The Jiusan Society is the seventh-ranking minor party in China.[2] The party's original name was "Democracy and Science Forum" on its informal founding in 1944; the current name refers to the date of Chinese victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War (3 September 1945).[3] The party is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[4][5]
