Abstract
This paper surveys for research which examine empirically what kind of relationship exists between government trust, the communists trust and the trust in specific group in China. Especially, We focus on how the trust in specific group affects government trust and the communists trust by regression analysis and correlation analysis. The research reveals that : the level of government trust and the communists trust is lower than that of the trust in blood relationship group. But it doesn't mean that the trust in specific group has negative influence on government trust and the communists trust. Conversely, the trust in blood relationship group affects government trust and the communists trust positively. From these results, We deduce that the trust in a personnel of a specific group would be act as the factor to consolidate the trust in government and the communists.
