Banner (Inner Mongolia)
A banner (, as "khoshun" in Mongolian) is an administrative division of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China, equivalent to a county-level administrative division.

Sum (administrative Division)
A sum is the lowest level of administrative division used in China, Mongolia, and Russia. The word ''sum'' is a direct translation of the Manchu word ''niru'', meaning ‘arrow’.

This system was acted in the 1980s after the Chinese Communist Party gained power in conjunction with their growing internal and external problems. The decentralisation of government included restructuring of organisational methods, reduction of roles in rural government and creation of sums. Mongolia A sum (, , ) is the second level administrative division below the ''aimags'' (provinces), roughly comparable to a county in the United States. There are 331 sums in Mongolia.
