A netizen asked me about the secretary of the municipal party committee of the prefecture-level city where he worked. He was recently transferred to the provincial capital city as mayor, which made him very confused. It turned out that the secretary of the municipal party committee was the top leader, but now he has transferred to the provincial capital city as mayor and has become the second-in-command. Should he be demoted or promoted? This made him puzzled.
The netizen's question was very targeted and valuable. Since he did not reveal to me which prefecture-level city he transferred from to which province's capital city he served as mayor, we must analyze his question in a layered manner in order to get a more correct answer.
Municipal Party Secretary Level
As we all know, in my country's administrative divisions, prefecture-level cities are very common administrative division units. Strictly speaking, prefecture-level cities are not an administrative division stipulated in the Constitution. Among the administrative divisions stipulated in my country's Constitution, there are only four levels: central, provincial, county, and town. Prefecture-level cities are just an administrative division that actually exists. It is an administrative division evolved from the original regions and administrative agencies.
There is no administrative affiliation between prefecture-level cities and counties. The two are just the relationship between stewardship and being managed. Only the county and province have a formal administrative affiliation. Prefecture-level cities are only the concept of prefecture-level cities in a strict sense. In other words, only each district is the son of prefecture-level cities, and the two have administrative affiliation. For example, on the resident ID card of Linqu County in Shandong Province, the three words Weifang City will not appear, and only Linqu County, Shandong will appear, and in the ID card number of residents in Hanting District, Weifang City, Shandong, there will be three words Weifang City.
You can see a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the setting of the Public Security Bureau has very strict boundaries for districts and counties. For the public security bureau, if it is a county public security bureau, it is generally called the county public security bureau. It belongs to the department of the county government. The directors and deputy directors of the county public security bureau are all appointed by the county government or the county people's congress standing committee. The county party secretary and county magistrate have great power to suggest and decide the candidates for the nomination and final decisions of the county public security bureau director and deputy director. The county public security bureau can be said to obey the work arrangements of the county party committee and county government without hesitation.
. The public security bureaus of each district are called public security bureaus. They do not belong to the district government, but to the dispatched branch of the municipal public security bureau and are part of the municipal public security bureau. The appointments of the director and deputy director of the Public Security Bureau are all appointed by the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The county party committee and county government do not have any appointment power. Generally speaking, the personnel of the Public Security Bureau are managed by the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the party organization relationship and daily wages are responsible by the district party committee and government where they are located.
This leads to a very embarrassing phenomenon, that is, sometimes the work arranged by the district party committee and government for the public security bureau is inconsistent with the relevant requirements of the municipal public security bureau, the public security bureau will follow the arrangements of the municipal public security bureau without hesitation, which makes some district party committees and governments feel very depressed and dissatisfied, especially in promoting the construction of some key projects and demolition work. If there is no full support and escort from the public relations department, the promotion of some key tasks, key projects, and key projects will be restricted by public disturbances.
Since the provincial level is at the ministerial level, the prefecture-level city level is generally at the department level, while the district level is at the department level. Since the level of prefecture-level cities is the level of a department, the level of a municipal party secretary as a prefecture-level city is generally the level of a department. The general concept is emphasized here, because some municipal party secretaries of prefecture-level cities with particularly important status may be part of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, so the level of a municipal party secretary is also the deputy ministerial level, such as Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Luoyang City, Henan Province, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, Yantai City, Shandong Province, etc.
It should be noted that although the municipal party secretaries of these prefecture-level cities are also members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, it does not mean that the level of these prefecture-level cities is the vice-ministerial level. The mayors and chairman of the Municipal CPPCC of these prefecture-level cities are only leading cadres at the department level, and the top leaders of all districts, counties and departments are also only leading cadres at the department level.
Mayor level of provincial capital cities
Except for 4 municipalities directly under the central government, there are 27 provincial capital cities in 22 provinces and 5 autonomous regions in mainland my country. Although they are all provincial capital cities, in fact, the administrative levels of provincial capital cities are not the same, but are divided into two types: one is a sub-provincial city, and the other is an ordinary provincial capital city, with an administrative level only equivalent to a prefecture-level city.
In my country's urban administrative level, sub-provincial cities are very special. They are between municipalities directly under the central government and prefecture-level cities and belong to the deputy ministerial-level organizational structure. The administrative level of sub-provincial cities is the vice ministerial-level level, and the level of municipal party secretary is naturally the deputy ministerial-level cadres.
comprehensively considers the economic strength, development positioning, historical contribution, regional driving force and other factors of the city. There are 15 sub-provincial cities in my country, from north to south, Harbin City, Changchun City, Jilin Province, Shenyang City and Dalian City, Jinan City and Shandong Province, Qingdao City, , Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, Hangzhou City and Ningbo City, , Xiamen City, Fujian Province, Shenzhen City and Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.
