Definition
共产党 is the Chinese term for the Communist Party, and in ordinary Chinese discourse it almost always refers specifically to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP/CPC), the ruling party of the People's Republic of China since 1949. You'll encounter it in historical, political, and news contexts. When used without a country modifier, it carries the full institutional weight of the CCP — its founding, its role in the Chinese Revolution, and its current governance. The word is a compound: 共 (common) + 产 (produce) + 党 (party).
n.
