From the establishment of the Ministry of Energy to see the trend of reform of major departments

The source said on January 14 that the Chinese government may establish the Ministry of Energy in March and upgrade the State Environmental Protection Agency to a ministerial level, hoping to increase fuel safety at the international crude oil price of $100 a barrel, and aims to improve fuel safety. Reduce pollution emissions.

Yabo analysis: The Chinese government's current energy policy formulation and management are spread over multiple departments, and their respective departments are understaffed, and strive for power and influence. Can the establishment of the Department of Energy really solve these problems? In the 1980s, China had also established the Ministry of Energy. However, due to management issues and power issues, it eventually disappeared. The country's preparation for the establishment of the Ministry of Energy also indicates that there are corresponding countermeasures. It may also be based on the current severe energy problems. The Ministry of Energy may be forced out. However, the Chinese government strictly controls the price ceiling for electricity, oil, and natural gas. If the National Development and Reform Commission still controls this important policy leverage, the newly created Department of Energy may also find it difficult to effectively enhance efficiency and implement some reforms. To solve this problem, it is necessary to solve the problem of authority in various departments. If this major move of China's major system reform is realized, it will mark a huge change in the focus of the Chinese government's work, and it will have a very important reference for other departments. At present, there are too many detailed government agencies, overlapping management objects and management affairs, overlapping organizations, overlapping functions, and difficult coordination. The reform of major departments should be a gradual process. It is wise to select the departments whose cross-sectoral functions are prominent, involve a wide range of public service objects, have a loud voice, and then gradually expand them.
