History

In August 1921, the CCP set up the CCP Beijing Local Committee ; in July 1922, it was renamed as the CCP Beijing Local Executive Committee ; in July 1923, it was reorganized as the CCP Beijing District Executive Committee and Beijing Local Executive Committee ; in October 1925, it was changed to the CCP Northern District Executive Committee.
In April 1927, the organs of the Northern District Executive Committee were sabotaged by Zhang Zuolin's military and police, and leaders of the Northern District Executive Committee such as Li Dazhao, Fan Hongjie, and Yang Jingshan were arrested together with some Kuomintang members and later hanged. In May, the 5th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was convened, and the establishment of the District Executive Committee was withdrawn, and CCP provincial committees were set up in various places. In July of the same year, the CCP Beijing Committee was established.
In June 1928, the city of Beijing was renamed Beiping, and the CCP Beiping Committee was reorganized. After the July 7 Incident, the invading Japanese army took control of Beiping, and the CCP Beiping Committee was reorganized, with Huang Jing as the secretary and Li Changqing, Liu Jie, Liu Shenzhi, and Ge Chen as its members. In 1938, Wang Dingnan became the secretary of the Beiping Special Committee, and the local organization of the CCP in Beiping was destroyed and had to be withdrawn after the arrest of Wang by the Japanese Special Higher Police and the Kempeitai in June 1942. Onwards, there were no CCP organizations in the city of Beiping.
In September 1944, the Urban Work Department of CCP Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau directly led the Party work in Beiping, with Liu Ren and Liu Shenzhi in charge of the daily work. In September 1945, after the Japanese surrendered, the CCP re-established the CCP Beiping City Committee. Liu Ren was the secretary, Wu Guang was the deputy secretary and organization minister, Zhou Xiaozhou was the publicity minister, and Gan Chunlei was the military minister.
At the end of 1948, during the Pingjin Campaign, the CCP began preparations to take over the city of Beiping. The CCP Central Committee and the CCP North China Central Bureau decided to form the Party, political and military leadership in Beiping. On December 13, the Central Military Commission appointed Nie Rongzhen as the garrison commander of Pingjin District and Bo Yibo as a political commissar. The CCP Central Committee appointed Peng Zhen as the secretary of the CCP Beiping Municipal Committee and Ye Jianying as the first deputy secretary of the CCP Beiping Municipal Committee, with Ye Jianying concurrently serving as the director of the Beiping Military Management Committee and the mayor of Beiping. On December 17, the CCP Beiping Municipal Committee convened its first meeting in Baoding, discussing the organizational structure of the PMC, its nominees, a number of specific tasks, and discipline of the staff who entered the city. That night, the Beiping Municipal Committee personnel departed from Baoding and arrived at Zhuo County in the early hours of December 18. On December 24, Ye Jianying made a report announcing that the takeover of the suburbs of Beiping had begun and preparations were being made for the later takeover of the urban areas of Beiping.
In late January 1949, the CCP took control of Beiping, and on September 27, the city was renamed Beijing Municipality, from which the Beiping Municipal Committee was renamed as Beijing Municipal Committee. In April 1967, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the Municipal People's Congress were abolished, and the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee was established, along with the core group of the CCP Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee.
In March 1971, the CCP Beijing Municipal Committee was re-established, and in August 1984, the Beijing Municipal Committee ceased to have a First Secretary and was replaced by a Secretary and Deputy Secretary.
In 2015, government officials finalized plans to move the offices of several political organizations, including the Municipal Committee, from the city's downtown to the Tongzhou District. In 2019, the Municipal Committee, along with the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, the Municipal People's Government and the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, finished moving its offices to Tongzhou.
