Xiamen Committee of the Chinese Communist Party
The Xiamen Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (中國共產黨廈門市委員會) is the highest organ of CCP authority in Xiamen, Fujian Province. As with all municipal-level party committees in China, it sits above the city government in the political hierarchy — the committee’s Party Secretary outranks the mayor. The committee oversees all party work in Xiamen, controls key personnel appointments across government, media, and state enterprises, and is responsible for implementing directives from the CCP Fujian Provincial Committee and the CCP Central Committee. Xiamen holds particular strategic significance within the CCP’s cross-strait policy apparatus as the mainland city closest to Taiwan, and its municipal committee has historically been a focal point for cross-strait economic, cultural, and political engagement. Xiamen Daily serves as the committee’s official organ.
