B) 6
C) 7
D) 8

Answer 1

Hint: The Communist Party of China (CPC), also known as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is the People's Republic of China's founding and sole ruling political party (PRC). The CCP was created in 1921, mostly by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, with the support of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Far Eastern Bureau and the Communist International's Far Eastern Secretariat.

Complete answer:
Officially, the CCP is committed to communism and attends every year's International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties. The CCP follows Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, socialism with Chinese characteristics, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought, according to the party constitution.

The Chinese Communist Party wields ultimate power in China. The Communist Party has ruled the People's Republic of China since 1949. A total of eight minor parties are affiliated with the Communist Party. Non-Communist parties responded to the CPC's call for a Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) by attending the CPPCC's First Plenary Session in September 1949, alongside the CPC and other democratic figures, at which the Common Program was adopted as the provisional constitution and the Central People's Government was elected and established.

The Communist Party of Australia, the Workers Party of Bangladesh, the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) (Barua), the Communist Party of Sri Lanka, the Workers' Party of Belgium, the Hungarian Workers' Party, the Dominican Workers' Party, and the Party for the Transformation of Honduras are the names of eight other minor parties affiliated with China's communist party.

There are 8 other parties in China which are allied to the communist party. Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: China's Communist Party (CPC) was founded in July 1921 and now boasts over 60 million members. The CPC led the Chinese people in difficult campaigns from 1921 to 1949, culminating in the downfall of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat-capitalism with the founding of the PRC.
