July 1 marks 100 years of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). To celebrate, President Xi Jinping gave a speech to a crowd of 70,000 people in Tiananmen Square. We will not accept sanctimonious preaching from those who feel they have the right to lecture us, Xi warned. We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will, he claimed. By the same token, we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us.
He then went on to threaten enemies with violence. According to a Reuters write-up:

China’s rejuvenation is finally within grasp and any attempt to bully the nation will be met with a steely response, President Xi Jinping said on Thursday (July 1) in a spirited speech marking the Communist Party’s centenary.
For the first time, the ruling party celebrated its anniversary in central Beijing’s Tiananmen Square – a location reserved for the most important national events.
Flanked by other party leaders both past and present, Xi, the most powerful leader in decades, stepped up to the rostrum at the Gate of Heavenly Peace to address the nation.
In an hour-long speech, Xi hailed the achievements China has made under the communist leadership.

As China s ruling Communist Party celebrates its auspicious anniversary, the debate is intensifying over how to deal with the renewed prominence of authoritarian values at the heart of the world s second largest economy.
For the Communist Party, this is meant to be a moment for basking in the warm adulation of the masses, not for talk of a new Cold War.
And Max Baucus, the former US Democratic Party Senator who served as US ambassador to China from 2014 to 2017, finds himself in agreement. The vast bulk of people in China… care very little about a change in the party because they re more concerned about their own lives, he says.
