【明報專訊】In the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s celebration of its centenary, its general secretary Xi Jinping delivered a speech at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. He stressed the need to ''learn from history and create a future'' so that China can make strides on the road to becoming a fully modern socialist power. In his speech, Xi emphasised that external forces would not be allowed to bully the Chinese people. He said China must be united, get wealthy and strengthen its armed forces. The sharp and tough rhetoric conveys the clear message: ''If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.''
