This coming October 1st is China’s 60th National day. If the nation’s age happens to be a multiple of 5, celebration tends to be of a larger scale, which includes a military inspection at Tiananmen square.
Security in the capital has been unusually tight with submachine gun-toting SWAT units patrolling through the crowds.
To protect sensitive content, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have also been blocked.
Other interesting restrictions from AP:
“Residents have been barred from flying kites as a precaution against aerial hazards, and those who live in the diplomatic apartments that line the parade route have been told not open their windows or go out on their balconies to watch. Knife sales have been restricted, and notices in apartment lobbies urge residents to report anything suspicious.”
