China Holds Rehearsal For September 3 Military Parade

BEIJING, CHINA - AUG. 22: China on Saturday held a large-scale rehearsal for a military parade early next month in the heart of Beijing commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, with numerous tanks seen roaring into its venue, Tiananmen Square. China ratcheted up restrictions for the night rehearsal, which was to also involve hundreds of other armored vehicles and equipment, with major streets cordoned off, while police officers all over the city were keeping a watchful eye. The bustling capital was eerily quiet. Hardly any lights were on, and people living in rooms facing the major boulevard running through the square were prohibited from looking outside. Media coverage of the rehearsal was heavily restricted. Many shops and restaurants near the boulevard have been asked to close their shutters until the parade ends on Sept. 3 for the anniversary, which China calls the victory of its war of resistance against Japanese aggression.
