From practice, he also said that the biggest problem in the two-level local government model today is the unsynchronized telecommunications infrastructure and insufficient terminal equipment in many commune-level localities; thereby, it is recommended that there should be a mechanism to prioritize immediate support for communes with special difficulties first, then gradually expand to other areas, ensuring that the entire system is connected and operates smoothly. The provincial level should study and innovate the direction method and working relationship with the grassroots level to suit practical requirements and the new local government model.
