What does the community neighborhood committee do?

Neighborhood committees are grass-roots mass self-governing organizations for residents' self-management, self-education and self-service.

According to Article 2 of the Organic Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) Urban Residents Committee:

Residents' committees are grass-roots mass self-governing organizations for residents' self-management, self-education and self-service. The people's governments of cities not divided into districts or municipal districts or their agencies shall give guidance, support and help to the work of residents' committees. Residents' committees shall assist the people's governments of cities not divided into districts or municipal districts or their agencies in their work.

Therefore, residents' committees are grass-roots mass autonomous organizations, not state administrative organs. Under the authorization, it can perform some administrative functions of managing social public affairs.

The chairman, vice-chairmen and members of the residents' committee are elected by the residents. The relationship between residents' committees and grass-roots political power is stipulated by law. In other words, although community neighborhood committees play an important role in the management of grass-roots society, they are not first-level governments or government agencies, but grass-roots mass autonomous organizations.
