Provinces,
Autonomous Regions, Centrally Administered Municipalities and Special
Administrative Regions

regions*, 4 centrally administrative municipalities**
and 2
special administrative regions (SAR)***.
Notes
*

administrative division of China, like province, an autonomous
region has its won local government, but has more legislative
rights. Autonomous Region is a minority entity which has higher
population of a particular minority ethnic group.
**

municipality has the same political, economical and jurisdictional
rights as a province;
*** Special Administrative
Regions (SAR) was established specially designed for solving
Hong Kong and Macao issues and based on the concept of "one country,
two systems", SAR is in a pattern within which two completely
different social systems (socialist system and capitalist system) and
ideologies can coexist, SAR has more autonomous power regulated
clearly by laws, including executive, legislative and independent
judicial power.
**** Taiwan
Issue:
a result of China's civil
war in late 1940s'. In the earlier years of separation of mainland
China and Taiwan, both sides of China (also called People's Republic
of China "PRC" or "communist China", "red China" , "mainland China")
and Taiwan (also called Republic of China "ROC") claim the legal
sovereignty over China. Mainland China keeps claiming Taiwan as one of
its provinces while Taiwan regards itself as an independent country.)
