The Communist Party of China

The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the ruling political party of China, founded in 1921, and guided by Marxist-Leninist principles. It seeks to maintain control over the government, economy, and society, emphasizing centralized leadership to achieve national stability and development. The CPC oversees policy-making, economic planning, and social initiatives, aiming for progress under a socialist framework with Chinese characteristics. It maintains a single-party system, meaning political power resides primarily within the CPC, shaping China's modern trajectory through strategic governance and economic reforms.
