Politburo of the Central Committee

The Politburo of the Central Committee is a top decision-making body within a communist or socialist political system, such as China or the former Soviet Union. It consists of a small group of leaders who set policies, prioritize issues, and direct the country's political and economic agenda. Members are typically the most influential and powerful officials, chosen from the broader Communist Party hierarchy. The Politburo operates under the guidance of the Central Committee, making it a central authority for governance, strategic planning, and maintaining party discipline.
