Lamslagen stad

Nationaldagsfirandet rycker allt närmare och det ska nu övas på gator och torg runt om i staden. Den 1 oktober är det 60 år sedan det kommunistiska Kina grundades och det kommer vara den största paraden i historien. Imorgon kommer halva stan vara lamslagen då det ska tränas på att paradera. Vi bor ca 500 meter norr om Pekings paradgata som kommer vara avstängd imorgon.

De som bor direkt utmed denna gata har fått följande intruktioner:

• No guests between 31 September and 2 October.
• Residents without a special permit are not permitted to enter the parade zone even if they live there.
• Windows are not allowed to be opened for the parade or parade rehearsals. Just to be certain, building management has collected all window keys.
• Metal detectors and x-ray machines have been installed in the lobby. Even groceries need to be x-rayed.
• Guests leaving an apartment in the days leading up to the parade need to have it inspected by the PSB before they can depart.
• Gatherings of 10 or more people must be approved by the police in advance.

Paranoida...nähä...

80-talet ringde och ville ha sin militärparad tillbaka...

Xinhua also announced that the coming parade would feature "Fifty-two types of new weapon systems developed with China's own technologies, including airborne early warning and control (AEWC) aircraft."
