China’s Communist Party is celebrating its 100th anniversary Thursday, and while Americans keep replying to tweets from China with photos and videos of Tiananmen Square (filled with tanks, not dancers), Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the state-affiliated Global Times, shared an animated GIF that he says went viral on China’s internet.
