Top Chinese state and military leader Hu Jintao today inspected the country's defense forces which will also stage a massive parade in Beijing in celebration of the 60th founding anniversary of New China.
A black open-roof Red Flag (Hongqi) limousine (made by FAW Car) carried Hu, state president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, eastward along Chang'an Avenue from the iconic Tian'anmen Square shortly after the celebration started at 10 am.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and militia, together with ranks of camouflaged tanks and missiles, stood along the newly widened boulevard and waited to be inspected. The whole procession stretches some three kilometers.
