Its umbrella organization which includes the Young Pioneers of China, among other youth-focused groups.[3]: 19
The All-China Youth Federation also serves as a consultative body to the Communist Youth League.[3]: 19
History
[edit]The All-China Youth Foundation was originally named the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth.[3]: 18–19 It developed because the CCP determined that while it had the Young Communist League to focus on the development of youths deemed politically advanced, it needed a broader-based organization as well.[3]: 18–19 Consequently, it created the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, which held its first congress in 1949.[3]: 19
In 1958, the organization was renamed the All-China Youth Federation.[3]: 19
In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the All-China Youth Federation due to national security concerns.[5]
