What does it mean that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is directly under the management of the People's Bank of the State Council and China?
There are many bureaus directly under the State Council: State Administration for Industry and Commerce, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, etc. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange is also directly under the State Council, but from the administrative level, the heads of the Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Taxation Bureau are directly responsible to Premier the State Council, and they are ministerial; The director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange concurrently serves as the deputy governor of the People's Bank of China and is responsible to the governor of the People's Bank of China. That is to say, it is half a grid lower than other directly affiliated bureaus in the State Council.
