The Central Case Examination Group (CCEG) was a special organization established in the People's Republic of China in 1966 under the aegis of the Politburo Standing Committee to persecute those accused of "anti-party activities". It was compared by Wang Li to the Soviet Cheka, but he noted that the CCEG had even broader powers. (Schoenhals, 1996). Its members included nearly all of the members of the Cultural Revolution Group, with which the CCEG worked closely during its investigations.
