Abstract: “to pool all resources to accomplish major tasks”, a long-standing political and academic discourse in China’s national governance, has become a realistic basis for describing one of the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. However, the current academic research neglects the internal logic of this governance mechanism, in particular to an in-depth theoretical response to its having become the institutional advantage of China’s national governance. This paper, based on a systematic review of its historical context, further clarifies the three criteria, namely legitimacy, superiority and effectiveness of institutional evaluation. A comparison of the four national governance modes, namely “the traditional”, “the claimed”, “the involution” and “the superior”, tells that responsibility is the key factor to highlight the advantages of the national governance modernization system. An interpretation of the internal logic of this mechanism in China’s national governance under the leadership of the Communist Party of China from the three dimensions of “concept”, “structure” and “action” of responsibility politics theory, the paper concludes, further provides relevant enlightenment for transforming this institutional advantage into a strong efficiency of national governance in the new era.

Key words: to pull all resources to accomplish major tasks, national governance, institutional advantages, governance efficiency, institutional logic
