The new "Archives Law" establishes "filing a complaint with the archives administration authority" as the statutory remedy path for the right to use archives. This study analyzes the existing controversies over the administrative subject status of state archives and the nature of administrative acts involved in opening archives for use, as well as the new "Archives Law"'s response to these issues. It deconstructs Paragraph 2 of Article 28 of the new "Archives Law" at both the procedural and substantive levels, and examines whether the complaint handling of archives administration authorities is subject to administrative reconsideration and litigation. Finally, drawing on the idea of "dual constitutional logic," it attempts to construct a diversified and systematic remedy path that is based on complaint handling, takes an interest assessment grounded in "interested relationship" as a precondition, and centers on remedies under the "sovereignty logic" and the "governance logic."
