BEIJING -- The Chinese government said on Tuesday that no one could stop the rise of the country as it follows the path set by Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China.
In a 10-minute speech celebrating the country's 70th anniversary, President Xi Jinping, dressed in a gray Mao suit, also pledged to uphold the "one country, two systems" principle governing Hong Kong and Macao.
