(Kaieteur News) – In 2026, the Communist Party of China (CPC) marks the 105th anniversary of its founding, while Guyana celebrates the 60th anniversary of its independence. One is an important milestone in the Chinese people’s pursuit of national rejuvenation; the other is a proud moment in the Guyanese people’s journey toward independence, dignity and progress. Similar historical memories and shared aspirations for development have closely linked China and Guyana together.

The CPC was founded 105 years ago at a time of national crisis. From that moment on, the Chinese people found a strong leadership core in their struggle for a new future. Over the past 105 years, the CPC has united and led the Chinese people in overthrowing the imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism, founding the People’s Republic of China, launching reform and opening up, and advancing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. China has grown from a poor and backward country into the world’s second-largest economy, a global manufacturing power and an important force in scientific and technological innovation.

It has achieved a great transformation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong, with more than 1.4 billion Chinese people moving toward a better life. The CPC has grown from just over 50 members at its founding into the world’s largest governing party, with more than 100 million members and significant global influence.
