Harvard has maintained close, formal relationships directly with 
CCP entities, including the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CCP (中国共产党中央委员会组织部 or 中共中央组织部 for short), which is responsible for the regimented training program centered on “Xi Jinping Thought” provided to Party elites and controls the placement of CCP members in key leadership positions. Harvard has also been cultivating ties with elite CCP members.
Harvard Kennedy School hosts a formal partnership with the Chinese Executive Leadership Academy Pudong (CELAP), which is controlled by the CCP Organization Department. Under that partnership, rising CCP elites who are being prepared for senior Communist Party leadership positions participate in training at Harvard in the US.
Some of these relationships have been in place for at least a decade. In 2016, a high-ranking member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences stated that Chinese “party and government cadres” participate in “education and training” run by the CCP Organization Department. The Chinese government “sends some cadres abroad” to “the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.”

“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the US.”
For decades, the CCP has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive
