[edit] More Substantial Content
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
[edit] Merge?
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)
- Central People's Government is not recognizable in English as the government of China. If it is in use in China to refer to the government of China, that might be mentioned in the article. Politics is the process of influencing or controlling a government, not government itself. I think we are having some problems in semantics with literal translations of Chinese terminology not meaning in English what they mean in Chinese. Fred Bauder 14:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with the above. Government of the PRC is clear, Central People's Government would only be found via a redirect which Wikipedia prefers to minimize. SnowFire 03:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree with the merge. This article (government of the People's Republic of China) is a topical article discussing the government aspect of the politics of the PRC. The politics and government articles can be better organised, e.g. politics and government of France. It currently covers the legal system, the communist party, the PLA, etc. The Central People's Government in modern times is largely synonymous with the State Council, but the term has in the past different meanings. — Instantnood 21:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

- The problem is that this page is almost exactly the same as the Politics of China page - word for word. If the article is not going to refer specifically to the Government, as opposed to the party and the military, then it should be merged with politics of China (have a look at that page - it is exactly the same). If, on the other hand, it is to refer to the Government, as in one of the three parts of the politics of China, the other 2 being the party and the military, then it should be merged with Central People's Government, and most of the stuff in this article about the party and military should be gotten rid of. Either way, this article needs to be merged with one of the two. What then that new article should be called is another matter. It may be true that Government of China is a better name than Central People's Government, although I think Central People's Government specifically marks out one of the three branches of authority in China, whereas Government of China is more broad, and is similar to Politics of China. If we are going to maintain the page Government, then the content should be distinguished from, and more than a cut and paste of, Politics of China. - Matthew238 00:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- According to verious sources, "' the Central People's Government' is synonymous with the State Council", therefore the merger is proposed between the wrong articles. I will change the tags accordingly. Ohconfucius 09:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
