A century ago, the birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) brought light to darkness in China.
Uniting and leading the Chinese people in an arduous struggle, the CPC defeated Japanese invaders, overthrew the corrupt regime of the Kuomintang and established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949.
Under the leadership of the CPC, China has established a socialist system with Chinese characteristics, fulfilled the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation, and laid the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional foundation for all the development and progress.
