The Communist Party of China (CPC) on 01 Jul 2021 celebrated its 100 years of existence. This one party has ruled China for 72 years, without a mandate from voters. That is not a world record. Lenin and his dismal communist heirs held power in Moscow for 74 years, as has the Workers’ Party in North Korea. But no other one-party dictatorship has been able to transform a country from a famine-racked disaster, as China was under Mao Zedong, into the world’s second-largest economy today, with state of art cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, under Xi Jinping. CCP leadership has always called itself “great, glorious and correct”.
