The Mainland Affairs Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang is a directly subordinate unit of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, responsible for the Kuomintang's work related to mainland China. The current director is Chang Ya -ping.
The Central Mainland Affairs Department of the Kuomintang was originally the Sixth Group of the Central Reform Committee of the Kuomintang. After the 7th National Congress, it was reorganized into the Second Group of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and the Sixth Group of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. It was the unit of the Kuomintang responsible for coordinating the dispatch behind enemy lines and intelligence gathering after the defeat of the Kuomintang in the Chinese Civil War. The directors of the Second Group were Zheng Jiemin, Ye Xiangzhi, Zhang Yanyuan, and Ye Xiangzhi. The directors of the Sixth Group were Zhang Yanyuan, Chen Jianzhong, and Xu Qinglan.[1][2] In 1972, the Second Middle Group and the Sixth Middle Group were merged and reorganized into the Mainland Work Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. Its duties were to guide, organize and assist the organization, training, propaganda, civil mobilization and Chinese Communist Party research and psychological warfare and political warfare work of various levels of party organizations in the mainland. It had a secretariat, eight studios and a telecommunications station.[3]
In 1997, due to changes in the domestic and international situation, the Central Mainland Affairs Council was reorganized into the Mainland Research Council, which is a policy coordination department responsible for the formulation of mainland policies and the analysis of the mainland situation. After Kuomintang lost the 2000 presidential election, the party headquarters underwent another reorganization. The Mainland Studies Working Group was downsized into the Mainland Affairs Department of the Policy Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang under the Central Policy Committee, and later changed to the Mainland Affairs Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang directly under the Central Committee.[4]
