History

The All-China Youth Foundation was originally named the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth.[4]:18–19 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.[4]:18–19 Consequently, it created the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, which held its first congress in 1949.[4]:19 In 1958, the organization was renamed the All-China Youth Federation.[4]:19

In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the All-China Youth Federation due to national security concerns.[5]
