From 1990 to 2003, the Communist Party of China (CPC) gained about 125,000 new members on campus in Beijing including 107,000 student members, according to information from a recent Party conference in Beijing.

The sources indicate more college students and teachers are joining the Party. About half of all teachers and 40 percent of teachers younger than 35 are Party members.

About seven percent of undergraduates and 30 percent of graduate students are Party members.

Beijing is home to many institutes of higher education and it was important to expand the influence of the Party on campus, Zhu Shanlu, standing committee member of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee, told the conference.

Party organizations should work actively and carefully to absorb more young students and teachers, Zhu said.

From 2007, Party members will account for 12 percent of undergraduates and 35 percent of postgraduates. Also, 45 percent of teachers under 35 will be Party members, according to Zhu.
