Co-located office
Co-located office (Chinese: 合署办公; pinyin: Hé shǔ bàngōng) is a form of organizational structure within the administrative system of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the government of the People's Republic of China. It involves two CCP and government agencies with different organizational structures and responsibilities working in the same location due to similar work objectives, nature of their work, or other reasons. The personnel and resources of both agencies can be flexibly utilized as needed under the unified command and dispatch of a higher authority; however, the leadership teams and staff of the two agencies may not completely overlap. The difference between a co-located office and "one institution with two names" is that under co-located office operation, the two agencies maintain their independent legal person status.
