History

The All-China Youth Foundation was originally named the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth. 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. Consequently, it created the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, which held its first congress in 1949. In 1958, the organization was renamed the All-China Youth Federation. In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the All-China Youth Federation due to national security concerns.
