The People’s Government of Chongqing Municipality

The People’s Government of Chongqing Municipality (重慶市人民政府) is the administrative body of China’s fourth and largest direct-controlled municipality in China. The mayor runs the government but is subordinate to the municipal party secretary, the top leader. It comprises a mayor, vice mayors, a General Office, and numerous bureaus handling public security, judicial affairs, and civil, economic, social, and cultural matters. The government was established in December 1949, restructured as the Chongqing Revolutionary Committee (重慶革命委員會) during the Cultural Revolution in June 1968, and re-established to its current form in March 1980. Chongqing has often been a focus of policy experimentation, including the formation in 2018 of China’s first international communication center, which operates the iChongqing platform for external propaganda.
