Xi touts China Communist Party's global influence in speech marking 105th annive

BEIJING — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday emphasized the global influence of the ruling Communist Party of China as he marked its 105th anniversary, striking a more outward-looking tone than in previous speeches.

The remarks, which lasted about 40 minutes, contrasted with Xi's prior speeches on similar occasions that had a domestic focus on China's "national rejuvenation."

The Chinese Communist Party has "deeply changed the trend and trajectory of the world's development through relentless struggle," Xi said, according to a CNBC translation from Mandarin.

Xi, who is also the party's general secretary, described the CCP as "the world's largest ruling party with significant global influence." He said the CCP enabled China to overthrow imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, paving the way for industrialization.

The CCP was founded on July 1, 1921, and established the People's Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949. The economy began to open gradually to foreign investment and trade only in the last few decades and became the world's second-largest economy in 2010.

China now accounts for about 28% of goods manufactured globally despite U.S. and EU tariffs.
