The Communist Party of China (CPC) comprised workers and some farmers when it was formed in 1921 in Shanghai. But a majority of the members of the eight democratic parties, founded mostly during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) and the War of Liberation (1945-49), were professionals, industrialists and intellectuals.
