The villagers' committee[1] (simplified Chinese: 村民委员会; traditional Chinese: 村民委員會; pinyin: cūnmín wěiyuánhuì), shortened as cunweihui in Chinese,[2] also translated as village committee,[3] is a grassroots mass autonomous organization[4] for self-management, self-education and self-service for villagers in mainland China.[5] It adopts democratic elections, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision.[6] It is based on the Organic Law of Village Committees of the People's Republic of China.
The villagers' committee was previously known as the production brigade,[7] and was an important part of the system of people's commune.[8]
A villagers' committee shall be responsible and reports to the Villagers' Assembly or the Assembly of Villagers' Representatives.[9] And the committee is composed of 3 to 7 members, including a director, vice-director and members.[10] The status of a villagers' committee is equivalent to that of a residents' committee in cities, both of which do not belong to the state organs.[11]
In February 1980, the first villagers' committee in mainland China was formed in Hezhai Village, Sancha Commune, Yishan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.[12]
