ABSTRACT: The reform of Chinese government institutions is a comprehensive system reform. System theory provides a theoretical perspective for the overall reform of the system engineering of Chinese government institutional reform, and provides an analytical framework for scientific understanding of the new era of socialism reform. In 2018, compared with the first seven institutional reforms, the reform of Chinese government institutions has shifted from unilateral one-way reform to comprehensive and systematic reform. The systematic nature of the eighth institutional reform is embodied in the purpose of institutional reform, the integrity of the reform of the party and government, the hierarchical nature of the main body and functions, and the environmental adaptability of emergency management and normal management. On this basis, System Theory provides ideas for thinking about how to continue to promote the future of institutional reform in China, namely, the direction of differential synergy, overall optimization, and self-organization. Therefore, the use of system theory to promote and analyze the reform of Chinese government institutions not only helps to understand the scientific nature of the new round of institutional reforms in 2018, but also helps to understand the development of government reforms in the future.
