The Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC, Chinese: 中国人民对外友好协会 or Chinese: 对外友协 in short) is one of the three major foreign affairs organizations of the People's Republic of China. Its stated aim is to promote friendship and mutual understanding between the Chinese people and foreign nations but observers have pointed out that it functions as a proxy organization coordinated by the United Front Work Department used to covertly influence elites to promote the interests of the Communist Party of China.
