The leading group composed of county-level cadres includes county-level (director-level) leaders such as county party secretary, county magistrate, director of county people's congress standing committee and county magistrate CPPCC, and deputy county-level (deputy-level) leaders such as county party secretary, county party committee standing committee, deputy director of county people's congress standing committee and vice chairman CPPCC.

County-level leading bodies are usually held by county party secretaries, county heads and other county leaders, who are responsible for the county's administrative management and economic and social development. At the same time, the county-level leadership team will also be equipped with a certain number of deputy county-level leaders as needed to assist county-level leaders in their work. County-level leading bodies are the core forces of county-level political power, and bear important responsibilities such as promoting local economic and social development and maintaining social stability.
