Office of the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party
The Office of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party often referred to as the General Secretary's Office (总书记办公室) is a bureau whose staff is assigned to work directly under, and closely with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s General Secretary.The director of the Office of the General Secretary and the staff under him are considered to be Mishus, or trusted confidants responsible for maintaining the private information and correspondence of the party's leader.In spite of this distinction, Cai Qi, the incumbent head of the Office of the General Secretary, is concurrently also head of the CCP Central Committee General Office and CCP Politburo Standing Committee member.The earlier position of Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party did not have formal staff responsible for supporting only their work specifically.In spite of this arrangement, the office of the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was not yet formally established.
