national governance systems and governance capacity modernization, it should establish a dynamic, diverse and comprehensive perspective to analyze problems. What should be well recognized is the conflict does not mean that the State law fully takes the place of local rules. The local rules play a very important role in evaluation,amend and addenda the state law. The key is how to deal with the conflict and coordination between state law and local rules dialectically, integrating them into the national governance system, comprehensively promoting the rule of law. |
