This paper analyzes China's telecommunications policy-making mechanism, by drawing on institutional theory and bargaining theory. Key factors of shaping China's telecommunications policy are examined and the implementation of China's telecommunications policy in network development, competition, foreign direct investment, and regulatory restructuring is investigated. To achieve the transition toward pro-competitive telecommunications policy in China, it is necessary to dramatically reform its telecommunications policy-making mechanism. First of all, telecommunications legislation should be enacted to serve a legal ground on which the telecommunications policy rests. Second, the undue political and administrative interventions should be avoided. Third, the informal bargaining and lobbying should be replaced by transparent policy-making mechanisms. Fourth, the objectives of the telecommunications policy-making should be accountable for all the participants equally without discrimination. Finally, the values and norms embedded in the telecommunications policy-making mechanism should be clearly defined in the telecommunications legislation.
