Abstract: In this research, we examine the institutions of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) and its political role from a historical perspective. By studying the ACFIC’s leadership, governing structure, and the activities of its affiliated business chambers and members, we argue that the ACFIC has evolved beyond its original mechanism as a component of the united front work and played an increasingly important role in the Party-state’s economic governance. Consequent to this development, nowadays the ACFIC has become a formal channel for private enterprises to articulate their collective interests and influence the national policy-making process.
