The Party Reform Program (Chinese: 中國國民黨改造方案; Wade–Giles: Chung1kuo2 Kuo2min2tang3 kai3tsao4 fang1an4; lit. 'Kuomintang Reform Program') was a party modernization campaign led by Chiang Kai-shek from 1950 to 1952, aimed at addressing the corruption, power-brokering, and factional struggles that had plagued the Kuomintang, which were seen as significant factors in the party's defeat in the Chinese Civil War. The program, based on Leninism, sought to reaffirm the KMT's adherence to democratic centralism, ideological purity, and the principle of party leadership over the state,[1][2][3][4][5] while isolating the influence of the CC Clique. This reform laid the groundwork for the dominance of Chen Cheng's Tsotanhui Clique and eventually facilitated Chiang Ching-kuo's succession.[6]
The reform was overseen by the Central Reform Committee, which established one office, seven departments, and five committees. Central Reform Committee were often regarded as Taiwan's "Supreme Cabinet" during the reform.[7]
