China celebrates 60 years - Images

[Ceyfer √]

Awesome shots from the new soviet of the east?

China formally kicked off its mass celebrations of 60 years of communist rule with a 60-gun salute that rung out across Beijing's historic Tiananmen Square earlier today. Hundreds of thousands of participants marched past Tiananmen Square in costume or uniform, with floats and dancers mingling with soldiers and military hardware. Collected here are photographs of the once-in-a-decade National Day parade in Beijing, and of others commemorating the anniversary elsewhere - The Big Picture

Rough comparison Polk's. Congrats China, a very well organized parade, paying much attn. to detail ,notice how all the soldiers are just about the same height .
Kees don't be afraid of the Chinese,they don't bother nobody,worry about North Korea and Iran (specially if you are westerner).

My comparison was based upon his country's past experiences. With this post, I will change my sig...something (as usual, from my own philosophies).
