BEIJING (Global Times): Addressing a grand ceremony to celebrate the centennial of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing on Thursday (July 1) marked by palpable joy and thundering cheers of a large crowd representing all sectors of Chinese society, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, highlighted remarkable achievements of the past century, drew a promising future for the country's "irreversible" path toward rejuvenation while delivering stern warnings to forces that seek to undercut that path and divide the country.
On a cloudy morning in the capital, the gloomy sky and rain obviously didn't affect the audience of all ages and from all professions, ethnic groups, other political parties and personages without party affiliation, as they gathered on the colorful square singing nostalgic songs of the revolutionary period and marveled at a spectacular airshow that featured some of the country's best fighter jets.
