Yeah, from what I’ve heard, China has much more localized government and policies than people in the West think, and local government catches flak from people regularly.
So they have a system where towns are appointed a mayor who gets changed out every 5 years. The mayor is then graded on things like education, economy, popularity, and how many veggies the village ate.
The purpose of this is to prevent local fiefdoms from developing and to quickly identify and remove underperforming leaders.
This has the effect of people appealing to the provincial government to either keep or remove candidates who are exceptionally good or bad.
