For over a century, the Chinese Communist Youth League has stood at the heart of the Chinese party-state’s efforts to mobilize, educate, and engage Chinese youth. Marking the League’s centenary in 2022, this volume offers a fresh, interdisciplinary assessment of its complex historical trajectory, its changing relationships with successive generations of young people, and its continued relevance as the world’s largest youth political organization. Emphasizing the agency of youth themselves, the contributors move beyond portrayals of official youth organizations as simple instruments of party-state control, revealing instead a dynamic process of negotiation, participation, and political engagement.
