Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed a carefully vetted crowd at Tiananmen Square
China does not oppress other countries, said its President Xi Jinping at a speech marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
Mr Xi also warned against “bullies”, saying they would “have their heads bashed against a great wall of steel”, a statement seen as referencing the US.
His comments sparked applause from the 70,000 strong audience.
They come as China faces criticism over its crackdown in Hong Kong and alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.(BBC)
