Show Notes

Here's another oldie from 2011 that was published to coincide with the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. This was released before Xi Jinping was made General Secretary of the Party and before the Party began insisting the naming convention of the Party be changed to CPC. CCP was seen by the Party as a Western-influenced abbreviation that carried negative Cold War–era connotations. No offense. So much of this history has gone through the propaganda regimen. However it's told, the story of the founding of the Communist Party is a great one. I hope you enjoy this one from back in the early days of the CHP.
