This year marks the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the South African Communist Party (SACP). Both parties were founded in July 1921, an extraordinary milestone of the international communist cause. Joint centennial celebrations are already on the agenda, as revealed at an opening ceremony for a webinar on the joint celebration of two centenaries jointly held by the two parties on February 2. They are committed to working together to usher in a new era of cooperation and communication.
