How to choose names of administrative units?
Regarding the two-level local government model, there is the provincial level (including provinces and centrally-run cities) and the grassroots level.
The meeting agreed to submit to competent authorities a plan that after the rearrangement, the number of provincial-level administrative units will be reduced by about 50% and the number of grassroots-level administrative units will be reduced by 60-70% compared to present.
Based on the analysis of principles and criteria, especially on the planned arrangement, names and administrative-political centers of provincial-level administrative units, the Party Secretary and Prime Minister requested that the arrangement of administrative units, in addition to the criteria on natural area and population size, consider criteria on history, tradition, culture, ethnicity, geographical conditions, socio-economic development level, infrastructure, etc.
In particular, the naming of provincial-level administrative units must be inheritable; the selection of administrative-political centers must consider historical, geographical, infrastructure connectivity, development space, defense, security and integration factors.
The Prime Minister emphasized the requirement for the arrangement and reorganization of administrative units at all levels to strengthen authority, further promote the self-reliance, autonomy and self-reliance of local levels; the government is closer to the people, more closely to the people, solving work for the people more conveniently; bringing more benefits to the people, making the people increasingly happy and prosperous; creating consensus among the people.
