The Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission (CPLC) (Chinese: 中共中央政法委员会), commonly referred to as Zhongyang Zhengfawei (中央政法委, literally "Central Poli-Legal Commission") in Chinese, is the organization under the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) responsible for "political and legal affairs". Based on the principles of Leninism and democratic centralism, the organization acts as the overseer and coordinator of all legal enforcement authorities, including the Ministries of State Security, Public Security and Justice, as well as the Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate.[1] All provincial, municipal, county and autonomous region CCP committees have their own political and legal affairs commissions.
The CPLC functions as "the general chief of staff of the party committees, and represents the party in overseeing the country’s intelligence, law enforcement, judicial, and to a lesser extent, lawmaking systems".[1] The CPLC maintains effective control over the court system and its personnel.[2] The CPLC ensures that courts implement CCP policies and vets law enforcement officers for political reliability.[3][4] It is the "organizational linchpin of the Chinese surveillance state," according to Minxin Pei.[5]: 94 Its control of China's justice system has been especially useful and important for the CCP since the beginning of Chinese economic reform, because the CPLC has acted, through judges and prosecutors, to seize the assets and imprison those businesspeople who were becoming economically powerful enough to acquire a base independent from that of the party.[1]
The commission is headed by a secretary who is usually a CCP Politburo member.
