China President Xi Jinping on Thursday hailed a "new world" created by the country's people as China's Communist Party marked the centenary of its founding, and warned foreign forces attempting to bully the nation will "get their heads bashed".

In an hour-long televised address from Tiananmen Square after watching fighter jets form a "100" in a flyby, Xi pledged to build up China's military, committed to the "reunification" of Taiwan, and stressed the autonomy held by Hong Kong and Macau.
