The CCP initially did not have a single official standard flag, instead using various flags from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Kuomintang. In 1942, the CCP Politburo decreed the establishment of a sole official flag. There were further tweaks in the design between 1982 to 1987. The CCP General Office officially standardized the design of the hammer and sickle in 1996. According to Article 53 of the constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, "the Party emblem and flag are the symbol and sign of the Communist Party of China." The flag is regulated by the "Regulations on the Emblem and Flag of the Communist Party of China", which was adopted by the CCP Central Committee in 2021.
