In July of 1921, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had its first national congress meeting in an apartment building in Shanghai, China with only 13 attendees, one of whom was Mao Zedong, later known as Chairman Mao.
The meeting was raided by the French Concession police, so the attendees had to escape and resumed the meeting on a paddle boat in a nearby city.
Today, the same area in Shanghai is only known for sexy night life, extravagant bars and restaurants, and shocking price tags (the surrounding apartments cost between $3 million to $8 million dollars each), while the only reminder of the communist past is the name of the subway station, Site of CCP First Congress.

Chinese Regime Unveils Three New Warships on Navy Anniversary
The Chinese regime recently unveiled three new warships to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Navy. The ships will be part of the regime’s South China Sea fleet. One Chinese media outlet claims that the move is meant to intimidate Taiwan, neighboring countries in the Indo-Pacific region, and the United States.
The three warships unveiled by Xi on April 23 are Changzheng-18, a Type 094A ballistic missile submarine; Dalian, a Type 055 destroyer; and Hainan, a Type 075 amphibious assault ship. Xi attended the commissioning ceremony, and personally presented the CCP’s military flag and naming certificates to the captains and political commissars of the new ships.
