Factors affecting the transition of the competitive sports function of the Guangzhou government include such favorable factors as developed economy, strong sports con-sciousness, and regional culture of daring to be a pioneer, as well as obstructive factors such as lagged development of nongovernmental competitive sports organizations, obstruction of vested interest groups, and strong official standard consciousness. The authors pointed out that the government should, based on the principle of intervention under the precondition that normal market mechanism running behaviors are not harmed, strengthen the govern-ment’s macro regulation function, weaken the government’s micro management function, enhance the government’s market supervision function, and realize the goal for functional transition into an efficient and servicing government, by taking such measures as improving the competitive sports supply system, realizing the diversification of the main body of competitive sports service supply, defining and protecting competitive sports property rights, establishing complete laws and legislations, transiting or changing governmental functions and power exercising manners.
