The Shaanxi Provincial People's Government is the local administrative agency of Shaanxi. It is officially elected by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress and is formally responsible to the Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress and its Standing Committee [zh]. Under the country's one-party system, the governor is subordinate to the secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. The Provincial government is headed by a governor, currently Zhao Gang.[1]

History

[edit]

The Shaanxi Province was first established in the Qing Dynasty ; before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the province consisted of Xi'an City, 92 counties and 1 administrative bureau.

During the Second Civil War, two Soviet governments, the Shaanxi -Gansu Border and Shaanxi-Northern Soviet Governments, and 11 county-level Soviet governments were established in northern Shaanxi and Yan'an. After the Central Red Army and the CPC Central Committee arrived in northern Shaanxi after the Long March, they merged the existing and newly developed government institutions into two provinces, Shaanxi -Gansu Province and three special districts, namely Sanbian, Guanzhong and Shenfu. On September 6, 1937, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government was established. As of 1943, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government governed Yan'an City and more than 20 counties including Shenfu and Yan'an in Shaanxi Province.[2]

In May 1949, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government moved to Xi'an. After the People's Liberation Army entered the entire province of Shaanxi, the administrative divisions were adjusted to 102 counties (cities, bureaus), which were managed by the sub-districts, the Northern Shaanxi Administrative Office, the Southern Shaanxi Administrative Office and Xi'an City. On January 10, 1950, the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government was established, with its capital in Xi'an. On the same day, the "Shaanxi Provincial People's Government Announcement" (Secret No. 1) was issued. The content is as follows:[3]

"In compliance with the order of the Central People's Government, Ma Mingfang is appointed as Chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, Zhang Bangying, Zhang Fenghui, and Han Zhao'e are appointed as Vice Chairmen, Fang Zhongru, Wang Fuchu, Mao Fengxiang, Zuo Xiezhong, An Wenqin... Han Wangchen and Su Zichen are appointed as Committee Members. Mingfang and others took office in Xi'an on January 10, 1950, and are determined to wholeheartedly implement the Common Program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, uphold the will of the Central People's Government and the Northwest Military and Political Committee, unite the people of Shaanxi, be of one mind and one virtue, and be diligent and loyal..."

After the establishment of the people's congress system, in accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China adopted in 1954, the second session of the first Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress was held in Xi'an Mass Hall from December 26 to December 31 of that year; the meeting elected members of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Committee. As a result, the highest official of the people's government was no longer called the chairman, but the governor.[4]

After the Cultural Revolution began, political organizations at all levels emerged in the form of revolutionary committees. So on May 1, 1968, the Shaanxi Provincial Revolutionary Committee was established in Xi'an. In December 1979, the Second Session of the Fifth Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress decided to restore the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. This meeting also re-elected the governor, vice governor, president of the Provincial High People's Court, and procurator-general of the Provincial People's Procuratorate. The Shaanxi Provincial People's Government is located at No. 280 Jiefang Road, Xincheng District, Xi'an.
