Source-derived summary

The Office of the Central Integrated Military and Civilian Development Commission is the administrative agency of the Central Integrated Military and Civilian Development Commission, a policy formulation body of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

History

After the promulgation of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China in 1954, the national system of the People's Republic of China gradually improved. In January 1955, Soviet adviser Bankov proposed the establishment of a "Military Economic Planning Bureau" in the State Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "State Planning Commission"), which was adopted by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. In November 1955, the State Planning Commission organized a delegation to visit the Soviet Union for more than a month to study the construction of national economic mobilization. From then on, the comprehensive establishment of the national defense mobilization system of the People's Republic of China began. According to the suggestions of the inspection team and the needs of mobilization work, the State Planning Commission submitted to the State Council the "Report on the Establishment of Economic Mobilization Planning Organization" and the "Report on the Mobilization Organizations of Relevant Departments and the Preparation of Long-term Plans for Mobilization Work". After the State Council approved it, the government's economic departments quickly established special mobilization organizations from top to bottom.

In 1956, the State Planning Commission established the National Economic Mobilization Bureau of the State Planning Commission, which was responsible for accepting the needs of the army in economic mobilization, formulating long-term plans for the growth of mobilization capabilities and annual plans for wartime mobilization, determining national reserves and mobilization reserves, coordinating mobilization work in the economic field, and providing work guidance to the mobilization bureaus (departments) of the ministries and commissions under the State Council. At the same time, the State Economic Commission established the Economic Mobilization Planning Inspection Office, which was responsible for inspecting the progress of production preparations and capital construction for mobilization tasks in peacetime. In July of the same year, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications both established mobilization bureaus; the First Ministry of Machine Building, the Second Ministry of Machine Building, the Ministry of Metallurgy, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Textiles, and the Ministry of Electric Motor Manufacturing all set up mobilization offices under the Planning Department; the Ministry of Chemical Industry, the Ministry of Coal, the Ministry of Petroleum, and the Ministry of Electronics set up full-time cadres in the relevant departments to be responsible for economic mobilization management; each department of the second-level ministry set up a mobilization planning office (section), and most military industrial enterprises set up a mobilization planning section.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “chinese Communist Party body” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q109345135. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1954, 1955 and 1956.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
