Tsotanhui Clique (Chinese: 座談會派系), also known as the New Politics Club (Chinese: 新政俱樂部), the Chen Cheng Clique (Chinese: 陳誠系), or the Tuanpai (Chinese: 團派), was a faction within the Kuomintang led by Chen Cheng. The clique was primarily composed of military officers and political instructors drawn from the Three Principles of the People Youth League , the Whampoa Military Academy, and the Blue Shirts Society, all of whom were loyal to Chen Cheng.[1][2][3][4]
After the Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan, the Tsotanhui Clique replaced the declining CC Clique as the most powerful faction within the party. However, with the rise of Chiang Ching-kuo, the faction gradually weakened and eventually lost its influence.[5][6]
