Well, it was one hundred years in the making, but at last, China can hold their centennial celebration of the founding of the CCP.
The media have been holding their own little parties over the past few days, of course.

But those don’t even come close to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s unbridled enthusiasm:
China's President Xi Jinping has warned foreign powers will "get their heads bashed" if they attempt to bully or influence the country

Warning about the opposition to the CCP getting their heads bashed in in Tiananmen Square is just *chef’s kiss*. What a nice touch.
Not a strange thing to say at all. #ChinaGlobalThreat https://t.co/AkuvbKKN3E

And by "bully China" Xi means "wag their fingers while I annex Japan." https://t.co/3AL7AT38Tz

Basically.
President Xi’s speech in Tiananmen Square today is rich in content. The remark – anyone who dares try to bully China will get their heads bashed – has hit the top of hot topics on Chinese social media in the morning. Anti-China forces need to stay calm. pic.twitter.com/SF6psuJs5C

Oh, no need to worry, President Xi. Our “anti-China force” is busy with far more important things:
Oh cool. How's that Critical Theory training coming, DOD? https://t.co/1dVEzDmFIN
