Foreign-funded companies and private firms have set up Party organizations to address appeals by their employees, said Wang Jingqing, vice-minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, at a press conference held on Friday in Beijing.

Wang made the statements at the media center of the ongoing 18th National Congress of the CPC.

About 983,000 non-State companies — including about 47,000 foreign-funded firms on the mainland — have already established Party organizations, Wang said.

Party organizations help the companies to keep abreast of the latest national policies, and to improve capital-labor relationships, he added.
