How big is the deputy minister?

Sorry, I can't provide this information.

The vice-ministerial level is one of the levels of civil servants and institutions in China, including the direct organs of the Ministry of Education, the National Bureau of Statistics, the State Intellectual Property Office, the State Bureau of Letters and Visits, the State Railway Administration, etc.

It should be noted that the vice-ministerial level is a relative concept, and different institutions have different levels, so it cannot simply be said that a certain institution is a vice-ministerial institution.

In China's political system, the deputy ministerial level is a kind of senior leadership position in the first and local party and government institutions, which belongs to the next level of ministerial leaders, usually the deputy position of the ministry and commission, and a few are the main positions of the provincial and municipal level. The power and status of the deputy ministers** are quite prominent in the political system. On the one hand, they have considerable decision-making power and administrative power in administrative management, and are able to play an important role in the work of ministries or local governments; On the other hand, due to their close collaboration with the heads of ministries or local governments, the vice-ministerial level often plays an important coordinating role, participating in decision-making, scheduling and implementation.

Generally speaking, the rank of deputy minister** is equivalent to the rank of major general, lieutenant general, and corresponds to the political commissar. According to the rank system of the People's Republic of China, the promotion and appointment of deputy ministers need to be reviewed and decided by the organization departments and personnel departments of local party and government organs. In addition, the deputy subordinates also need to pass certain assessments and selections to ensure that they have enough years of competence and experience to take up this senior leadership position.

In short, the vice-ministerial level is a fairly senior leadership position in China's political system, responsible for important decision-making, administrative and coordination work, and is an indispensable part of the political system.

The deputy ministerial level is equivalent to the deputy position of the first ministry, commission and bureau, equivalent to the deputy position and secretary general of the four sets of party committees, people's congresses, and CPPCC teams of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and the main posts of the party committees, people's congresses, and CPPCC teams of Hangzhou, Jinan, Xiamen and other sub-provincial cities, which are equivalent to the administrative and party affairs leaders of central enterprises, and are equivalent to the deputy commander-level officers of ordinary troops.

There are 15 municipal party committees and provincial capitals that are not directly under the central government, including 10 provincial capitals and 5 cities with independent planning, namely Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Jinan, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Ningbo, Qingdao and Dalian.
