Politics of Sichuan

The politics of Sichuan Province in the People's Republic of China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China.

The Governor of Sichuan is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Sichuan. However, in the province's dual party-government governing system, the Governor has less power than the Sichuan Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Provincial Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "Sichuan CCP Party Chief".
