THE Communist Party of China (CPC) remains committed to serving the country’s 1.4 billion people, its central committee said yesterday as it prepares to celebrate the centenary of its foundation this week.
The 91 million-strong Marxist party has transformed China from an impoverished nation to the world’s second-largest economy.
But its achievements of rapid growth, long-term economic stability and eliminating absolute poverty are phenomena that Western political theories are not able to explain adequately, the CPC said.
