The residents' committee[1], shortened as juweihui or juwei in Chinese,[2] also translated as neighborhood committee,[3] residents' association,[4] residential committee,[5] is a grassroots mass autonomous organization[6] for self-management, self-education and self-service for residents in Mainland China.[7]
The status of a residents' committee is equivalent to that of a villagers' committee in the countryside, both of which do not belong to the state organs.[8]
On 23 October 1949, the representatives of the residents of Shangyangshi Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, elected the first residents' committee of the People's Republic of China, the Shangyangshi Street Residents' Committee.[9]
