Reading Time: 8 minutes Could anyone imagine that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) founder Mao Zedong forgot that the first party congress was held on 23 July 1921 in Shanghai? Somehow, 1st July was later designated as the “anniversary of foundation”. Last few days CCP has been in overdrive. Caged pigeons, blocked roads, armed police, and K-9 units greet you everywhere in Beijing. Despite disinterest shown by the Chinese citizens, 1st July 2021 will be celebrated as the first centenary of CCP.
