{{Main|Politics of Zhejiang|List of current Chinese provincial leaders}}
The politics of Zhejiang is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China. The [[Governor of Zhejiang]] is the highest-ranking official in the [[Zhejiang Provincial People's Government|People's Government of Zhejiang]]. However, in the province's dual party-government governing system, the Governor is subordinate to the [[Party Secretary of Zhejiang|secretary]] of the [[Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party]].

Several political figures who served as Zhejiang's top political office of Party Secretary have played key roles in various events in PRC history. [[Tan Zhenlin]] (term 1949–1952), the inaugural Party Secretary, was one of the leading voices against Mao's [[Cultural Revolution]] during the so-called [[February Countercurrent]] of 1967. [[Jiang Hua]] (term 1956–1968), was the "chief justice" on the Special Court in the case against the [[Gang of Four]] in 1980. Three provincial Party Secretaries since the 1990s have gone onto prominence at the national level. They include CPC General Secretary and President [[Xi Jinping]] (term 2002–2007), [[National People's Congress]] Chairman and former Vice-Premier [[Zhang Dejiang]] (term 1998–2002), and [[Zhao Hongzhu]] (term 2007–2012), the Deputy Secretary of the [[Central Commission for Discipline Inspection]], China's top anti-corruption body. Of Zhejiang's fourteen Party Secretaries since 1949, none were native to the province.

Zhejiang was home to [[Chiang Kai-shek]] and many high-ranking officials in the [[Kuomintang]], who fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing the Civil War.
