1004.
An epic parade!
I especially loved the dignified banter between Hu Jintao("Hi Guys!") and the soldier ("Hi Chief. We're here for the People!"). This is SO Chinese and culturally correct! No other world leader can do that without inviting comments.
China throws parties like these (maybe the biggest yet on tv, certainly not the biggest in their history) always to serve and to please the People. Never to win approval from foreign countries, journalist and bloggers.
The wealthy like to see an Eagle (like the one got thrown a shoe) on the throne, the needy a Santa Clause; the industrious, culturally-rich and law-abiding, the Chinese, a Dragon.
A Dragon needs to wash, preen his wings and shake his horns sometimes. This fills a basic need of his people, and not just in the continent either.
Chance skeptics, critics and such will always be present, but they are never the primary objective. If ever they make up a peripheral objective, it has to be "to put them in their place."
If they feel unease and take pause, well maybe that's their place.
