List of national leaders of the People's Republic of China
National leaders is the generic version of "Party and State Leaders" (党和国家领导人), a political jargon used by official documents and by official media in China, referring to specific senior officials of the People's Republic of China. The range of Party and State Leaders are prescribed by the national civil servant system. Only officials holding the rank of "chief positions at the state level" (正国級) or "deputy positions at the state level" (副国級) (colloquially in some western media, "National leaders" and "Sub-national leaders") are considered Party and State Leaders.
