The People's Congress of Hainan Province (Chinese: 海南省人民代表大会, abbreviated as Hainan Provincial People's Congress) is the provincial-level people's congress and the highest organ of state power in Hainan Province, People's Republic of China. Its standing body is the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hainan Province.
History
After the founding of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949, according to the Common Program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, local people's representative conferences were temporarily replaced by local people's representative meetings, which exercised the powers of local people's congresses.[1]
In September 1950, the First People's Representative Conference of All Circles in Hainan convened its first meeting in Fucheng, Qiongshan, electing the Consultative Committee of the People's Representative Conference of All Circles in Hainan. In January 1953, the Central People's Government (1949–1954) adopted a resolution to convene people's congresses at all levels through direct and indirect elections. As an administrative region of Guangdong Province, Hainan elected deputies from the Li and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hainan and various cities and counties to attend the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress. During the Cultural Revolution, the people's congress system was disrupted and replaced by the revolutionary committees that exercised governmental authority.[2]
In January 1984, with the approval of the CCP Guangdong Provincial Committee, a preparatory group for the Hainan Administrative Region People's Congress was established, headed by Zhao Guangju. In May 1984, the Hainan Administrative Office was abolished and replaced by the People's Government of Hainan Administrative Region, a provincial-level government organ. In June 1988, the preparatory group reported that conditions were not yet ready to establish a provincial people's congress, and thus the People's Representative Conference of Hainan Province was convened to exercise the powers of the provincial congress.[3]
In August 1988, the First People's Representative Conference of Hainan Province was held in Haikou, electing a 32-member Standing Committee. In January 1993, the First Session of the First People's Congress of Hainan Province convened in Haikou,[4] marking the official establishment of the People's Congress of Hainan Province.[5]
Organization

The presidium is elected at each session of the congress to preside over meetings and oversee procedural matters.
Special Committees
As of the 5th People's Congress, Hainan established two special committees: the Legal Affairs Committee and the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee. During the 2nd Session of the 6th People's Congress, the Social Development Committee was added.[6]
Standing Committee
The Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hainan Province is the standing body of the People's Congress of Hainan Province. During the intervals between the plenary sessions of the People's Congress, it exercises the powers of the People's Congress of Hainan Province on its behalf. The similar institution at the same level is the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which serves as a consultative body.[7]
