Abstract:

Credibility is the legitimacy foundation of modern government In recent years, based on the research of western researchers, the research on Chinese government credibility is increasing dramatically However, the existing research ignores the internal differences of government credibility between China and western countries They focus on the interpretation of concept and theory, and ignore accurate analysis and comparative methods Compare to the credibility of western countries, Chinese government credibility has three important characteristics: the public have a high degree of confidence in the central government; there is a huge gap of the credibility between central government and local government; the credibility of the central government is relatively stable, but the credibility of the local government is declining seriously The reasons behind these characteristics are very complex, for they are influenced not only by the traditional political values, but also the change of institution or public policy

Key words: government, credibility, comparative study
