Communist Party of China

The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the ruling political party in China, founded in 1921. It advocates for socialism and Marxist-Leninist principles, aiming to create a classless society. The CPC has significant control over the government, military, and media, and it leads China's economic policies. Since the late 1970s, the party has introduced market reforms that have spurred rapid economic growth while maintaining strict political control. The CPC emphasizes national unity, stability, and development, positioning itself as the steward of China's progress on the global stage.
