The party had its origins in the collapse of theFirst United Front when they first met in November 1927. Its original members were left-wingKuomintang members and expelled Communists which called themselves the "Provisional Action Committee of the Kuomintang" or "Third Party" (despite the name, theYoung China Party was third largest in the late 1920s–40s).[citation needed]
The party was officially founded in theShanghai French Concession on 9 August 1930,[1] leading it to become a cohesive entity underDeng Yanda, who organized it underdemocratic centralism like both the Nationalists and Communists. Deng was secretly executed byChiang Kai-shek in 1931 and the party went underground.[citation needed]
In 1933, the party, now led byHuang Qixiang, joined with the short-lived "Productive People's Party" in starting the failedPeople's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China. In 1935, they renamed themselves in to the "Chinese Action Committee for National Liberation". It was one of the founding parties of theChina Democratic League. Its leaders renamed the party in February 1947 to its current name.[citation needed]
According to its constitution, the CPWDP is officially committed tosocialism with Chinese characteristics and upholding the leadership of the CCP.[1] It is the fifth-ranking minordemocratic party in China.[2]
The highest body of the CPWDP officially is the National Congress, which is held every five years. The 17th National Congress, held in December 2022, was the most recently held Party Congress. The National Congress elects the Central Committee of the CPWDP.[1] In June 2022, the party had organizations in 30province-level administrative divisions throughout China.[3] The CPWDP publishes the newspapersQianjin Luntan ("Forum For Advancement")[4] andMedicine & Health Care Daily.[5]
The CPWDP is made up of members who mostly work in the fields ofpublic health, medicine, and associated fields in science and technology.[6] As of June 2022[update], it has a membership of 192,000.[3]
The leader of the Party is officially called the Chairperson of the Central Committee of the Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party. Between 9 August 1930 and 10 November 1935, the office was known as the Secretary-General of the Central Executive Committee of the Provisional Action Committee of the Kuomintang, which changed to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Chinese National Liberation Action Committee on 10 November 1935, which changed to the General Contact Person of the Central Provisional Executive Committee of the Chinese National Liberation Action Committee in March 1938, which again changed and assumed its current name on 3 February 1947.[citation needed]
