General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Sino-Soviet Union

The General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Sino-Soviet Union (Russian: Генеральный секретарь Коммунистической партии Советского Союза), Mandarin: 中蘇共產黨總書記) is the de-facto head of government of the Sino-Soviet Union as well as the official leader of the Communist Party of the Sino-Soviet Union. The General Secretary is closed by an election held first by the National Assembly and later by the Central Committee of the Communist Party during the final stages of the election which is done around the same time as the election of the Premier of the Sino-Soviet Union.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Sino-Soviet Union, the General Secretary is the official leader of the Communist Party and shares executive power alongside the Premier, who's the head of state. Originally, the two offices had the same holder, but it was undone by Leonid Brezhnev as part of his reforms in 1972. As of 1991 as a result of the reforms by Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary manages all aspects and the internal affairs of the communist party and ensures the ideological loyalty of its members, including the premier, and can be impeached if the Central Committee finds him un-loyal to the revolution.

Xi Jinping has been the current General Secretary since May 9th, 2012 after the election was held that year and has worked alongside Vladimir Putin after he became Premier. While Xi has officially stated that he will ensure Putin's loyalty to the party, critics have accused such a reason as an excuse on Xi's inactions against Putin and other accusations of corruption and abuse within the office of both the premier and the general secretary.
