The Princelings (Chinese: 太子党), also translated as the Party's Crown Princes or second generation officials (Chinese: 官二代), are the descendants of prominent and influential senior communist officials in the People's Republic of China. It is an informal, and often derogatory, categorization to signify those believed to be benefiting from nepotism and cronyism, by analogy with the crown prince (Chinese: taizi) in hereditary monarchies.
