The Hebei Provincial People's Government is the local administrative agency of Hebei. It is officially elected by the Hebei Provincial People's Congress and is formally responsible to the Hebei Provincial People's Congress and its Standing Committee. Under the country's one-party system, the governor is subordinate to the secretary of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. The Provincial government is headed by a governor, currently Wang Zhengpu.[1]
On August 1, 1949, the Hebei Provincial People's Government was formally established, with its capital in Baoding. In 1955, it was reorganized into the Hebei Provincial People's Committee. In February 1958, Tianjin was merged with Hebei Province, and the capital of Hebei Province was relocated to Tianjin. In January 1967, Tianjin was restored as a municipality directly under the Central Government, and the capital of Hebei Province was moved back to Baoding. However, due to the "seizure of power" of the Hebei Provincial People's Committee and armed struggle in Baoding, Hebei Province fell into anarchy. In January 1968, the Beijing Military Region convened a preparatory meeting for the Hebei Provincial Revolutionary Committee. After Zheng Weishan and Li Xuefeng signed and submitted the " Beijing Military Region 's Request Report on the Establishment of the Hebei Provincial Revolutionary Committee" to the Central Government and it was approved, the capital of Hebei Province was moved to Shijiazhuang again. In February of that year, the Hebei Provincial Revolutionary Committee was established.[2] In January 1980, the Hebei Provincial Revolutionary Committee was abolished and the Hebei Provincial People's Government was re-established. In May 2016, the seat of the Hebei Provincial People's Government was moved from No. 46 Weimin South Street, Qiaoxi District, Shijiazhuang City to No. 113 Yuhua East Road, Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang City.[3]
