China's ""guerrilla policy style"" is characterized by a decentralized approach to policy making, in which policy initiatives are often developed and implemented at the local level by officials who have a large degree of freedom from central authorities in undertaking policy projects.
These policies, if successful, are then scaled up to a national level. Under China's guerrilla policy style, policymakers are often willing to accept some degree of disorder, experimentation, and even failure in the pursuit of policy goals.
