The Foreign Affairs Leading Small Group of the Communist Party of China (FALSG) ((Simplified Chinese: 中央外事工作领导小组, Pinyin: Zhōngyāng Wàishì Gōngzuò Lǐngdǎo Xiǎozǔ) also known as the Leading Group on Foreign Affairs is a leading small group of the Communist Party of China that exercises supervision on foreign affairs. It is currently chaired by Hu Jintao and contains several senior members of the Chinese leadership.
The FALSG became much more important in the 1990s as the Chinese leadership became much more institutionalized and less focused on personalistic factions.
