"Mr Xi oversees the party and its 92 million members — that might sound huge compared to Australia’s population of 25 million, but it is less than 7 per cent of China’s 1.4 billion people."

Honestly, that article has some shit "play with your emotions!" bits in it too but there are facts to be gleaned.

Its actually much less innocent than it looks like. Add an additional 100-150M for Communist Youth, a subsidiary organization and 150-250M for Mao Judend, a subsidiary for kids. Its called totalitarianism for a reason.

Over 90% of the population of China are CPC non-members (membership numbers I can find are consistently under 100 million).

100% are subject to rule by the Communist Party of China, though.
