THE history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) over the past 100 years has been the history of the trials, tribulations and achievements of the Chinese people.
After Sun Yat-Sen’s proclamation of a republic in 1912, the foundation of the CPC in 1921 was the second great event of the 20th century in China.
