The Social Work Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party is an agency under the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in charge of "social work".
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] On 8 July 2023, Wu Hansheng was appointed as the first head of the Department.[2]
The department oversees 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 additionally handles public petitions and grievances, and has a "unified leadership" over the National Public Complaints and Proposals Administration.[3] [4]
