Security in China

The government in Beijing had lots of practice with security for the Olympics. They have more work to do for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the PRC.

Here are a couple of pictures of security and the curious crowds at a middle of the night practice run for the October first military parade.



The police kept people away from Tiananmen Square as military vehicles practiced on the parade route for the national day celebration.



Even though it was the middle of the night, crowds gathered in an attempt to see what was going on.

Wen Ling, the photographer, maintains ZiBoy, a photo blog where you can often find interesting and informative photographs of people and events in Beijing.
