China Celebrates it's National Day and 60th Anniversary.

By; Rev. Jermano

October 1st has arrived and China this year is having a big celebration and parade noting the 60th anniversary and beginning to PR of China. China has been preparing for several months and are showing some very sharp looking Military Troops, and Military Hardware. Quite impressive I see. They have come a long way...in advancing their technology. There are many cruise missiles, tanks, and of course the Army. The Airforce and Navy also are here this day...showing how China has made huge strides in providing its own legitimate security. China brings renewed hope to a world in crisis. Good- going President Hu.

Actually this parade is more impressive than the 2008 parade that celebrated the China Olympics. There are many elderly Veterans that are participating in the parade. These guys are revered and honored for being the guys who freed China from the oppression of the Japanese,and the Kumintang Forces.

The parade began at 10 oc'clock,  in Beijing. Many security forces are at hand, and China also has many forces that are not on parade..at the moment taking care to be the true observers and always in readiness mode. The nuclear weapons are quite numerous I think... And China has always stated it would never use nuclear weapons first.

China television has been totally committed to the National Day.Celebration..There are many war movies that show how China fought the Japanese, and they talk very positive and really support the China Communist Party...

Many of the people support the China Mlitary because China's military does more than military exercises. In fact it helps the people. The Sichuan Earthquake we saw the military doing the work to help rebuild the peoples lives. Many Sichuan people are in deep gratitude to the PLA.

This is one reason I have much respect and admiration to China and it's military...because they help the people, unlike in the west and United States... who rely on bureaucratic FEMA institutions that totally bungled the helping of people during the Katrina disaster, and other disasters in the USA.

Today in Beijing the weather is perfect for this autumn celebration which is backed up next to Mid Autumn Festival which arrives on Oct. 3rd..This is when all the people and families have the traditional delicious mooncake.

I still hope for the betterment of China, especially in some rural areas, where clean places to buy food is lacking. But I am sure the reform will only proceed along...

I am happy to be reporting from PR China.
