BEIJING (Reuters) - The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, is now host to the world's largest communist party, state media said on Thursday, after establishing the first party branch in one of the U.S. company's China stores.

A Chinese Communist Party official in the northeast city Shenyang said a Wal-Mart store there had set up a party branch on August 12 -- the first branch of the ruling Communist Party in the U.S. icon of global capitalism, Xinhua news agency reported.

"Employees at the Wal-Mart store will now have access to CPC membership," Xinhua said, referring to the Communist Party of China.

It did not say how many of the 700 Wal-Mart employees at the Shenyang store had applied to join the 70-million strong party.

A Wal-Mart spokesman was not immediately available for comment on the report.

The announcement comes soon after Wal-Mart bowed to a Chinese government campaign to establish state-controlled trade unions in its outlets across the country.

Those unions also fall under party control and rarely advocate strikes
