China bans flying kites, drones and captive pigeons over central Beijing as it prepares for a military parade to mark the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule on Oct. 1.
A helicopter carrying the flag of China's People's Liberation Army flies above the central business district in Beijing, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019. Many of the streets in the central part of China's capital were shut down this weekend for a rehearsal for what is expected to be a large military parade on Oct. 1 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Communist China.
Flying activities that affect flight safety are prohibited in seven of the capital city’s 16 districts from Sept. 15 to Oct. 1, according to a notice posted Sunday on the Beijing municipal government’s website. The banned activities also include flying balloons and lanterns. The parade is part of a huge ceremony planned at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square to mark the founding of the People’s Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949. Communist forces took power after defeating Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist army in a civil war. The Nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan, where they set up a rival government called the Republic of China.
