Subdistrict Offices in Cities

Subdistrict offices are the management bodies of the township-level administrative subdistricts in cities. With the approval of the people's governments at the next higher level, the people's governments of municipal districts and cities not divided into districts may set up subdistrict offices as their dispatched representatives.

The chief of a subdistrict office assumes overall responsibility. Under the leadership of the Party working committee of the subdistrict, the subdistrict office carries out the Party's guideline, principles, and policies; exercises law-based comprehensive functions related to public services, urban management, and social governance of the subdistrict under its jurisdiction and coordinates local, social and public work. To encourage the social sectors to join the services and social governance, the subdistrict office may purchase their services, support venture philanthropy, grant subsidies and rewards, provide resources, offer special assistance, commission projects, train personnel, and offer free access to or rental reduction for venues used for various activities.
