Knees high, ladies! China marks 60 years of Communist rule with a mighty show of its goose-stepping female militia

China celebrated its wealth and rising might with a show of goose-stepping troops, gaudy floats and nuclear-capable missiles in Beijing today, 60 years after Mao Zedong proclaimed its embrace of communism. Tiananmen Square became a high-tech stage to celebrate the birth of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, with the Communist Party leadership and guests watching the meticulously disciplined show of national confidence.

Celebrations began in the morning with troops firing cannons and raising the red national flag while President Hu Jintao, solemnly-faced and wearing a slate grey 'Mao' suit, looked on from the Gate of Heavenly Peace over the Square.

Most of these women in pink are said to be not real-life soldiers but those recruited by PLA to play one in the parade.

The first two in the lead at the top picture are reportedly professional models who did commercials for L'Oreal product or foreign luxury cars.

Pretty amazing the trouble they go through. It looks like each of the them is the exact same height and weight.

Now you see, this is the difference between the Third World and Western "Lefts." The former is proud and militaristic while the latter is self-hating and pacifist. It isn't even the same ideology, FCOL! When are our Lefties gonna celebrate their undying patriotism for the Motherland?

The one one on the left is nice looking. She's carrying a TYPE 79 submachine gun.

Maybe I can improve Sino-American relations with her.

That is a strand leeching off capitalist society. It is still driven by ‘whiny intellectuals.’ They gave up on revolution and take the path of parasites, slowly destroying the enemy of socialism from inside.

I honestly don't know if American Commies could ever convert over to that side of the fence. I think their self-hatred is so ingrained that no amount of socialism would make the USA worthy of their patriotism.

Yes, they can have more than one child, in several ways. First, if they live in rural areas, and the first child is female, they are allowed a second child (to help stop the abortion of females). Further, in most urban areas, if you have a second child, the penalty is now more often monetary than, well, medical. Chinese, like most Asian cultures, dislike embarrassment, and getting excoriated in the Western press for doing those forced abortions went a long way towards those rule changes. Clearly, they have population issues, and have to do something to keep a lid on things... and in many areas, either local tyrranical officials, or familial traditions, can lead to abortions against the mother's will... but that seems to be far more the exception instead of the rule these days.

#2 is a pretty amazing picture, actually, People who denigrate that sort of thing as robotic haven't ever tried it - human beings need to concentrate and adjust to achieve that sort of precision. We aren't machines, we're much more complicated.

That said, let us not forget - we have met the Chinese Red Army in battle and it was a hell of a fight. And it didn't go well for the Chinese. They have not forgotten. We'd better not.

Given the same amount of resources Chinese used for this event, N. Koreans would hit the ball out of the park. China basically learned from N. Koreans on this.

This is an adaptation of N. Korean yearly routine.

Mao Takes Manhattan: Empire State Building Goes Red and Yellow for China
September 30, 2009

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China under Communist rule and Mao's 1949 revolution, the Chinese will hold a military parade in Beijing on Thursday of unparalleled size -- 5,000 soldiers, 43,000 fireworks and a display of 52 new weapons -- followed by a civilian parade of 100,000 marchers and 60 floats, many chanting new nationalistic mantras coined by the Chinese government for the occasion.

For a nation that worships Mao, and the path of development and prosperity the Chinese people believe he charted, nothing less would do to commemorate its 60th anniversary.

But when it comes to the commemoration of China's 60th anniversary in the U.S., perhaps we could -- and should -- expect a little less.

Wednesday night in New York City, the Empire State Building will illumine its familiar spire with red and yellow lights in honor of Communist China. The Communism-themed color scheme will stay lit through Thursday night, much to the delight of China's consular officials, who were on hand for a ceremony in the lobby of the iconic building Wednesday morning, and to the acute dismay of the dozen or so protesters outside, and to many Americans who question whether honoring China's Communist revolution here is at all appropriate.

Unfortunately, many conservatives label them "anti-gun." They're actually so fond of guns that they want to have them all.

Thanks for your post. Interesting, I thought the forced abortions were continuing. Then again, the Chicoms have ceased killing Catholics and other Christians in mass, although they still put them in prison for 10+ years.

What I said was in S. Korean articles which usually have more details on E. Asian news. It said the real soldiers are in the minority in the pink brigade, but I am not sure about green uniforms, though.
