Definition
政党 (zhèng dǎng) is a noun meaning 'political party' — an organized group with shared political goals. It is distinct from 政治 (zhèng zhì, 'politics'), which is the broader concept of political affairs, and from 党 (dǎng), which can mean 'party' but also refers to a historical faction or clique. 两翼 (liǎng yì) refers to 'both wings' of a party or organization, not the party itself.
