TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Taking credit for delivering the modernity and prosperity which Chinese people have dreamed of for over a century, the Chinese Communist Party is pulling out all the stops to celebrate 100th anniversary of the party.
From elementary school essay competitions to patriotic films to an unending parade of speeches, banners and news headlines, China is in the midst of celebrating the CCP’s 100-year anniversary. The journey started from 1921 when CCP was formed.
China at that time was driven by feuding warlords, deeply mired in poverty, and powerless on the international stage. The Republic of China was established in 1912, but its government was weak and largely unable to solve China’s problems.
By contrast, the China of 2021 is an emerging superpower. Beijing has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, a nuclear arsenal and the world’s second-largest economy. China’s geopolitical prominence is cemented abroad while authoritarian pressures grow at home.
The CCP continues to claim full credit for these accomplishments. In February, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared the end of extreme poverty in China.
