Tips

register

PRC political vocabulary. In Chinese governance, 群众团体 traditionally refers to Party-affiliated bodies that connect specific social groups to the state — 工会 (trade unions), 共青团 (Communist Youth League), 妇联 (Women's Federation), etc. Closer to 'mass organization' than to a Western NGO.
