These are some of the pictures showing China at it's best. Here they are celebrating their 60th anniversary. The moment I saw this it didn't surprise me how amazing their spectacle was. After seeing the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing, I wouldn't expect anything less. But still, you can't not be impressed by this. As you can see, the design of the parade was flawless, not even a foot out of line. I know that we like to celebrate in style, but this really is something else.
As Radio 4 News Quiz put it, "it was like gay pride on tanks." I saw lot of this on the internet and to be honest it freaked me out a lot! It was just so clinical and emotionless - I didn't see a single smile.
ReplyDeleteI agree, these Chinese celebrations are impressive, in the same way that Coca-Cola is more widely distributed than drinking water. Impressive, but horrifying!
