Time-honoured China-South Africa military friendship
By Opinion
Tsepe Motumi
Just a month ago, South Africa celebrated, together with the peoples of the People’s Republic of China, the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the 1 st of July 2021.
The CPC is one of the oldest communist parties in the world, and spurred the development of the People’s Republic of China after the revolution.
This would however not have been possible to achieve without military power and the mobilisation of the masses of the people.
It is also worth noting that since the Chinese Revolution there were ground breaking epochs within China for the good of her people.
