The Chinese Communist Party, or the CPC, is the sole political party of China. Founded in 1921, the party fought against the Kuomintang, eventually pushing them out of mainland China and onto Taiwan. The party structure was destroyed during The Cultural Revolution and subsequently rebuilt, as "communism with Chinese characteristics," by Deng Xiaoping after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. It was at this time that the party adopted a blended economic and political system that embraced elements of Marxism and free-market capitalism while at the same time maintaining authoritative political domination. The party has been widely criticized for its human rights record, censorship of the internet and media and, as illustrated most recently by protests in Tibet, its "one China policy."
