China celebrates 60 years of communism with a display of military might that should worry the West

China today celebrated its wealth and rising might with a show of goose-stepping troops, gaudy floats and nuclear-capable missiles in Beijing, 60 years after Mao Zedong proclaimed its embrace of communism.
Tiananmen Square became a hi-tech stage to celebrate the birth of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, with President Hu Jintao, wearing a slate grey 'Mao' suit, and the Communist Party leadership watching the meticulously disciplined show from the Gate of Heavenly Peace over the Square.

@Dogmeat1950 China needs to fix up the consumer protection or rather nonprotection. That with crony capitalism leads to a mess.

The one and only highest state body in China is National People's Congress, a parliament. Its Standing Committee of the National People's Congress rules between the sessions. All the parliament's members are elected indirectly by the members of the lower level parliaments. The lowest level is elected by the citizens. It models the soviet system. However, unlike in the late USSR, the people can chose from unlimited number of candidates disregard of party affiliation.
