CPC has 89.45 million members and grassroots Party units have increased to 4.52 million, according to a communique published ahead of the 96th anniversary of CPC's founding on July 1.
The growth rate of CPC membership has dropped while the structure of its members has improved since 2013 when the Party implemented a recruitment rule which stressed the quality of members while limiting the quantity.
