What is China trying to prove with military parade?
By Celia Hatton
BBC News, Beijing
Imagine a parade showing off China's most recent global accomplishments, highlighting the progress made in the 70 years since World War Two.
Perhaps the scientists who designed China's lunar rover could lead the way. Earlier this year, Chinese researchers unveiled the first new discoveries about the Moon to be made in decades.
Next in our imaginary parade: Liu Cixin, the Chinese author who just won the prestigious international Hugo prize for science fiction.
Then, Tolein, the first Chinese DJ with two hits in the UK's top 10 club charts.
Rounding out the back: Guo Pei, the Beijing designer who spent two years creating the gown that starred in New York's fashion event of the year, the Met Ball.
But instead this week, we'll see a far different image of China: one that shuns creativity and innovation in favour of uniformity and obedience.
Strict control
Soldiers have worn through 16,000 pairs of shoes after spending months practising their goosesteps, the state media report. Many gripped chopsticks between their teeth in order to master the military's "standard smile", often snapping them in two.
It seems that nothing has been left to chance. Chinese-built satellites will guide the parade's 12,000 participants, ensuring they don't stray more than a few centimetres from their correct spots.
Elements that can't be strictly controlled, including most of China's 1.3 billion people, have been barred from the parade route altogether.
Those living in the vicinity received strict warnings to stay away from their windows.
Those living near the parade's centre stage, in Tiananmen Square, have been told they can't cook for days before the parade, in case a fire detracts from the proceedings.
Not to mention tens of thousands of factories, shut down weeks ago in an effort to guarantee clean air.
Most will have little to do over the war anniversary but watch the television coverage. For five days, state television will stop its usual run of reality television shows and soap operas in favour of anti-Japanese war dramas.
"I have a deep understanding of fascism now, by observing this anniversary of the victory against the fascists," one Chinese internet user wryly observed.
'Friendly global power'
So, by going to such great lengths to project an image of strength and uniformity, what is China trying to prove?
The world must remember the suffering and the sacrifices China made during WW2, China's state media have said.
But the military parade is also making a point about China's current place in the world too.
"China was at its weakest in history when it was scourged by WW2," an editorial in the state-run Global Times newspaper said. "But 70 years later it has grown into a miraculous global power."
It's a global power with friendly intentions, Beijing insists.
The parade "will help remind all kind-hearted people of the aspiration and pursuit for peace", China's foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying explains. It will "safeguard the outcomes of WW2 in pursuit of a more beautiful future of all human beings".
China's regional rivals don't seem to agree.
Delegations from 51 countries were invited to attend the parade, and Japan and the Philippines opted against sending anyone. Leaders of major Western countries will also be absent from the viewing stands in Tiananmen Square.
"Thousands of British servicemen died in WW2 in Asia and it's right that we commemorate that, " UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on a trip to China in August.
But then he added: "We are not huge fans of military parades, showing off shining new aggressive equipment, in general."
So, are China's actions peaceful, as the foreign ministry maintains, or are they aggressive?
Japan is often cited as a key target of the parade's message. Frosty relations between Beijing and Tokyo hinge on disputes over Japan's contentious wartime record and territorial claims in the East China Sea.
It's no mistake that the official name for the parade spells out China's "resistance against Japanese aggression".
But there's a wider global objective too, some maintain.
"I think the most important thing is reasserting nuclear deterrence and that's a message for the United States," explains Mathieu Duchatel, head of the China and Global Security Project with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. "China does not have many occasions to assert the state of its nuclear arsenal."
New ballistic missiles are expected to star in the parade, including the DF-41, a long-range missile that can carry multiple warheads, capable of hitting any target in the US.
'Shoring up authority'
Global messages aside, the parade comes at a sensitive time in Chinese domestic politics too.
In the past month, the country has been rocked by chemical explosions in the port city of Tianjin, and the swift decline of its main stock markets. Both can be blamed, in part, on government incompetence.
"Frankly speaking, the new leader wants to shore up his authority," says Shanghai-based military commentator Zhao Chu, referring to Xi Jinping. "He is giving an explicit signal to the domestic audience that he has a stronger grip over the military than his predecessors."
Two of the military's senior generals, men who sat on the all-powerful Central Military Commission, have already been sacked for corruption. Mr Xi is keen to reassert his position at the top of the pile.
What China's communist leader can't do, however, is convince all of his citizens that the pomp and pageantry of the parade is worth all the hassle.
"If they're going to close the local hospitals," one internet user grumbled. "The least they can do is to eliminate all illnesses too."
