Communist Party has altered the world: Xi Jinping
Singapore: China’s President Xi Jinping has told thousands assembled in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square that the Chinese Communist Party has altered the development of the world.
Celebrating 100 years since the founding of the CCP, Xi on Thursday said the Chinese people had stood up under the leadership of the Party.
“This great transformation of China from a poor and backwards country laid down the fundamental conditions necessary for realising national rejuvenation,” he said.
“Only socialism could save China and only socialism with Chinese characteristics could develop China.”
The highly-controlled centenary celebrations were opened by fly-overs of China’s newest stealth fighter jets, the J-20, shots from 100 cannons and thousands singing Socialism is Good and Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China in unison.
