Chinese Communist Party Celebrates 105 Years, Traces History of Transformation

Kathmandu. The Chinese Communist Party (CPC) has completed 105 years since its establishment. Born out of fierce war, sacrifice, and martyrdom, the CPC was founded on July 1, 1921. After 77 years in power, emerging from the ashes of world and civil wars, China has become a major global superpower. By the end of December 2024, the total membership of the CPC reached 102,710,000, including 30,995,000 female members.

The period from the party's inception until 1950 was spent in intense internal and external struggles. Approximately 20 million people lost their lives during the Sino-Japanese War, which lasted from 1935 to 1945. In that war, under the leadership of paramount leader Mao Zedong, they had to fight simultaneously against external imperialist and internal feudal forces.