中国想用阅兵证明什么？
作者：Celia Hatton
BBC新闻，北京
想象一下，如果中国想用一场阅兵来炫耀它最近在全球获得的成就，强调它在二战后70年的进步，那么这场阅兵会是什么样子的？
或许为中国设计月球探测器的科学家应该在走在队首。今年早些时候，中国的研究者们公布了关于月亮的新发现，这是人类探月活动沉寂几十年后的首次新发现。
在我们想象中的阅兵里，跟在科学家后面的会是中国作家刘慈欣，他刚获得国际科幻小说界著名的雨果奖。
然后是Tolein,他以两首作品成为第一个进入英国top 10榜单的中国DJ。
最后是：郭培，她是一名北京服装设计师，花费两年时间设计出的长裙在纽约今年的时尚展会——Met Ball中引人注目。
但是不同的是，在本周，我们会看到完全不同的画面：无视创造和创新而提倡统一性和服从。
严密的控制
据中国的国家媒体报道，士兵们花费几个月时间内练习正步，穿坏的鞋有16000双。很多人用牙咬着筷子联系军队的“标准笑容”，经常把筷子咬断成两截。
似乎不用侥幸指望会有什么改变了。中国制造的卫星会引导参加阅兵式的12000名士兵，确保他们站在准确位置，最多只偏差几厘米。
无法严密控制的部分，包括中国13亿人民中的绝大部分，统统被禁止靠近阅兵路线。
附近的居民接到严厉警告，禁止他们靠近窗户。
居住在阅兵中心区域——天安门广场附近的居民被通知在阅兵前一天不许做饭，以免火灾干扰阅兵进程。
更不用说上万家工厂在几个星期前就被关停，以保证阅兵时空气清新。
大部分人在胜利日什么也做不了，只能在家看电视。整整五天时间，中国国家电视台将停止播放选秀节目和抗日神剧。
“通过对战胜法西斯胜利纪念日的观察，我现在对什么是法西斯主义有了更深的理解。”一名中国网民挖苦说。
“友好的全球性大国”
那么，花费如此大的力气展示力量和统一性，中国想证明什么？
中国的国家媒体宣称，世界必须记住中国在二战中遭受的苦难和做出的牺牲。
但是阅兵也在展示中国在现在的世界上占有的位置。
“中国在二战的灾难中处于她历史上最贫弱的地位，”中国政府控制的媒体《环球时报》的一名编辑说。“但70年后中国已经奇迹般地成为全球性大国。
北京坚持说，中国是友好的全球性大国。
此次阅兵“将会提醒渴望和追求和平的善良人们”，中国外交部发言人华春莹解释道。阅兵“会保护二战胜利成果，为全人类寻求更美好的未来。”
中国周边的对手们可不会这么想。
51个国家的代表团被邀请加入阅兵，但是日本和菲律宾拒绝派出哪怕一人。西方主要大国的领导人们都会缺席天安门广场上的检阅。
“有上千名英国士兵在二战时在亚洲战场阵亡，所以我们对此进行纪念是正确的，”英国外交大臣Philip Hammond八月访问中国时说。
但是之后他又说：“总体来说，我们不太喜欢阅兵，不太喜欢炫耀新式进攻性武器。”
那么，中国的阅兵倒底是像它的外交部宣称的那样，是一个和平行为，还是挑衅性的？
日本经常被说成是此次阅兵的目标。日本存在争议的战时记录和中日在东海的领海纷争造成了北京和东京之间的冷淡关系。
所以本次阅兵的官方名称叫做中国“抗击日本入侵”是没错的。
但是一些人坚持认为中国的阅兵还有更大的影响全球的目的。
“我认为此次阅兵最重要的目的是确立核威慑，这是要传达给美国的信息，”斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所中国和世界安全项目的领头人Mathieu Duchatel说。“中国没有多少场合能够展示它的核武库。”
新型弹道导弹将会出现在阅兵中，包括东风-41。这是一种远程弹道导弹，能够携带多枚核弹头，射程覆盖美国全境。
“支撑政府当局”
除了传达给世界的信息，此次阅兵也处在中国国内政治的敏感时间点。
在过去的几个月，中国经历了天津的化学物品大爆炸和股市的大跌。这两次事件都可以归结于中国政府的无能。
“说老实话，中国新的领导人想支撑自己的权威，”中国上海的军事评论员赵楚这样评价习近平。“他想给国内的观众传达一个明确的信号，即他比他的前任对军队的掌握更牢固。”
军队的两名高级将领，也是中央军委成员，已经因为腐败问题被撤职。习先生迫切要重新确立他处在顶端的位置。
但是中国的共产主义领袖做不到的是该如何向他的臣民解释为这种排场和盛典忍受的麻烦是否值得。
“如果他们要关掉附近的医院，”一名网民抱怨说。“那他们至少得先消灭所有疾病。”转自龙腾网，译者bonjour

Most will have little to do over the war anniversary but watch the television coverage. For five days, state television will stop its usual run of reality television shows and soap operas in favour of anti-Japanese war dramas.
"I have a deep understanding of fascism now, by observing this anniversary of the victory against the fascists," one Chinese internet user wryly observed.
'Friendly global power'
So, by going to such great lengths to project an image of strength and uniformity, what is China trying to prove?
The world must remember the suffering and the sacrifices China made during WW2, China's state media have said.
But the military parade is also making a point about China's current place in the world too.
"China was at its weakest in history when it was scourged by WW2," an editorial in the state-run Global Times newspaper said. "But 70 years later it has grown into a miraculous global power."
It's a global power with friendly intentions, Beijing insists.
