Women have limited representation and voice across the top echelons of China's political system, said US-China Economic and Security Review Commission in a report. According to United Nations data from 2021, China's population comprises approximately 703.8 million females and 740.4 million males. Although they represent roughly 48.7 per cent of the population, women occupy less than 8 per cent of senior leadership positions.

Of the 31 Chinese nationals serving in top leadership positions in key international organizations, only 4 are women, according to the report.
