What is Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party?
The '''Central Politburo of the Communist Party of China''' is a group of 25 people who oversee the [[Communist Party of China]]. It is formally called the '''Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee'''. It was previously called the '''Central Bureau''' ({{lang|zh|中央局}}) before 1927. Unlike [[politburo]]s (political bureaus) of other [[Communist party|Communist parties]], power within the politburo is centralized in the [[Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China|Politburo Standing Committee]]. The members of the Politburo are nominally elected by the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of China|Central Committee]]. The power of the Politburo is mostly due to the fact that its members generally also hold positions within the government of the [[People's Republic of China]]. It also appoints people to high-ranking jobs. The topics for discussion at the meetings appears to be controlled by the [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of China|General Secretary]]. Decisions are made by [[consensus]] rather than by majority vote. {{politics-stub}} [[Category:Political organizations in the People's Republic of China]]
