The Socialist Party of China (Chinese: 中国社会主义党; Zhōngguó Shèhuì Zhǔyì Dǎng) is a left-wing to centre-left socialist political party in China founded by former CCP members Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao in 1992. It is the fourth-largest political party in China after Kuomintang (KMT), Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Minkuotang (MKT). The youth organisation of the party is the League of Young Socialists.
The SPC can trace its origins to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which was established in 1921, led by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, is the direct ancestor of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP and CPC) and is the party that seized power in China and was victorious in the Chinese Civil War in 1949. After the CCP was banned in 1991 by then–Chinese President Wei Jingsheng in the aftermath of the failed September coup attempt, the SPC was founded at the First Congress of Chinese Communists and Socialists on 20 January 1992 as the successor organisation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The party's stated goal is to establish a new, modernized form of democratic socialism in China. Immediate goals of the party include the nationalization of natural resources, agriculture and large industries within the framework of a mixed economy with predominate Socialist relations of production that allows for the growth of small and medium enterprises in the private/non-state sector.
