## History

In 1921, the first CCP organizations in Shandong were established in Jinan. In July 1922, the Jinan Branch of the CCP was established, with Wang Jinmei as its secretary. On 6 October 1923, the Jinan Local Executive Committee of the CCP was established, with Wang as its chairman. In July 1924, the CCP Zibo Branch was established. In February 1925, CCP representatives from Jinan, Qingdao, Zhangdian, Zichuan and other places held a joint meeting in Jinan to establish the CCP Shandong Local Executive Committee. In October 1926, with the approval of the CCP Central Committee, the Shandong District Executive Committee was established with Wu Fang as secretary. On 13 June 1927, the Central Committee established the Shandong Provincial Committee, keeping Wu Fang as the secretary.
In January 1929, the Provincial CCP Committee was weakened due to a defector leading to the arrests of many committee members by the Nationalist government. In July 1933, the Provincial Committee was completely destroyed, losing contact with the CCP Central Committee. Some Party organizations were restored in 1934, including with the establishment of the Jinan Municipal Committee in May. In 1935, the Shandong Provincial Working Committee was established with Liu Zhongying as its secretary. On 1 May 1936, the Provincial Party Committee was reestablished. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Shandong Provincial Committee aided war efforts. In May 1938, the Shandong Provincial Committee was expanded into the Shandong-Henan-Anhui Border Region Provincial Committee; its name was changed to the CCP Shandong Branch in December 1938.
On 13 August 1945, the Shandong Provincial Government was established. In December 1945, the Shandong Branch was merged into the newly established CCP East China Bureau. On 20 March 1949, the Shandong Branch was reestablished. In August 1954, the Shandong Provincial Committee was formally established.
