The Jiusan Society (Chinese: 九三学社; pinyin: Jiǔsān Xuéshè; lit. 'Nine-Three Academic Society') is one of the eight minor political parties in the People's Republic of China under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party.

The party's original name was "Democracy and Science Forum" on its informal founding in 1944; the current name refers to the date of Chinese victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War (3 September 1945). its membership currently consists of high- and medium-level intellectuals in the fields of science, technology, and education. The Jiusan Society is the seventh-ranking minor party in China. It currently has 56 seats in the National People's Congress, 5 seats in the NPC Standing Committee and 45 seats in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Its current chairman is Wu Weihua.

History

[edit]

The party was originally founded informally in 1944 in Chongqing as the "Democracy and Science Forum". On 3 September 1945, after the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the organization was held an enlarged meeting to rename itself to the Jiusan Forum, referencing the date of victory. On 4 May 1946, it was renamed to the Jiusan Society.[1]

Organization

[edit]

The party's mission statement is to "lead the nation to power and the people to prosperity". According to its constitution, the Jiusan Society is officially committed to socialism with Chinese characteristics and upholding the leadership of the CCP.[2] The party's main focus is scientific and educational development. It is the seventh-ranking minor party in China.[3] The party is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[4][5]

The highest body of the Jiusan Society officially is the National Congress, which is held every five years. The 12th National Congress, held in December 2022, was the most recently held Party Congress.[2] As of 30 June 2023, the Jiusan Society has 30 province-level, 282 prefecture-level city, 29 county-level and 7,874 grassroot level organizations.[1] The party publishes the newspapers Democracy and Science (民主与科学)[6] and Central Communications of the Jiusan Society (九三中央社讯).[7][8]
