The State Council issued Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Disclosure of Government Information in April 2007 and put it into effect officially in May 2008. China’s system design of the disclosure scope of the government information is quite different from foreign countries when compared with The Freedom of Information Act of USA, Britain, Japan, etc. The difference is not incidental, and it is the product of legislative concept and principle so that the implement has been still unsatisfactory during several years after the regulation was put into effect. In our opinion, the key to solve the problem is to rebuild and reconstruct legislative concept and principle of the disclosure of the government information according to the general jurisprudence of the disclosure of modern government information, so as to realize the transformation from the Need to Know to the Right to Know. This article also presents some personal opinions about the amendment of the first article of Archives Law of the People's Republic of China.
