The brief
The Communist Party of China observed its 105th anniversary on July 1, 2026, with a series of public productions and a major address by Xi. The event highlighted the organization's role in industrialization and national progress while addressing internal governance, including ongoing efforts to curb corruption.
Coverage from outlets including Reuters, The Straits Times, and AP News emphasizes the party’s focus on adaptability, ideological unity, and the necessity of safeguarding past advances. Reports also highlight official data noting that membership has surpassed 101 million, even as observations from the South China Morning Post point to trends of slower membership growth and an aging demographic within the party.
