7th Secretariat of the Chinese Communist Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 7th Secretariat, formally the Secretariat of the 7th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was elected by the 1st Plenary Session of the 7th Central Committee in 1945, in the aftermath of the 7th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It was preceded by the CCP's 6th Politburo Standing Committee and was succeeded by the 8th Politburo Standing Committee in 1956.

Despite its name, this institution is more akin to the present-day Politburo Standing Committee than the Secretariat.
