History

The department was established in March 2023 under CCP general secretary Xi Jinping after wide-ranging reforms to change the Party and state structure.[1]

Function

The department will oversee the interactions of the CCP with civic groups, chambers of commerce and industry groups, as well as party-building work in mixed-ownership and non-public enterprises. It will additionally handle public petitions and grievances, and will have a "unified leadership" over the National Public Complaints and Proposals Administration.[2][3]
