Official data shows the Party had over 100 million members in 2024. But what do young Chinese people think about the Party today? CGTN spoke with Beijing university students to find out.
TAN SIWEI School of Journalism and Communication, Renmin University of China "I think there are many factors that make the CPC appealing to young people, such as its vitality, inclusiveness, and the ability to keep up with the times. Take my hometown Chongqing as an example, it's transformed from a traditional mountain city into a hub of technology and innovation. This kind of change not only reflects our party's forward-looking mindset, but also offer great opportunities for young people to grow and shine."
ZHAO PEIHAN School of Economics, Renmin University of China "As a new CPC member, I'm most inspired by its poverty alleviation achievements and infrastructure-driven development strategy."
CHEN JUNXI School of Traffic and Transportation Beijing Jiaotong University "During the pandemic, I witnessed countless Party members selflessly serving on the frontlines. The CPC's life-first commitment deeply moved and inspired me. Also, it does what it says. The CPC's commitment to common prosperity reflects its noble ideals. Through concrete actions like rural revitalization and poverty alleviation, the Party has tangibly improved people's livelihoods."
XU HUAZE School of International Studies, Renmin University of China "Common prosperity, from my perspective, means meritocracy backed by systematic fairness. The CPC turns this vision into roads, schools, and hospitals, proving that growth and equity are not mutually exclusive."
LI WENNA School of Public Administration and Policy, Renmin University of China "The Party demonstrates strong policy integration, from digital governance to grassroots modernization. What truly resonates are the service-oriented Party members around us, whose dedication reflects its mobilizing power."
"Growing up in Dongguan, China's manufacturing hub, I saw local businesses like handbag factories go global and key infrastructure projects such as Gaobu Bridge, connect my hometown to the world. These transformations under the Party's leadership strengthened my trust in it."
