In 2016, the CPC recruited 1.911 million new members, 54,000 less than 2015. “Under the CPC’s leadership and endeavours of the generations of party members, China’s progress in social development has made the party an example to all and the world looks forward to its contribution to global governance,” the Xinhua report said.
