China’s leaders marked their nation’s 60th anniversary on Thursday with a precision display of military bravado. A confident President Hu Jintao said he "cannot be prouder of the development and progress of our great motherland," noting "Tiananmen Square was sooo 1989."
The People’s Armed Police had specially outfitted armored personnel carriers, a signal of their growing stature. While their performance in Tibet was widely criticized, President Hu praised their performance in the parade, saying it was comparable to that of Janet Jackson's 1990 Rhythm Nation video.
