	Members are recursively grouped into party branches; higher-level party branches regulate lower-level branches.<ref>{{Web citation\|url=https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html~~\|title=Who Runs the CPC\|author=[[China Global Television Network]]~~}}</ref> ~~When a branch exceeds a manageable size, it becomes managed by a higher-level branch of the parent branch.~~		Members are recursively grouped into party branches; higher-level party branches regulate lower-level branches. When a branch exceeds a manageable size, it becomes managed by a higher-level branch of the parent branch. In June 2021, the CPC had 4.86 million grassroots organizations, 2,771 county organizations, 397 city organizations, and 31 province-level organizations.<ref name=":2">{{Web citation\|author=[[China Global Television Network]]\|title=Who Runs the CPC\|url=https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html}}</ref>

	~~For example,~~ party ~~(or grassroots)~~ branches with between 50 and 100 ~~members~~ are grouped into General Party ~~Branches~~. ~~General~~ Party ~~Branches regulate grassroots~~ branches.		=== Grassroots branches ===
			A party branch must have at least three members. Branches with eight to 50 members elect a Party Branch Committee with three to five members. Multiple small branches with a total of between 50 and 100 branches are grouped into a General Party Branch, which elects a committee to lead it. If there are between 100 and 500 total members, all members of the branches meet to elect a Primary Party Committee. Groups of branches with more than 500 members send delegates to a convention to elect the Primary Party Committee.<ref name=":2" />

	== List of ~~Leaders~~ ==		=== Local and regional levels ===
			Delegates from grassroots branches hold congresses at county, city, and provincial levels every five years. County congresses have 200 to 400 delegates, city congresses have 300 to 500, and provincial congresses have 400 to 800. These congresses elect party committees for provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, cities, prefectures, counties, and autonomous counties.<ref name=":2" />

			=== National level ===
			The CPC holds a National Congress once every five years and elects a Central Committee. Delegates from the National Congress come from 40 electoral units. 34 are based on regions and the other six are from the central government. The Central Committee elects a Politburo of 25 members and a Politburo Standing Committee of seven members, including the General Secretary.<ref name=":2" />

	In 2019, the breakdown is at least 66.14% working class/peasantry, 28.37% undefined class status, and 5.5% ~~entrepenurs~~ (the extra 0.01% comes from rounding the two halves of White Collar Management up by 0.005% each). Even if we put all of those from an undefined class status, still about two-thirds of the party are workers/peasants~~. The proportion is probably higher, though~~. If we put them as aligned with the working class the percentage would be 94.51%. But even if we were the least generous as possible then we’d still end up with over half the party members being of a working-class/peasant background, so no matter how you cut it, the CPC is primarily made up of workers and peasants.<ref name=":1" />		In 2019, the breakdown is at least 66.14% working class/peasantry, 28.37% undefined class status, and 5.5% capitalists (the extra 0.01% comes from rounding the two halves of White Collar Management up by 0.005% each).
