Politics of Chengdu

Last updated

The Politics of Chengdu in Sichuan province, China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China. Chengdu Municipal Government is deeply influenced by its long past. Chengdu's political system reflects the two major influences on the historical development of China: on the one hand, its legacy as an over 2,000 years feudal system region, and on the other, the powerful influence exerted by China's neighbor to the north, the Soviet Union.

The Mayor is the highest-ranking official in Chengdu Municipal Government, which officially called Chengdu Municipal People's Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the Mayor has less power than the Communist Party of Chengdu Municipal Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "Communist Party Secretary of Chengdu" or "Party Secretary of Chengdu".

Introduction

As a city of the Communist State, Chengdu's system of government was based on the Soviet Union system of one party dictatorship. This is referred to as "Soviet Union-style" democracy.

Chengdu is governed by a democratically elected People's Congress, which corresponds to the parliament of democratic country. The Head of the Chengdu Municipal Government is the Mayor. The Mayor's agreement is required for an Act of Chengdu People's Congress to become law. The People's Congress has a number of different functions, first and foremost, it scrutinise the execution of constitution, laws, regulations in the city. Another important function is to debate the major issues of the city. Its other roles are to provide the means of carrying on the work of government by voting for leaders, including chairmen and vice-chairman of the People's Congress, mayor, deputy mayor, president of the municipal court and president of the municipal procuratorate.
