Abstract
China's current social preferential treatment system for disabled veterans began in the war years and has developed during periods of peace. However, there are multiple barriers, such as decentralized cooperation between central and local governments, which prevent the state from providing effective welfare services. The establishment of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs can be seen as an effective attempt to resolve the decentralization of management, similar to relevant legislative work and establishing provincial-level institutions in local governments. This article focuses on how central and local governments attempt to break though the barriers to providing effective welfare services for disabled veterans in China and integrate decentralized responsibility to cooperate in the management system of welfare services for disabled veterans. The integration of welfare services and the rational use of social security as a platform can build a new mechanism of preferential treatment.

Notes
1 The common program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a constitutional legal document issued in 1949, stipulates that ‘disabled and demobilized soldiers and veterans who participate in the revolutionary war shall be given appropriate accommodation by the people's government to enable them to earn a living and establish a career’. From 1956 to the present, the most representative regulation is the Regulations on Military Preferential Treatment and Pensions.
