Abstract
Through nearly a century of the history of the Chinese Communist Party, the party’s policies concerning religion and religious social movements have shifted many times. Especially when it comes to Buddhist social movements, such as secret societies, village self-protection units, and philanthropic organizations, which have always had an important role to play in modern Chinese political history, the CCP has often changed their standpoint and policies towards these groups. This is because the similar multicultural characteristics between the CCP and these groups could make them political allies and enemies at the same time.
