The Communist Party of China (CPC) had over 91.9 million members and nearly 4.7 million primary-level organizations by December 2019, said Fu Xingguo, deputy head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, in Beijing on March 23.

"The primary-level Party organizations lay the foundation for the CPC's governance," said Fu, "They are the foundation of the CPC's work and its capacity to take on challenges."

In tackling major challenges including pandemic control, poverty alleviation, and flood control and relief, Party organizations at various levels have become pillars of strength and Party members across the nation have played the role of spearheading the Party's policies, Fu noted.
