So far the only government site given is the english one. I would appreciate the chinese version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.245.115 ( talk) 08:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, this page really sucks. It doesn't tell you anything about how government in the PRC actually works. I'd like to see some description of the tiao/kuai relationship and the descent of authority from the Center to provinces to cities, townships, villages. etc. Also some explanation of the problems inherent in the Chinese system including the lack of a stable, formal mechanism for the transfer of power and the informal basis of politics, ie. a leader's power depends more on who supports him and less on his actual position. -- Kingshiadric, 14 February 2006
This page contains too much text that was copied from politics of the People's Republic of China (indeed, it seems all of it was copied from there). The entity we should be interested in is the Central People's Government. We should be expanding that article. The relations between party state and army belongs under politics, not under a entity "Government of the People's Republic of China " (more properly the "Central People's Government") which belongs solely under the state. -- Jiang 18:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
This article says (or implies) that the constitution of the People's Republic of China defines the president's power. I read through an english translation of it (linked to in Constitution of the People's Republic of China) and I saw no reference whatever to the president or courts. Also, it seems important to note that there are no specific references to how the government works in any of the constitution. This leaves the whole government in the hands of the Communist Party and in the hands of whoever is in power. Rhinocerous Ranger ( talk) 19:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
There are lots of statistics here, but it's unclear how the hierarchy of local governments is structured, exactly. What is the difference between a prefecture, county, city, municipality, urban district, township, and village? What does it mean to be (for example) a county-level city? Also, it would be informative to have more information about which local governments are elected vs. appointed. -- Beland ( talk) 16:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
It would be informative to give some sense of how much independence (if any) the various organs of government have from the Communist Party (or other centers of power), in practice. How much of a role does corruption play in government? -- Beland ( talk) 16:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The first sentence reads "All power within the government of the People's Republic of China is divided among three bodies: the People's Republic of China, State Council, and the People's Liberation Army (PLA)." The second "People's Republic of China" seems to be in error, as it makes no sense. Based on the rest of the paragraph, it appears that "Communist Party of China" is what is intended.

Government of the People's Republic of China → Government of China – For the same reason that China is at China, and People's Republic of China is a redirect to it. I would also move the current Government of China page to Government of China (disambiguation). bd2412 T 20:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I recommend moving this page's contents to "Government of the People's Republic of China," which currently redirects to this page, in order to maintain neutrality with respect to the PROC's and ROC's rival claims to legitimacy as the government of China per se.

The result of the move request was: not moved. While I understand the concerns for WP:PRECISE, arguments for WP:COMMONNAME are prevalent here. ( non-admin closure) Sky Warrior 03:24, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Government of China → Government of the People's Republic of China – Per Antediluvian67's request, the PRC Government only controls the Mainland while the ROC controls the Taiwan area. 135.23.144.238 ( talk) 01:07, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

First off, there's the "too few inline citations" that's been there since 2008. (It has recently be removed, and I disagree, there are still too few inline citations.)
There is effectively no lead, as the article immediately begins with a list.
The article makes no mention of potential problems/controversies/etc with the government, and seems stripped of anything positive or negative about it, being purely informational.
There are a good few too many sections, which could definitely be condensed.
And there are almost definitely more issues, but i'm not a skilled enough editor to spot them.

Doesn’t make sense. “that” after the first comma should be replaced by “but”. And “is usually holding” by “usually holds”. 82.36.70.45 ( talk) 16:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello! I had a suggestion to improve our article which is why I will suggest the changes on the talk page for discussion and work towards a consensus.
The current article reads: "The Government of the People's Republic of China is a unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party authoritarian political system under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2]"
I had originally wanted to change it to this: "The Government of the People's Republic of China follows a unitary Marxist–Leninist framework with a dominant authoritarian governance style. Within this framework, China's political landscape features the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as the pivotal central leadership entity among the nine political parties in the nation.[1][2]"
However, another editor commented about how the language is essay-like. That wasn't my intention and I agree that it can be improved.
Here is my new suggestion: "The Government of the People's Republic of China is a unitary Marxist–Leninist authoritarian political system with 9 political parties led primarily by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1][2]
This change benefits our article for multiple reasons.
1. Another user, 5+ months ago had suggested more emphasis to the 8 minor parties. Over 1 month ago, I had shown my agreement to the request but did not edit the article to wait for other editors to contribute.
2. The current lead does not mention anything about the other political parties that exist. This hurts the balance of our article. This is why I suggest mentioning the 9 political parties as well as emphasis on the dominant role the CCP plays.
3. The question of whether China has a one-party system is not agreed upon unanimously. To reflect a more nuanced view of reality, I have included a source for it. [1]
4. One of the sources, Minzner, Carl. "Countries at the Crossroads 2011: China", does not reflect the information in the article so I suggest it be removed (and replaced with the source listed above).
The current version reads: "The Government of the People's Republic of China is a unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party authoritarian political system under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."
However, the source for this statement reads: "[There are] eight minor political parties as channels for providing government and party leaders with suggestions"
Interestingly, the source follows up by saying "Party authorities, however, retain tight control over candidate pools and selection processes, and warn that candidates' popular support should not be the determining factor in ultimate selection decisions."
The primary source provided from this secondary source can be found here. Nowhere in this source does it say that party authorities retain tight control over candidate pools and selection processes, nor does it warn that candidates' popular support should not be the determining factor in ultimate selection decisions which is why I suggest it be removed.
