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 Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Chengdu, colloquially termed the "Communist Party Secretary of Chengdu" or "Party Secretary of Chengdu".[ citation needed ]
