Party group

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 enterprises by the CCP.^[4] The concept of party group was first formalized in the 1945 party constitution during the 7th National Congress.^[5]
