The essential requirement of united front work is great unity and great alliance.
The establishment of a specialized united front work organization by the Communist Party of China began after the formation of the Anti-Japanese National United Front. In December 1937, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to organize a delegation of the Communist Party of China to Wuhan, the Kuomintang-controlled area, to be responsible for contact and negotiation with the Kuomintang. This was the earliest united front organization. Since then, some Central dispatched offices of the Communist Party of China and certain provincial committees have successively established United Front Work Departments.
The "Decision on the Provisional Organizational Structure of Party Committees at All Levels" passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1938 stipulated that a United Front Work Department should be established under party committees at all levels above the district committee.
