National Autonomous Local Administrative Autonomy

According to the Chinese constitution and Law of the People's Republic of China on Regional National Autonomy, regional national autonomy means that the minority nationalities, under unified state leadership, practice regional autonomy in areas where they live in concentrated communities and set up organs of self-government for the exercise of the power of autonomy. Regional national autonomy embodies the State's full respect for and guarantee of the right of the minority nationalities to administer their internal affairs, and reveals its adherence to the principle of equality, unity and common prosperity for all the nationalities and the great advantages of our socialistic system. Regional national autonomy is the core in the implementation of Law of the People's Republic of China on Regional National Autonomy and the symbol of the equality of all the nationalities.The organs of self-government of national autonomous areas are the people's congresses and people's governments of autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures and autonomous counties. The people's congresses are organs of state power and the people's governments are organs of administration and the executive bodies, which play vital roles in practicing regional autonomy. According to laws, the people's governments shall, in the light of local characteristics and needs, work out the guidelines, policies and plans, arrange for and administer local development independently under the guidance of State plans, i.e. practicing administrative autonomy.
