The Communist-Party-of-China<\/a><\/h1>

The Communist-Party-of-China<\/a> (CPC) is the founding and sole ruling political party of the People-s-Republic-of-China<\/a>. Founded in Shanghai<\/a> in 1921, the party was initially a small revolutionary group influenced by the October-Revolution<\/a> in Russia. Over several decades, it grew into a formidable force under the leadership of Mao-Zedong<\/a>, eventually winning the Chinese-Civil-War<\/a> against the Kuomintang<\/a>. According to historical records from Britannica<\/a>, the party has overseen the most significant economic transformation in human history.<\/p>

In the modern era, the Communist-Party-of-China<\/a> is led by the General-Secretary<\/a>, Xi-Jinping<\/a>, who also serves as the President of the People-s-Republic-of-China<\/a>. The party's governance is structured around the National-Congress-of-the-Communist-Party-of-China<\/a> and the Central-Committee<\/a>. High-level policy decisions are made by the Politburo-Standing-Committee<\/a>. The Council on Foreign Relations<\/a> notes that the party's influence permeates every level of Chinese society, from government offices to private corporations.<\/p>

The official ideology of the party is Marxism-Leninism<\/a> combined with Mao-Zedong-Thought<\/a> and Socialism-with-Chinese-Characteristics<\/a>. Recent additions to the party constitution include Xi-Jinping-Thought<\/a>. The party maintains strict control over the People-s-Liberation-Army<\/a> and the national media. With a membership exceeding 98 million people, it is one of the largest political organizations in existence, as reported by BBC News<\/a>.<\/p>
