    The CPC has over nine million members

    95 million members actually, and around 110 mllion in its youth wing. So about one in seven chinese.

      That’s actually a stupid argument. There’s no alternative party. Belonging to CPC helps with being promoted in public service.

      (I’m not arguing with anything else, just questioning this argument)

          :D

          And if any of them was legally allowed to take over the government from CCP, that would be true. However they are not, and in the CCPCC charter they are defined to be more like… subservient lobby groups?

            “There aren’t any other parties”

            “Yes there are”

            “Uhhh well they don’t count”

            Anything to avoid admitting you’re wrong, eh?

              If you check their charters and what they are allowed to do, then no, they are not parties. Party would be equal to CCP, those are subservient. If you don’t understand that distinction, then we have nothing to talk about.
