Communist Youth League
On the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China is the vanguard, the Communist Youth League is the commando team, and the Young Pioneers are the reserve team. Joining the team, joining the league, and joining the party are the "trilogy of life" for young people to pursue political progress.
Chinese youths over the age of 14 and under the age of 28, who recognize the constitution of the group, are willing to join an organization of the group and actively work in it, implement the resolutions of the group and pay the group fee on time, can apply to join the Communist Party of China Youth League. Members who have reached the age of 28 and have not held positions in the group should go through the formalities of leaving the group. Members who join the Communist Party still retain their membership. If they reach the age of 28 and do not hold positions in the regiment, they will no longer retain their membership.
The Chinese Communist Youth League is a group organization of advanced youth led by the Communist Party of China, a school where the majority of young people learn socialism and communism with Chinese characteristics in practice, and an assistant and reserve army of the Communist Party of China.
The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. The Chinese Communist Youth League resolutely supports the program of the Communist Party of China, and takes Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as guidelines for action
The Communist Youth League of China (CYLC) is a large organization that recruits and trains future members and officials for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The CYLC is not a separate force from the CCP. The CYLC is officially defined as a "reserve force" for the CCP. During the Xi-era, the CYLC's rule that non-cadre over the age of 28 must leave the organization has been more strictly enforced. By the end of 2002, there were approximately 210,000 committee members of fundamental organizations. 2021 estimates put the number of Youth League members at over 81 million, though in 2022 it waw estimated that the CYLC had 73.58 million members.
The Youth League Faction, or Tuanpai, is an informal political faction in the CCP. It includes cadres and government officials who originated from the Communist Youth League. The CYLC was once an incubator for the country's future political elites. However, Chinese President Xi Jinping effectively crushed the influence of the once-powerful Youth League faction. The proliferation of leaders with a Youth League background has led to the informal name "Tuanpai" (abbreviation for "Youth League faction") being used to describe certain members of the leadership at different times. The first "Youth League faction" was represented by Hu Yaobang. The second "Youth League faction" is represented by Hu Jintao.
The CYL's membership has dropped from around 90 million to about 74 million since 2012. The CYL's budget has also been cut from nearly 700 million yuan ($96 million) in 2012 to about 260 million yuan in 2021.
In May 1920, with the help of the Communist International delegation, Chen Duxiu formed the secret group "Marxism Research Society", and in August established the early organization of the Shanghai Communist Party. Chen Duxiu absorbed the experience of the international communist movement. When planning to form the Communist Party, he advocated organizing a socialist youth league to become the reserve army of the Communist Party of China and a communist preparatory school. Therefore, after the establishment of the early party organization in Shanghai, Chen Duxiu appointed Yu Xiusong, the youngest member, to prepare for the establishment of the Socialist Youth League.
In July 1921, the Communist Party of China held its first National Congress, announcing its formal establishment. The party's "big one" studied the establishment and development of socialist youth leagues in various places as the party's preparatory schools, and decided on the method of absorbing outstanding league members into the party. After the "big one", the central and local party organizations sent a large number of party members to carry out the work of the regiment. From May 5th to May 10th, 1922, the First National Congress of the Chinese Socialist Youth League was held in Guangzhou Dongyuan.
