What are the procedures for the appointment letter of the executive vice mayor?

Appointed directly by the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC).

The executive vice mayor is subordinate to the people's government, not a party-mass position, so the executive vice mayor is elected and appointed by the people's congress of the city where he is located. The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee shall be approved by the provincial party committee or municipal party committee at a higher level, and the meeting shall be held in the local party committee. Executive vice mayor and deputy secretary of municipal party committee are generally peers.

In the municipal party Committee, the executive vice mayor generally serves as the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee where the executive vice mayor works is smaller than the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
