Political Science Clique (Chinese: 政學系), also known as the New Political Science Clique or the Department of Political Science, was a faction within the Kuomintang led by Zhang Qun. The faction consisted of various diplomats, bankers, bureaucrats, and scholars of the Republic of China. The clique represented the interests of the Chinese gentry and landowner class. It was also composed of the moderate and liberal wing of the Kuomintang who were committed to following Sun Yat-sen and the Three Principles of the People.
