The Communist Party of China (CCP) turned 100 years old on July 1. A century is a major benchmark, clearly even for communists.
China’s rulers in Beijing marked the centennial with grand celebrations and displays. Ceremonies and speeches have exalted the party, the regime and – above all – President Xi Jinping.
