Communist Party of China (CPC)

The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the ruling political party of the People's Republic of China. Founded in 1921, it has governed mainland China since 1949. The CPC operates under a system of democratic centralism and adheres to Marxist-Leninist ideology with Chinese characteristics. Recent news highlights the CPC's ongoing interest in Taiwan. Ten Taiwanese individuals, including active military personnel, have been indicted for espionage activities allegedly benefiting Beijing, including filming allegiance videos and leaking confidential information. Simultaneously, the CPC has announced measures to strengthen ties with Taiwan, including resuming direct flights, easing trade restrictions, and establishing new connections. This follows a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Taiwanese opposition leader Cheng Li-wun. These developments underscore the CPC's multifaceted approach to Taiwan, combining pressure and outreach in pursuit of its long-term goal of unification.
