Xi Jinping to outline his vision of a strong China in grand National Day celebration

• President will preside over meticulously planned events including lavish military parade to mark 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule
• He led top officials to pay tribute to People’s Republic founding father Mao Zedong on Monday

 

 

Beijing will stage one of its grandest parades ever on Tuesday to mark the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule, signalling a new chapter under President Xi Jinping’s leadership. The meticulously planned celebrations – which include a lavish military parade, gala evening show and fireworks – are a chance for Xi to outline his vision of a strong China under the firm direction of the party.

. . .

The 66-year-old is expected to join Mao, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao on the pedestal of “top leaders” on Tuesday morning when he presides over a parade of 15,000 People’s Liberation Army soldiers. A 100,000-strong civilian parade will follow, featuring a huge portrait of the president along with those of his predecessors.

Monday evening here was dedicated to watching the spectacle on TV ... just find the CCTV4 live stream on YouTube. Since we are hosting MIL, it was an obvious choice.

 

Kind of tired of watching/hearing the official modern China narrative that all of this progress (of the last 150 years or so) was accomplished without any foreign help worth mentioning. Sheesh!

 

Anyway, congratulations to the 1.4 billion who make it happen every day in China!
