Objective This research examined the relations between perceived quality of governance and trust in government in China. Methods Using nationally representative data collected in rural China, we compared the varying degrees of trust in different levels of government (central, provincial, county, and town), and the varied effects of perceived quality of governance on trust in different levels of government between general villagers and local officials. Results This study found that although officials showed higher degrees of trust in government, they demonstrated no significant difference from the general villagers on their perceived quality of national governance. Also, the effects of perceived quality of governance on trust in most levels of government have no significant differences between local officials and villagers. Conclusion These findings were discussed in the broader contexts of economic development in China.

China's disaster management system contains no law-based presidential disaster declarations; however, the national leader's instructions (pishi in Chinese) play a similar role to disaster declarations, which increase the intensity of disaster relief. This raises the question of what affects presidential disaster instructions within an authoritarian regime. This research shows that China's disaster politics depend on a crisis threshold system for operation and that the public and social features of disasters are at the core of this system. China's political cycle has no significant impact on disaster politics. A change in the emergency management system has a significant bearing on presidential disaster instructions, reflecting the strong influence of the concept of rule of law and benefiting the sustainable development of the emergency management system. In terms of disaster politics research, unlocking the black box of China's disaster politics and increasing the number of comparative political studies will benefit the development of empirical and theoretical study.

In the dynamic and capricious market environment it is necessary to effectively optimize, analyze, integrate and decompose complex business processes in the process of enterprise's informationalization. Based on the implementation of one of China's 863/CIMS engineering projects, this paper studies business-component modeling method in the process of enterprise's informationalization, and analyses the advantages of component hierarchy structure and component modeling in this process. Besides, the concept of business process component is given, the independency, correlation and hierarchy are discussed, and the basic principle to confirm the business process component is put forward here. Finally, some concrete approaches of business modeling in the process of enterprise's informationalization are showed.
