CPC Membership Inspires Private Joint-Venture Employees
Hu Bianjiang, a promising young employee from Zhejiang Geely Car Corporation, expects to be a member of Communist Party of China (CPC) in two months.
The 23-year-old said that private enterprises also need moral strength, which can be gained when he is a CPC member.
Over 80 CPC members out of 1,300 employees in Geely hold the same opinion. They said that being a CPC member can promote personal development as well as team spirit.
On July 1, when China celebrated the 80th founding anniversary of CPC, Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said that private entrepreneurs and employees of foreign-funded companies have contributed to the country. If qualified, they can become CPC members.
"This is a new action in the new century which shows that CPC members can come from different classes of the society," said Kenneth Hsu, spokesman for Ford Motor in China.
He said that CPC members represent advanced productivity in state-owned companies as well as in private and foreign companies.
For the third time in four years, 63-year-old Manfred Brocke, a German expert working in First Automobile Works of China, applied for membership in the CPC.
When he saw 18,000 CPC members in the company were working hard, he said he realized that the CPC is the backbone of the country. The CPC can lead China to achieve remarkable success in fostering economic growth, he said.
Dong Suhua is an employee of Citroen Company. A 13-year member of the CPC, he said that CPC promotes the welfare of the people.
He added that he was proud to be a CPC member in the foreign- funded company. Recently a group of party members were organized to view an exhibition at the China Millennium Monument.
Both central and local party schools have offered courses to employees from non-public ownership companies. Students can learn CPC policy, the trend of economic development, and the rules of the World Trade Organization.
Many world-famous automobile companies have opened factories or appointed representatives in China so as to take a bigger market share as well as promote China's car industry.
China has named the automobile industry as the pillar industry in the new century. The thriving industry is a symbol of China's reform and opening-up policy.
