The 9th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (simplified Chinese: 中国共产党第九次全国代表大会; traditional Chinese: 中國共產黨第九次全國代表大會 pinyin: Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng Dìjiŭcì Quánguó Dàibiǎo Dàhuì, abbreviated Jiŭ-dà [九大]) was a pivotal Communist Party Congress in China during the height of the Cultural Revolution. It was held in Beijing, China, between April 1 and 24, 1969. The Congress formally ratified the political purge of Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, and elevated Mao's radical allies formally to power.
1,512 delegates were represented at the Congress, although they were not all members of the Party. A significant number represented Red Guard groups, and there was a marked increase in the size of the PLA delegation, many of whom were loyal to Lin Biao.[1]
