According to People’s Daily, in a report on January 24, 2010, the CCP Central Organization Department had recently decided to allocate 66.95 million yuan from collected CCP membership fees to sustain the poor as well as the old CCP members without pensions. Last year, the CCP Central Organization Department allocated 21.9 million yuan from membership fees to express sympathy to Party members in the 18 provinces that had serious natural disasters and also to repair the damaged Party member educational facilities in the same areas.
The CCP Central Organization Department stressed that letting the Party members feel the real concern and warmth of the Party is an important measure to effectively maintain stability.
