The Gexin movement or Ko-hsin movement (simplified Chinese: 党政革新运动; traditional Chinese: 黨政革新運動; pinyin: Dǎng zhèng géxīn yùndòng; lit. 'Party and Government Innovation Movement') was a political faction formed in 1944 within China's Kuomintang party. Composed largely of members of the CC Clique and Whampoa group, the movement's members opposed what they viewed as bureaucratic tendences and corruption within the KMT and sought to purge the party. By August 1947, the Gexin movement ceased to be an effective political force.
