Chinese Communist Party Wants Bigger Role in Private Sector

China’s Communist Party is looking to strengthen its leadership and control of the country’s growing private sector and its employees by extending the work of the United Front further into the business community.

The party called on the United Front to improve the government’s leadership role in the nation’s private sector, according to guidelines issued by the General Office of the CPC’s Central Committee on Tuesday. The front is an umbrella organization that aims to increase the party’s influence and control both domestically and internationally.
