What does “active members” mean? That number seems kind of low for a country of 1.4 billion

I don't fully know what it entails but the CPC has 98 million party members. For a population of 1.4 billion that seems low, but you have to remember that not every single person has the ambition to be politically involved. Many people just live their lives without being member of a political party. And even then, almost 1 in 14 people being member of the biggest party in the country is pretty massive.
