Party and state leaders

This article is about national leaders of the PRC. For leaders of PRC institutions, see List of leaders of the People's Republic of China.

Party and State leaders (党和国家领导人) is a political jargon used by official documents and by official media in China, referring to specific senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). The range of Party and State leaders are prescribed by the national civil servant system. Only officials holding the rank of "chief positions at the state level" (国家级正职, or commonly "national level" 正国级) or "deputy positions at the state level" (国家级正职, or commonly "sub-national level" 副国级) are considered Party and State leaders.

Qualified Office Holders

edit

Holders of the following offices qualify as Party and State leaders:[1]

In addition to the holders of the above office, historically, members of the standing committee of the Central Advisory Commission (existed between 1982 and 1992) were considered Party and State leaders. The 20 military leaders who were conferred titles of "Marshal of the People's Republic" and "Grand General of the People's Liberation Army" in 1955 were all considered former Party and State leaders when they were alive.

As of June 2024, the 66 holders of the following 102 offices are considered Party and State leaders. Of the 67 holders, 6 are women, 19 are not official members of the CCP.
