It was amusing witnessing the grand maoist party, yesterday in Beijing. What a display of power and greatness. Oh we are just so great. Imagine, the Chinese Government is showing the world how mighty their armed forces have grown over the past 2 decades, and that intruders be warned.

Of course on the other side of the coin, seeing President Hu in ... Read Morea Mao suit, standing up in a red flag limousine (Chairman Mao, Deng and Zhang were captured in the same poise), and standing stern, with a permanent salute to the peoples army, and yelling out, "Who is your boss", made me cringe with shame. You see, the purpose of the grand display of power, had nothing to do with showing the West how powerful and fearsome the PLA had become. In truth, this theater was solely for the eyes of the Chinese people, as a warning to those who question the authority of the Communist Party, over the Chinese people.
