The Chinese Communist Party

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is China's ruling political organization, founded in 1921, that governs the country through centralized authority. It promotes a socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics and maintains control over government, military, media, and society. The CCP directs economic policies, political priorities, and social development, aiming to maintain stability and expand China's global influence. While it claims to serve the people, its leadership is highly centralized, with decisions made by top officials. The party's governance has transformed China into a major world power, balancing authoritarian control with economic reform.
