There is a wider 25 member Party Politburo, called simply the Politburo, consisting of provincial heads and others that meets irregularly, typically every 4 to six weeks. Under the principles of [[Democratic Socialism]], the Standing Committee members also serve as "equals" on the regular party Politburo. The party Politburo functions as more than just an advisory body; it's briefed on decisions made by the Standing Committee to carry out in local districts, and is where recruits for the Standing Committee are drawn from to fill vacancies on the Standing Committee in the CCP hierarchy. | There is a wider 25 member Party Politburo, called simply the Politburo, consisting of provincial heads and others that meets irregularly, typically every 4 to six weeks.
