China Youth Corps used to be very much a quasi-governmental, quasi-political organization with close ties to the Kuomintang regime similar to the Communist Youth League (a youth movement of the People's Republic of China), but since 1989 officially severed ties with the Kuomintang regime.
The China Youth Corps (; 'China Youth National Salvation Corps'; until 2000: ; 'China Youth Anti-Communist National Salvation Corps'), often known simply as CYC (), is a youth organization in the Republic of China. The Communist Youth League of China, also known as the Young Communist League of China or simply the Communist Youth League, is a youth movement of the People's Republic of China for youth between the ages of fourteen and twenty-eight, run by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). On 28 August 1989 the CYC became a non-governmental organization, thereby officially severing its ties with the Kuomintang regime; nonetheless many Taiwanese today still regard the CYC's senior management as being supportive towards the Pan-Blue Coalition.
