The number of party organizations, unions and party and union members in private enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises has increased. Some party organizations and people's unions in enterprises have demonstrated their roles and positions, contributing positively to the stability and development of enterprises.

However, the work of building the Party and mass organizations in private enterprises and enterprises with foreign investment capital still has many limitations. Some Party committees and organizations have not fully and deeply grasped the requirements and contents of the Project. Leadership and direction are not regular, strict and synchronous; the establishment of new Party organizations, admission of Party members, union members and association members in enterprises is still low, not meeting the Project's targets.

In general, the role of party organizations in enterprises is still vague, the content and methods of operation are still confusing, not meeting the requirements and tasks of Party and mass organization building in the new situation; the number of enterprises without party and mass organizations is still very large.
