The XI Jinping regime announced last week that the China Communist Party (CCP) reached 100 million members, as pointed out in an official report with accumulated data until December 2024.
Contrary to what appears to mean party affiliation, the Chinese are not behind the candidacy for ideological reasons, but to ensure some stability in the public sector, while the economy of the Asian giant navigates turbulent waters in recent years.
The personal and economic reasons that lead to the decision to enter public life – with the possibility of political gains – is a source of influence for the XI dictatorship that seeks to – or opinion – strong in the midst of the geopolitical turnaround with the return of Donald Trump and its external calendar in the US presidency. The official data released by the party counted about 21.4 million CCP candidates by the end of December.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)China’s ruling party promoted recent purges of authorities due to increased corruption or lack of integrity in public events. In recent years, the Xi Jinping regime has “disappears” several leaders of important positions.
The rise to positions that generate stability is not exclusive to communist party affiliates. However, members of the CCP are the ones who are most likely to take up the high -level positions of companies and public departments, and keep stronger social connections to the authorities.
A study by European researchers Matteo Targa and Li Yang, quoted by WSJ, It points out that the families of Chinese joining the party of dictator XI have enjoyed a series of privileges, such as preferential access to housing in the early stages of urban real estate privatization and faster accumulation of wealth through capital gains.
In China, members of the Communist Party assume prominent roles in different areas of society, including companies that are required to maintain ties with the regime. These places range from Beijing government agencies at the district level, in the management and supervision of state companies, in unions linked to the regime, even in departments that oversee religious practice.
Despite the benefits linked to party affiliation to the CCP, the one who earns the most with the entry of new members is dictator XI, who strongly controls the party’s guidelines and can, through it, shape society behaviors, exchanging money and stability for power and influence.
