The head of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party is the leader of the United Front Work Department (UFWD), a department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The head of the United Front Work Department has generally served as the first-ranking vice chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Though not required by law, the UFWD head also serves as the executive vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification.[1]

The current head of the United Front Work Department is Shi Taifeng, who is also a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party.

List of heads

[edit]

During two periods the United Front Work Department was without a leader, from 1966 to 1975 during the Cultural Revolution and from the end of 1989 until 22 November 1990 following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. The UFWD has had two female heads, Liu Yandong (2002–2007) and Sun Chunlan (2014–2017).[2]
