Abstract：Gender Responsive Budgets have an ability to react timely to the existing gender inequality in the supply of public resources and public services. GRB can allocate public resources and services adequately to meet different demands of men and women, boys and girls, promoting gender equality. Low-level cognition, a gender neutral tendency in the current budget system, a political power dichotomy between the center and the marginalized, and a lack of mature implementing tools and supporting security system are the main obstacles to the adoption of GRB in China. Different countries have different motives of implementing GRBs and chosen paths. The promotion strategy in China's GRBs can make a breakthrough on the basis of summarizing pilot experience in Zhang Jiakou, Jiaozuo and Wenling; realize its role as policy tools that can also be used for mainstreaming gender, and promoting harmonious development between the sexes.
