Jiusan Society

The Jiusan Society (Chinese: 九三学社; pinyin: Jiǔsān Xuéshè; lit. 'Nine-Three Academic Society') is one of the eight legally recognised minor political parties in the People's Republic of China that follow the direction of the Communist Party of China and are members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[6][7] The party's original name was "Democracy and Science Forum" on its informal founding in 1944; the current name refers to the date of Chinese victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War (3 September 1945).[8]

The party had a membership of 167,218[4] members by June 2016,[9] mostly high- and medium-level intellectuals in the fields of science, technology, education, culture, and medicine.
