China’s Communist Party on track for 100 million members by year’s end

Membership of the Chinese Communist Party reached 99 million in 2023 and is on track to reach 100 million by the end of 2024. But the rate of growth continues to slow, according to the latest official tally by the party’s Central Organisation Department. In line with tradition, the data was released on the eve of July 1 celebrations marking the party’s founding in 1921.
