China s ruling Communist Party had only 50 members when it was founded in 1921 by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao.
Both Chen and Li studied Marxism in Japan, and were among the Chinese intellectuals with communist ideas that were influential in the 1919 student protests known as the May Fourth Movement.
The party they founded has since grown to become the second-largest in the world ― after the Bharatiya Janata Party, one of India s two major political parties - with almost 92 million members.
