The Sichuan Provincial People's Government is the local administrative agency of Sichuan. It is officially elected by the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress and is formally responsible to the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress and its Standing Committee. Under the country's one-party system, the governor is subordinate to the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. The Provincial government is headed by a governor, currently Shi Xiaolin.[1]
In December 1949, the Southwest Campaign ended and the Chinese Communist Party seized the entire Sichuan Province.[2] From January 1950, the administrative offices of East Sichuan, South Sichuan, West Sichuan and North Sichuan were established in Sichuan. On August 7, 1952, the 17th meeting of the Central People's Government Committee decided to abolish the above four administrative offices and merge them to form the Sichuan Provincial People's Government. In January 1955, it was renamed the Sichuan Provincial People's Committee. In July of the same year, Xikang Province was incorporated. In 1967, power was seized. In May 1968, the Sichuan Provincial Revolutionary Committee was established. In December 1979, the Sichuan Provincial Revolutionary Committee was abolished and the Sichuan Provincial People's Government was re-established.
