 The
Communist Party of China (CPC) was founded on July 1, 1921. It is the ruling
party in China, representing the interests of the entire Chinese nation
and serving as the core of leadership over the socialist undertakings of
China.After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the CPC
led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to overcome various difficulties,
transforming China from a poor and backward semi-colonial and semi-feudal
country into a socialist state with initial prosperity. The CPC mainly exercises ideological and political leadership. It derives
its ideas and policies from the people's concentrated will and then transforms
them into state laws and decisions that are adopted by the NPC. But the
CPC does not take the place of the government in the state leadership
system. It conducts activities within the framework of the Constitution
and laws, which it has no right to transcend. All CPC members, like other
citizens in the country, are equal before the law. Currently, the CPC has more than 67 million members. Renmin Ribao
(People's Daily) is the organ of the CPC Central Committee, and Qiushi
(Seeking Truth) is its theoretical publication.
