Princelings
Many sons and daughters of senior prominent and influential Chinese communists of second half of the twentieth century were given offices with or without regard to their ability. These young people are collectively referred to as the "Crown Prince Party" (太子党 tai4 zi3 dang3). Some of them, however, do actually have ability. This is only an informal categorization, however, and not a political party.
