Government of China → Political system of China – The previous discussion ended without a consensus, and some users proposed renaming the article as an alternative. I personally think this is a much better method, as it preserves the article content. Maybe it can gain more support compared to the previous proposal.

- Oppose as the proposed title represents a broader topic and veers into politics of China. - Amigao (talk) 21:17, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. The proposal is not an improvement and risks making the scope too vague. —Myceteae🍄🟫(talk) 22:14, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
Government of the People's Republic of China
[edit]Currently, I have one small quip regarding this article's use of the term "government of the People's Republic of China". While I can see how "government of China" can refer to the broader state structures generally, "government of the People's Republic of China" is a very specific legal term China uses to conduct treaties with other nations; it generally refers to the Central People's Government, i.e. the State Council, so equating the whole state structure with the government of the People's Republic of China is misleading. What can be done to remedy this? The Account 2 (talk) 21:23, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- This will have to be part of a larger push. We have three articles: Politics of China, Government of China and the System of people's congress that are all about the same thing. It can be done, but then we have to make the edits first, and then do the other things. TheUzbek (talk) 08:17, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- I also think that the Government of China is applicable to the "government of the People's Republic of China" since it is a one-party state. It's not the equivalent of calling the Obama Administration's government of the U,S., the government of the U.S., or the Trump Administration's. See my comments below: Stevenmitchell (talk) 04:19, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- Why is the "Chinese government" redirected to "Politics of China?" Government and Politics are not the same thing. They are not identical or parallel words. Government is about the functioning of a nation, and politics is about the personalities and dynamics of political competition, not how things are managed politically, economically, socially and culturally through sociopolitical structures. The redirect to this topic is a conceptual misnomer and should be redirected to the People's Republic of China, which is currently the government, in a one-party state.
