The Political Consultative Conference (PCC) is a key advisory body in the political system of China. Formed in 1949, it serves to facilitate dialogue among various political parties and organizations, promoting consensus on national policies and issues. The PCC plays a significant role in the Chinese Communist Party's governance, providing a platform for non-Communist parties and other groups to express their views. The PCC meets annually, typically alongside the National People's Congress, to discuss and recommend policies. Its members include representatives from different political parties, social organizations, and various sectors of society, reflecting a broad spectrum of interests and perspectives within the country.
