Democratic centralism (Chinese: 民主集權制; pinyin: mínzhǔ jíquánzhì; Wade–Giles: min²chu³ chi²chʻüan²chih⁴; lit. 'democratic collect-authority system') is a main principle of Leninist vanguard parties, but it was also closely related to the party organization and rule of the Chinese nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) in the Republic of China. However, unlike the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the KMT did not include "democratic centralism" in its party constitution.
