For other province-level divisions, see Political divisions of China.

A province, in the context of China, is a translation of sheng (省 sheng), which is an administrative division of China. Provinces form part of the first level in the administrative structure of the People's Republic of China. Theoretically, provinces are also the first level division of the Republic of China on Taiwan, though this role has been greatly diminished.

The People's Republic of China currently administers 22 provinces, out of a total of 33 province level divisions, and claims a 23rd province, Taiwan Province. The Republic of China administers the entirety of Taiwan Province, as well as some offshore islands of Fujian province, and two municipalities ( Taipei and Kaohsiung).
