Communism in China
Communist Party (CCP),[20] is the founding and sole governing political party of
the People's Republic of China (PRC). The CCP leads eight other legally permitted
subordinate minor parties together as the United Front. The CCP was founded in
1921, with the help of the Far Eastern Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and Far Eastern Secretariat of the Communist International under Lenin.[21]
[22] The party grew quickly, and by 1949 it had driven the Kuomintang (KMT)'s
Nationalist Government from mainland China to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War,
leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949.
It controls the country's armed forces, the People's Liberation Army (PLA). It is
also one of the two major historical contemporary parties in Chinese history, the
other being the Kuomintang.
