The politics of Shenzhen in Guangdong province in the People's Republic of China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China.
The mayor of Shenzhen is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Shenzhen or Shenzhen Municipal Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the mayor has less power than Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Shenzhen, colloquially termed the "CCP Party Chief of Shenzhen" or "Communist Party Secretary of Shenzhen".
