Brief Introduction of the Communist Party of China
(CPC officially claimes) |
|
The Communist Party of
China (CPC) was founded on July 1, 1921 in Shanghai,
China. After 28 years of struggle, the CPC finally won
victory of "new-democratic revolution" and founded the
People's Republic of China in 1949. The CPC is the
ruling party of mainland China (P.R. China).
The Communist Party of China is founded mainly on
ideology and politics. The CPC derives its ideas and
policies from the people's concentrated will and then
turns that will into State laws and decisions which are
passed by the National People's Congress of China
through the State's legal procedures. Theoretically, CPC
does not take the place of the government in the State's
leadership system. The Party conducts its activities
within the framework of the Constitution of the People's
Republic of China and the law and has no right to
transcend the Constitution and the law. All Party
members, like all citizens in the country, are equal
before the law.
The Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee
of the Communist Party of China, held in December 1978,
decided to shift the focus of the Party's work to
socialist modernization and set a policy of reform and
opening up to the outside world.
Any Chinese who has reached the age of 18, accepts the
Party's Program and Constitution and is willing to join
and work actively in one of the Party organizations,
carry out the Party's decisions and pay membership dues
regularly, may apply for membership of the CPC. Its
membership increased from 70 in 1921 to over 66 million
in 2002.
The highest leading body of the Party is the National
Congress and the Central Committee elected by it. The
National Congress of the Party is held once every five
years and convened by the Central Committee.
