Political Positions of Communist China

*Note on Deng- with Lin's death in 1971, the role of First Vice Premier went over to Chen Yi as he was highest ranking Vice Premier that was not purged at the time. With his death in 1972, the next Vice Premier was Li Fuchun. Deng would not be restored until 1974. However, he was purged again in 1976 and rehabilitated in 1977. For simplicity the period 1971-1980 is just Deng.
NPCSC is the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress
The color grey represents people who held their position only before 1949
Red/Yellow both represent the first generation and Pink represents the fifth generation
