<Tr> <Th> Romanization </Th> <Td> Dulimbai gurun - i (Jungg'o - i) Gungcan Hoki </Td> </Tr> <P> The Communist Party of China (CPC), also referred to as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is the founding and ruling political party of the People's Republic of China . The Communist Party is the sole governing party of China, permitting only eight other, subordinated parties to co-exist, those making up the United Front . It was founded in 1921, chiefly by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao . The party grew quickly and by 1949 it had driven the nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) government from mainland China after the Chinese Civil War, thus leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China . It also controls the world's largest armed forces, the People's Liberation Army . </P> <P> The CPC is, officially, organized on the basis of democratic centralism, a principle conceived by Russian Marxist theoretician Vladimir Lenin which entails democratic and open discussion on policy on the condition of unity in upholding the agreed upon policies . The highest body of the CPC is the National Congress, convened every fifth year . When the National Congress is not in session, the Central Committee is the highest body, but since the body meets normally only once a year most duties and responsibilities are vested in the Politburo and its Standing Committee . The party's leader holds the offices of General Secretary (responsible for civilian party duties), Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) (responsible for military affairs) and State President (a largely ceremonial position). Through these posts the party leader is the country's paramount leader . The current paramount leader is Xi Jinping who was elected at the 19th National Congress held in October 2017 . </P> <P> The CPC is committed to communism and continues to participate in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties each year . According to the party constitution, the CPC adheres to Marxism--Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, socialism with Chinese characteristics, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era . The official explanation for China's economic reforms is that the country is in the primary stage of socialism, a developmental stage similar to the capitalist mode of production . The command economy established under Mao Zedong was replaced by the socialist market economy, the current economic system, on the basis that "Practice is the Sole Criterion for the Truth". </P>
