Summary/Abstract: The article examines the models of local self-government in the two countries and compares them. Bulgaria has a one-tier local self-government, while in China the local self-government comprises several levels. In the two legal systems, the subordination, super ordination and coordination between local and central authorities are characterized by different degrees of dependence and intensity, which is the result of the historical development and the political systems of the states.
