The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (Chinese: 中国共产党中央委员会组织部; pinyin: Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng Zhōngyāng Wěiyuánhuì Zǔzhībù) is a human resource management department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that controls staffing positions within the CCP.
The Organization Department is one of the most important organs of the CCP. It forms the institutional heart of the Leninist party system.[1] It controls the more than 70 million party personnel assignments throughout the national system,[2] and compiles detailed and confidential reports on future potential leaders of the CCP.[1] The department is known for its highly secretive nature; state media outlet China News Service stated it "always wears a mysterious veil" and historically interacted little with the public or press.[3]
Because the People's Republic of China is a one-party state, the CCP Organization Department has an enormous amount of control over state personnel. The Organization Department is indispensable to the CCP's power, and the key to its hold over personnel throughout every level of government and industry.[4] It is one of the key agencies of the Central Committee, along with the Central Propaganda Department, United Front Work Department and International Liaison Department.
