"The party’s efforts to place itself inside private companies have been, according to its own figures, very successful. One recent survey by the Central Organisation Department, the party’s personnel body, found that 68% of China’s private companies had party bodies by 2016, and 70% of foreign enterprises. Although these figures sound high, they don’t match the targets the party has set for itself. In Xi’s old stamping ground of Zhejiang, for example, officials set a target in August 2018 to have cells inside 95% of private businesses. There was a need, the survey said, to retain the revolutionary spirit inside the companies as their ownership was handed on to the next generation."[0]

Using western propaganda to strengthen a western propaganda point.

There are lots of communist party members in lots of organisations. Just like there are lots of republicans in organisations.

But the premise that you are trying to support is: ccp “controls” all the companies. Not: ccp membership can be found in lots of companies.

“For us small businesses, we have no choice but to follow the party,” says Li Jun, a 50-year-old owner of a fish-farming business in the eastern Jiangsu province. “Even so, we’re not benefiting at all from government policies.” [0]

You are now referring to regulation. Not direct party influence of companies. This is the same as Californian companies complaining they have to follow strict environmental regulations: we have no choice.

Keep the strawmen coming.
