Since China adopted the reforming and open policy in 1979, commercial activities have been developing vigorously. The advertising industry is booming in pace with market needs. And the Chinese government has also formulated many corresponding advertising regulation policies. This thesis emphasizes on the differences in advertising regulation policy between U.S.A. and China. The main purpose is to supply reference for those who intend to engage in business on the mainland, as well as who make the advertising regulation policy in R.O.C. This thesis takes the regulation on "tobacco ads" as an example, and analyzes by comparative study method. With reference to the argument of Nell J. Smelser in his (The Methodology of Comparative Analysis) (1973), this thesis lay particular emphasis on dynamic analysis. The constructed typology is also adopted and a conception model created. After the comparative analysis of documents, according to Y. Dror's analysis model, the following points are discovered: 1. The making-out of regulation policy in China is an Elite Model in public policy, i.e. a kind of "commanding control system"; That of U.S.A. is a Team Model, 1. e. a kind of "competing control system". 2. The comparative analysis on advertising regulation policy between China and U.S.A. shows that they share in control target, but differ in the ideology, policy-making system and policy enforcing situation. 3. The function of china's advertising self-regulation bodies and their enforcing capacity should be improved. They may use the Successful experience, of U.S.A. in this regard. 4. Both China and U.S.A. have adopted increasingly strict regulation on tobacco ads. Further studying is needed on the development of regulation policy in the future.
