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.

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.
