Chinese Communist party marks milestone in its rule but relatively low-key commemorations are indicative of national slump
Xi Jinping has warned of “rough seas” ahead for China’s people in a speech marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China that was notable for the lack of major festivities.
In the speech to about 3,000 Chinese Communist party (CCP) members and foreign dignitaries on Monday, the eve of China’s national day, Xi praised China’s advancement since Communist forces ousted the Nationalist government and established the PRC.
