People's Organizations

People's Organizations

People's organizations are like bridges and bonds that link the CPC and the Chinese government with the people. They are an important force in modernizing China's governance system and capacity. Their close ties with the people are their basic feature, and serving the people is their duty.

The people's organizations are a part of the cause of the Party. Relevant work is routine in the Party's governance, which is also an effective instrument for the Party to organize and mobilize the general public to fulfill its central task. Throughout China's history of revolution, development, and reform, the trade unions, Communist Youth League organizations, women's federations, and other people's organizations have played an active role under the CPC leadership and made significant contributions to the cause of the Party and the people.

By November 2022, there were 22 people's organizations recognized by the State Commission Office for Public Sector Reform. They were:
