Definition
中间派 is a political term meaning 'centrist faction' or 'middle ground' — a group that avoids taking extreme positions. Historically it referred to the 'third force' between the CCP and KMT during the Chinese Civil War, and in modern contexts it describes moderate voters or parties that don't align with either end of the political spectrum.
