(CNN) -- President Hu Jintao inspected China's defense forces in Beijing on Thursday as the country began celebrations to mark the 60th founding anniversary of the People's Republic.
Hu, wearing a high-collared dark Mao suit and riding in a black open-roof Red Flag limousine, passed by tens of thousands of soldiers and militia and ranks of camouflaged tanks and missiles.
Addressing a rally in Tiananmen Square, Hu called on the Chinese people to unite more closely to build a "rich, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and modernized socialist country," state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
About 200,000 soldiers and civilians -- from veterans and athletes to space heroes and young people -- gathered in Tiananmen Square for the National Day military and mass parade showcasing achievements of the last 60 years, Xinhua reported.
They included a 1,300 member military band and a fly-past by China's first batch of female fighter pilots, Xinhua added.
Rain-dispersal rockets fired into the area in surrounding provinces and regions to induce rain before it reaches the capital in the largest weather-intervention effort since the opening ceremony of the Olympics last year, Xinhua reported. |
