The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference abbreviated CPPCC, is a political advisory body in the People's Republic of China. The organization consists of delegates from a range of political parties and organizations, as well as independent members, in China. The proportion of representation of the various parties is determined by established convention, negotiated between the parties.
In practice, the largest and dominant party in the Conference is the Communist Party of China. Other members are drawn from the United Front parties allied with the CPC, and from independent members who are not members of any party.
The United Front in the People's Republic of China is a nominally popular front led by the Communist Party of China. It is managed by the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee and besides the communist party it consists of eight minor parties. Its current department head is Du Qinglin.
The United Front is represented together with other mass organizations such trade unions, women's and youth organizations, minorities etc. in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The United Front holds no real power independent of the CCP. It serves a merely symbolic function and its leaders are mostly selected by the Communist Party of China or are themselves CCP members.
