World: Happy 60th anniversary, China! Good luck celebrating, public!

  • If you live in Beijing, you’re under lockdown. The celebrations of China’s communist rule are apparently so awesome that they can’t have average citizens take part. “Police suggest that Beijing residents try not to go out on 1 October to avoid complications,” reported the official English-language China Daily newspaper. “The public is recommended to watch the celebrations live on TV.” Happy anniversary! source
