Tuanpai (simplified Chinese: 团派; traditional Chinese: 團派; pinyin: Tuánpài; lit. 'League Faction'), is a term used by political observers to represent cadres and government officials in the Communist Party of China who originated from the Communist Youth League. The term is also used to represent Hu Jintao and his group of populist associates and other political allies. Tuanpai was first mentioned during Hu Yaobang's time, when Hu Yaobang was criticized for over-reliance of cadres of Tuanpai background.

Characteristics

Political analyst Cheng Li of Brookings Institution divides the Communist Party power structure in two distinct "coalitions" - one of "Populists" and the other of "Elitists". Elitists are classified as those who originate mostly in China's rich coastal provinces, notably Shanghai, or those who have a family background of high-ranking Communist Party officials (i.e. the Princelings). Tuanpai, on the other hand, belongs to the "Populist" faction, consisting of officials who has relatively humble backgrounds and who have climbed through the power structure from the grassroots. While the Elitists are more concerned with economic growth and market functionality, the Populists are more focused on societal harmony and decreasing inequality. Cheng places Tuanpai at the core of the Populist coalition. Tuanpai's members usually have higher education qualifications, normally they all have university degrees or higher.
