BEIJING/HONG KONG - As China prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic on Oct 1, Beijing is on security lockdown ahead of celebrations headlined by President Xi Jinping that will be capped by a massive military parade down its main ceremonial thoroughfare.
Chinese-controlled Hong Kong is on high alert to stamp out any activities that could embarrass Beijing and draw unwanted attention at a time when Xi will seek to project an image of national strength and unity under Communist Party rule. Hong Kong has already canceled the annual Oct. 1 fireworks display over the city’s iconic Victoria Harbour, citing public safety concerns.
On recent weekends in the Chinese capital, spruced up with red flags and bright landscaping, shops in the city center have been closed, curtains ordered shut and streets closed for rehearsals featuring military vehicles rumbling towards Tiananmen Square and fighter jets screaming across the sky. Some Virtual Private Networks , which allow internet users to bypass China’s Great Firewall, have seen increasing disruption, some users say on social media, which is often the case ahead of sensitive dates. The Cyberspace Administration of China did not respond to a request for comment.
