TheRevolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (RCCK; also commonly known, especially when referenced historically, as theLeft Kuomintang orLeft Guomindang), commonly abbreviated in Chinese asMinge (民革), is one of the eight minordemocratic parties in thePeople's Republic of China under the direction of theChinese Communist Party.
It was founded in January 1948, during the height of theChinese Civil War, by members of the left-wing of theKuomintang (KMT), especially those who were againstChiang Kai-shek's policies. The first chairman of the party was GeneralLi Jishen, a senior Nationalist military commander who had many disputes with Chiang over the years, whileSoong Ching-ling (the widow ofSun Yat-sen) was named Honorary Chairwoman. Other early leading members wereWang Kunlun,Cheng Qian,He Xiangning andTao Zhiyue. The party claims to be the true heir ofSun Yat-sen's legacy and hisThree Principles of the People. In December 2022, the party had around 158,000 members. Its membership mostly consists of people with historical ties to the KMT and Taiwan.
Among the official political parties of the People's Republic of China, the Revolutionary Committee is officially ranked second after the CCP, being the first-ranking minor party. It also owns numerous assets, some formerly owned by the Kuomintang, throughout mainland China. The Revolutionary Committee operates a range of party-owned institutions, such as party schools.[citation needed] The RCCK currently has 41 seats in theNational People's Congress, six seats in theNPC Standing Committee and 65 seats in theChinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Its current chairman isZheng Jianbang.
After the end ofWorld War II, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the CCP, who had allied to fight the Japanese, became increasingly tense; ultimately, both sides restarted thecivil war, which World War II had interrupted. In 1945 and 1946, members of the Kuomintang's left formed the Three Principles of the People Confederation of Comrades and the Kuomintang Democratic Promotion Association in Chongqing and Guangzhou, respectively.[citation needed]
In November 1947, the first joint representative meeting of the Kuomintang left was held inHong Kong; on 1 January 1948, the meeting announced the official establishment of the "Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee", and nominatedSoong Ching-ling, the widow of Sun Yat-sen, as the Honorary Chairwoman of the Revolutionary Committee (despite Soong Ching-ling never formally joining the commission).[1][2][3]
ChairmanLi Jishen,He Xiangning, andFeng Yuxiang were selected as the central leadership of the organization.[4][non-primary source needed] In 1949, Li Jishen and other representatives of the RCCK were invited by the CCP to participate inChinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[1]
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in October 1949, members of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee maintained positions in the municipal and central governments.[4][non-primary source needed]
In November 1949, the second congress of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee was held in Beijing. At the second congress, the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, Chinese Nationalist Democratic Promotion Association, the Comrades of the Three Peoples Principles, and other members of the Kuomintang's left wing agreed to merge and form the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang.[4][non-primary source needed]
Soong Ching-ling served as theVice Chairwoman of the People's Republic of China and HonoraryChairwoman of the People's Republic of China. Li Jishen served as Vice Chairman of theCentral People's Government and Vice Chairman of theCentral Military Commission.[citation needed]
Today, the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang focuses on improving relations with the Kuomintang onTaiwan, and its membership mainly consists of the descendants of Kuomintang revolutionaries.[4][5][better source needed] It recruits members with current ties to Taiwan who supportChinese unification.[6]

The RCCK is one of the eight minor so-called "democratic parties" under the leadership of the CCP.[7] The highest body of the RCCK officially is the National Congress, which is held every five years. The 14th National Congress, held in December 2022, was the most recently held party congress.[8] The National Congress elects the Central Committee of the RCCK.[citation needed]
According to its constitution, the RCCK is officially committed tosocialism with Chinese characteristics and upholding the leadership of the CCP.[9][10] Among the official political parties of the PRC, the RCCK is officially ranked second after the CCP, being the first-ranking minor party.[11]
The Central Committee of the RCCK is the highest body of the RCCK between National Congresses. It has six working departments:[12]
The Central Committee additionally owns the newspapersUnity Daily (团结报;Tuánjié Bào) andUnity (团结;Tuánjié).[13] The Central Committee is headed by a chairperson, who is assisted by several vice chairpersons. The current leaders of the RCCK are:[citation needed]
According to theState Council Information Office, the RCCK consists "mainly of people who have links with the KMT, have historical and social connections with the committee, or have relationships with Taiwan compatriots, along with specialists in social and legal affairs, and in business relating to agriculture, rural areas, and rural people".[14] In December 2022, the party had around 158,000 members.[15]
