President Xi Jinping on Thursday called for building a strong military to defend the country and warned that the Chinese people will never allow any foreign force to “bully, oppress, or subjugate them”, as the country marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Communist Party. Addressing the centenary celebrations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the historic Tiananmen Square here, Xi in over an hour-long address also said that integrating Taiwan with the Chinese mainland is a historic mission of the ruling party.
No one should underestimate the great resolve, the strong will, and the extraordinary ability of the Chinese people to defend their national sovereignty and territorial integrity, he said. We must accelerate the modernisation of national defence and the armed forces,” Xi, 68, said in his address telecast live by the official television channels. We are equipped with greater capacity and more reliable means for safeguarding our national sovereignty, security, and development interests,” he said. Xi said China does not oppress other countries and will not allow others to “bully us.”
“We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will,” Xi said. The Chinese people will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us,” he said. “Anyone who would attempt to do so will find themselves on a collision course with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people,” he warned.
