The China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPNR) is an umbrella organization, founded in 1988, by the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to promote unification between mainland China and Taiwan on terms defined solely by the People's Republic of China.[1][2] Unification is couched in a one country, two systems framework, though critics categorize it as annexation.[3] According to scholar Anne-Marie Brady, in addition to promoting unification, "the organization also engages in a range of activities which support Chinese foreign policy goals, including block-voting and fund-raising for ethnic Chinese political candidates who agree to support their organization's agenda."[4] The main council oversees over 200 chapters in multiple countries.

The group holds an annual Overseas Chinese World Conference for Promoting Peaceful Reunification of China. This event has been held in multiple countries and is coordinated by local councils and other front organizations linked to the United Front Work Department.[1][5] The council is currently presided by Wang Huning, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, with UFWD director Shi Taifeng as its executive vice president.
