China's Communist Party is celebrating its ninetieth anniversary. A small group of intellectuals established the party in July of nineteen twenty-one in Shanghai. In nineteen forty-nine, after a long civil war, the Communist Party defeated the Nationalists and took power under Mao Zedong.
中国共产党正庆祝建党90周年。1921年7月,一小群知识分子在上海建立了共产党。在长期内战之后,1949年共产党打败国民党,建立以毛泽东为首的政权。
