Willis Wee on 24 Sep 09This 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.