It should be noted that sub-provincial city refers to the "administrative level" of the city, not the "administrative division level" of the city. The so-called administrative level refers to the administrative level of the city's administrative organization, mainly the administrative level of the city party secretary, mayor, deputy mayor, constituent institutions, working departments and other leaders of the municipal government.
The top leader of the deputy provincial city is the deputy ministerial level, among which the municipal party committee secretary is a member of the provincial party committee standing committee. Although the municipal party secretary of general provincial capital cities is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, except for 10 sub-provincial provincial capital cities, other provincial capital cities are still just ordinary prefecture-level cities, and the administrative level of the city has not been improved because the municipal party secretary is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
The level of a deputy provincial city is the deputy ministerial level. The secretary of the municipal party committee, mayor, director of the municipal standing committee, and chairman of the municipal CPPCC are central-level cadres , that is, deputy ministerial-level leaders. They need to be nominated by the central government or directly appointed, that is, the secretary of the municipal party committee is appointed by the central government, and the mayor, director of the municipal people's congress standing committee, and chairman of the municipal CPPCC are nominated by the central government and appointed in accordance with relevant legal procedures. The deputy positions in the four teams of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, Municipal People's Government, and Municipal CPPCC in the sub-provincial city are department-level leading cadres. They are provincial-level cadres and are directly appointed or nominated by the Provincial Party Committee.
15 sub-provincial cities are provincial capitals, and the other 5 are the most economic cities in the province (except Ningbo City and Xiamen City ), namely Dalian City in Liaoning Province, Qingdao City in Shandong Province, Ningbo City in Zhejiang Province, Xiamen City in Fujian Province and Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province.
The administrative level of 10 provincial capital cities, including Harbin City, Changchun City of Jilin Province, Shenyang City of Liaoning Province, Jinan City of Shandong Province, Xi'an City of Shaanxi Province, Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province, Wuhan City of Hubei Province, Chengdu City of Sichuan Province, Hangzhou City of Zhejiang Province, and Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province is the vice-ministerial level. The other 17 provincial capital cities in mainland my country are just ordinary prefecture-level cities, which means that the mayors of these prefecture-level cities are just department-level leading cadres.
If the municipal party secretary of a prefecture-level city is transferred to the provincial capital of a deputy provincial city to serve as mayor
If the municipal party secretary of an ordinary prefecture-level city is transferred to the provincial capital of a deputy provincial city to serve as mayor, this is a very obvious promotion, because the municipal party secretary of an ordinary prefecture-level city is only a department-level leading cadre and is a provincial-level cadre. If the mayor of a deputy provincial city is transferred to the mayor, it is a deputy ministerial-level cadre and becomes a central-level cadre.
was transferred from the municipal party secretary of an ordinary prefecture-level city to the mayor of the provincial capital of a deputy provincial city. Not only did the administrative level change from the department level to the deputy ministerial level, but the economic scale and comprehensive influence of the sub-provincial city are several times or even dozens of times larger than that of ordinary prefecture-level cities, the power of the work has been further extended in depth and breadth.
Generally speaking, a province has more than 10 prefecture-level cities. The municipal party secretaries of these prefecture-level cities are all at the department level. Being able to become deputy ministerial-level leading cadres is the life dream of the municipal party secretaries of most prefecture-level cities. Because not only can level improvement be achieved, only deputy ministerial-level cadres can be considered real senior cadres and can enjoy corresponding housing and secretary treatment. More importantly, they realize the value of life and better display their life ambitions. Therefore, once they become the mayor of a deputy provincial city, the level will automatically become the deputy ministerial level. This is the result that many prefecture-level municipal party secretaries have dreamed of.
If you can become the mayor of a deputy provincial city, it will be very optimistic about the further development of your career. If you are the mayor of a relatively young deputy provincial city and have outstanding abilities, you are very likely to be promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee of a deputy provincial city. Once promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee of a deputy provincial city, he will naturally become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
The status of a provincial party committee member and a municipal party secretary in a provincial city is very important. In terms of position and power, it is second only to the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Standing Committee. Moreover, if you do well as the secretary of the municipal party committee of the deputy provincial city, you can also be directly promoted to the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and even become the governor of in one step. These have precedents.
If the municipal party secretary of a prefecture-level city is transferred to an ordinary provincial capital city as mayor
If the municipal party secretary of a prefecture-level city is transferred to an ordinary provincial capital city as mayor, no changes have occurred in terms of administrative level, because they are still leading cadres at the department level and are provincial-level cadres.
