THE history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) over the past 100 years has been the history of the trials, tribulations and achievements of the Chinese people.
After Sun Yat-Sen’s proclamation of a republic in 1912, the foundation of the CPC in 1921 was the second great event of the 20th century in China.
The party’s chief founders such as Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao espoused Marxism, drew enormous inspiration from the Bolshevik Revolution and answered the call from Lenin and the Communist International to form communist parties.
