Through watching the National Day parade roll down Tian’anmen Square last Thursday, foreign observers were impressed by China’s fast development and growing strength
China’s military parade, the birthday celebration was a showcase of fighter jets, tanks and ballistic missiles（弹道导弹）．The display included 100,000 marchers, 80,000 children, 8,000 soldiers and 151 planes．President Hu Jintao, whose Mao suit（中山装）interested foreign media, told the watching nation that the Chinese people were “full of confidence,” USA Today reported．“Today, a socialist China, facing modernization, the world and the future, has stood rock-firm in the east of the world,” he said.
The celebration marked the day in 1949 when Chairman Mao Zedong announced the founding of the People’s Republic of China．In the years since, the nation has grown into the world’s third largest economy．
The Associated Press（美联社）quoted Geremie Barme, a China expert at Australian National University as saying that the displays “meant” to educate, excite, unite and entertain”．The New York Times said that while China’s military is still behind those of many developed nations, its progress since the last parade in 1999 was clear．
The rapidly improving ability of China’s army has worried some overseas analysts．Reuters said that Dongfeng 21C, the anti-ship missile, could force US aircraft carriers（航空母舰）to stay farther away from China’s waters, if models were developed into more powerful ballistic missiles．
Russell Moses, a political analyst, said China’s leaders are “right to congratulate themselves, but real test is not how they deal with success but how they deal with present challenges．” Among these are the imbalance in development between the town and the country, unemployment and the environment.