In terms of the authority of work, the municipal party secretary of the prefecture-level city to serve as mayors in the provincial capital city, which should have declined, because serving as the municipal party secretary in the prefecture-level city is a perfect leader, and he has the right authority to arrange personnel, finance and major projects in the prefecture-level city. When he went to the provincial capital city to serve as mayor, he was only the top leader of the municipal government, and he also served as the secretary of the municipal party committee who served as the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He did not have much say in the personnel rights of cadres and personnel, but only the right to suggest. He was suppressed by the secretary of the municipal party committee in terms of the breadth and depth of power.
Of course, it is very normal for this to be suppressed by the municipal party secretary, because although the position of the municipal party secretary of the provincial capital city is at the level of the department, they are all part of the provincial party committee member. The Standing Committee member of the provincial party committee is a deputy ministerial-level leader. It is a dimensional reduction blow to the mayor of ordinary provincial capital cities and has absolute authority.
And overall or in the long run, since the economic scale and influence of provincial capital cities are much larger than that of ordinary prefecture-level cities, the mayor of provincial capital cities is not lower than that of municipal party secretary of prefecture-level cities in terms of development prospects and breadth and depth of power.
Because although the mayor of an ordinary provincial capital city is only at the level of a department, the power at this level is much more valuable than that of the municipal party secretary of most prefecture-level cities. In addition to personnel rights, the mayor of the provincial capital city has no right to decide. In terms of funding arrangements, project construction and other important tasks, the mayor of the provincial capital city has great decision-making power. Generally speaking, the secretary of the municipal party committee will respect the mayor's authority in economic work.
For economic provinces like Henan, Anhui, and Hunan without sub-provincial cities, the economic volume of provincial capital cities can almost account for 1/3 of the total economic volume of the province. Therefore, a provincial capital city may have to surpass the economic volume of three or four prefecture-level cities. It is conceivable how much responsibility and power mayors of provincial capital cities have.
Especially as the mayor of a provincial capital city, he has inherent advantages in promoting the position of the municipal party committee secretary of the provincial capital city, because he is a leader who is very familiar with the various work of the provincial capital city. Once the municipal party secretary of the provincial capital city is transferred or promoted, the mayor of the provincial capital city is very likely to take over as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Once he takes over as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he can be promoted to a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and automatically become a deputy ministerial-level cadre. This is also a fast lane of progress, or a shortcut to Zhongnan.
From a practical point of view, in Henan Province, the city secretary of the prefecture-level city is often transferred to Zhengzhou as mayor. Zhengzhou's economic scale is very large, and GDP has exceeded one trillion yuan. As the position of mayor in Zhengzhou, it is very important. The economic scale of other prefecture-level cities in Henan Province is much worse than that in Zhengzhou. Therefore, there are ordinary prefecture-level city secretary of Henan Province who is transferred to Zhengzhou as mayor. Although the administrative level is still a leading cadre at the department level, it is actually a disguised reuse.
Of course, it was transferred from the municipal party secretary of the prefecture-level city to the provincial capital city as mayor. There is a problem of changing work roles, because many municipal party secretaries of the prefecture-level city are used to being the top leader in the prefecture-level city, thinking about problems and making decisions and implementing them. That is the only one-on-one existence. They are used to being the top leader themselves, and once they become the second-one again, they sometimes become not used to it and are not very used to it.
Some mayors may have some conflicts with the municipal party secretary of the provincial capital city and are not getting along well, while others can correctly understand their role positioning, adjust their mentality in time, and handle their relationship with the municipal party secretary very well, which is also conducive to their long-term development.
What needs to be reported to you here is that the above-mentioned transfer of the municipal party secretary of the prefecture-level city to serve as mayors in provincial capitals means that the secretary of the municipal party committee of a very ordinary prefecture-level city, does not mean that the secretary of the municipal party committee of the prefecture-level city who has been appointed as the mayors in provincial capitals. This situation is not within the scope of our discussion. For example, the Secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee in Jiangsu Province is already a permanent member of the provincial party committee. He is already a deputy provincial cadre and a member of the leadership team of the provincial party committee standing committee. It is logical that it is impossible to be transferred to Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province as mayor, because although the mayor of Nanjing is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, he is not a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, this situation is impossible.
Overall, if the secretary of the municipal party committee of an ordinary prefecture-level city is transferred to an ordinary provincial capital city to serve as mayor, although the administrative level has not changed, it is still a disguised reuse in terms of development prospects and the depth and breadth of power.
Through the above in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis, we can conclude that the party secretary of an ordinary prefecture-level city will be transferred to a provincial capital city as mayor. If he is transferred to a sub-provincial city, it will definitely be promoted. If he is transferred to an ordinary provincial capital city, it can be regarded as a disguised reuse, but it cannot be understood as a demotion, because this does not conform to the principle of cadre training. Generally speaking, the organization department will place cadres in more important and more difficult positions for use, which is also conducive to fully mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of cadres.
