He delivers strong word of warning in his address to a massive parade in Beijing
China’s ruling Communist Party on Thursday marked its centenary with a massive parade in Beijing and a warning from leader Xi Jinping to “any foreign forces” that China would not be “bullied”. In an hour-long speech to a crowd of thousands on Tiananmen Square, Mr. Xi hailed China’s “national rejuvenation” — a theme he has emphasised since taking over in 2012 and found mention 24 times in his speech — and the leadership of the party, upon which, he said, China’s “success hinges”. He also delivered a strong word of warning saying China was “not intimidated by threats of force”.
