One organization has two brands , also known as a set of people and two brands.

It is an organizational structure of the People's Republic of China. According to the explanation from the Office of the Central Institutional Establishment Committee , "an organization refers to a legal representative , a financial account, a leadership team and a team. The so-called two brands mean that the organization has two names, with different names according to work needs. Use the corresponding name externally."

The form of two brands for an organization is mainly divided into two types: " Additional brand " and " External brand retention ". The corresponding organizations that have been withdrawn are called " listed organizations " and " retained brand organizations " respectively. When an institution is revoked and converted into a listed institution (a brand-retaining institution), the institution is no longer a legally independent entity and can only use the name referred to by the "brand" independently under certain conditions. Therefore, the merged institution's independent agency legal person status in civil law and independent administrative subject status in administrative law were completely lost, and its legal personality was absorbed by the corresponding functional departments.
