A party group[n 1] (Chinese: 党组; pinyin: dǎngzǔ) is a formal group within an organization that works to ensure democratic centralism as led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Party groups ensure the control of formally non-CCP public institutions like government organizations, people's organizations, people's congresses, and state-owned business corporations by the CCP.[4] The concept of party group was first formalized in the 1945 party constitution during the 7th National Congress.[5]

Example

The party's Organization Department controlled the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security through an eleven-member party group as of 2010.[2]

Usage outside of the Chinese Communist Party

Party groups were organized within the short-lived Workers' Party of North Korea.[6]