The parade "will help remind all kind-hearted people of the aspiration and pursuit for peace", China's foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying explains. It will "safeguard the outcomes of WW2 in pursuit of a more beautiful future of all human beings".
China's regional rivals don't seem to agree.
Delegations from 51 countries were invited to attend the parade, and Japan and the Philippines opted against sending anyone. Leaders of major Western countries will also be absent from the viewing stands in Tiananmen Square.
"Thousands of British servicemen died in WW2 in Asia and it's right that we commemorate that, " UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on a trip to China in August.
But then he added: "We are not huge fans of military parades, showing off shining new aggressive equipment, in general."
So, are China's actions peaceful, as the foreign ministry maintains, or are they aggressive?
Japan is often cited as a key target of the parade's message. Frosty relations between Beijing and Tokyo hinge on disputes over Japan's contentious wartime record and territorial claims in the East China Sea.
It's no mistake that the official name for the parade spells out China's "resistance against Japanese aggression".
But there's a wider global objective too, some maintain.
"I think the most important thing is reasserting nuclear deterrence and that's a message for the United States," explains Mathieu Duchatel, head of the China and Global Security Project with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. "China does not have many occasions to assert the state of its nuclear arsenal."
New ballistic missiles are expected to star in the parade, including the DF-41, a long-range missile that can carry multiple warheads, capable of hitting any target in the US.
'Shoring up authority'
Global messages aside, the parade comes at a sensitive time in Chinese domestic politics too.
In the past month, the country has been rocked by chemical explosions in the port city of Tianjin, and the swift decline of its main stock markets. Both can be blamed, in part, on government incompetence.
"Frankly speaking, the new leader wants to shore up his authority," says Shanghai-based military commentator Zhao Chu, referring to Xi Jinping. "He is giving an explicit signal to the domestic audience that he has a stronger grip over the military than his predecessors."
Two of the military's senior generals, men who sat on the all-powerful Central Military Commission, have already been sacked for corruption. Mr Xi is keen to reassert his position at the top of the pile.
What China's communist leader can't do, however, is convince all of his citizens that the pomp and pageantry of the parade is worth all the hassle.
"If they're going to close the local hospitals," one internet user grumbled. "The least they can do is to eliminate all illnesses too."
中国想用阅兵证明什么？
作者：Celia Hatton
BBC新闻，北京
想象一下，如果中国想用一场阅兵来炫耀它最近在全球获得的成就，强调它在二战后70年的进步，那么这场阅兵会是什么样子的？
或许为中国设计月球探测器的科学家应该在走在队首。今年早些时候，中国的研究者们公布了关于月亮的新发现，这是人类探月活动沉寂几十年后的首次新发现。
在我们想象中的阅兵里，跟在科学家后面的会是中国作家刘慈欣，他刚获得国际科幻小说界著名的雨果奖。
然后是Tolein,他以两首作品成为第一个进入英国top 10榜单的中国DJ。
最后是：郭培，她是一名北京服装设计师，花费两年时间设计出的长裙在纽约今年的时尚展会——Met Ball中引人注目。
但是不同的是，在本周，我们会看到完全不同的画面：无视创造和创新而提倡统一性和服从。
严密的控制
据中国的国家媒体报道，士兵们花费几个月时间内练习正步，穿坏的鞋有16000双。很多人用牙咬着筷子联系军队的“标准笑容”，经常把筷子咬断成两截。
似乎不用侥幸指望会有什么改变了。中国制造的卫星会引导参加阅兵式的12000名士兵，确保他们站在准确位置，最多只偏差几厘米。
无法严密控制的部分，包括中国13亿人民中的绝大部分，统统被禁止靠近阅兵路线。
附近的居民接到严厉警告，禁止他们靠近窗户。
居住在阅兵中心区域——天安门广场附近的居民被通知在阅兵前一天不许做饭，以免火灾干扰阅兵进程。
更不用说上万家工厂在几个星期前就被关停，以保证阅兵时空气清新。
大部分人在胜利日什么也做不了，只能在家看电视。整整五天时间，中国国家电视台将停止播放选秀节目和抗日神剧。
“通过对战胜法西斯胜利纪念日的观察，我现在对什么是法西斯主义有了更深的理解。”一名中国网民挖苦说。
“友好的全球性大国”
那么，花费如此大的力气展示力量和统一性，中国想证明什么？
中国的国家媒体宣称，世界必须记住中国在二战中遭受的苦难和做出的牺牲。
但是阅兵也在展示中国在现在的世界上占有的位置。
“中国在二战的灾难中处于她历史上最贫弱的地位，”中国政府控制的媒体《环球时报》的一名编辑说。“但70年后中国已经奇迹般地成为全球性大国。
北京坚持说，中国是友好的全球性大国。
此次阅兵“将会提醒渴望和追求和平的善良人们”，中国外交部发言人华春莹解释道。阅兵“会保护二战胜利成果，为全人类寻求更美好的未来。”
中国周边的对手们可不会这么想。
51个国家的代表团被邀请加入阅兵，但是日本和菲律宾拒绝派出哪怕一人。西方主要大国的领导人们都会缺席天安门广场上的检阅。
“有上千名英国士兵在二战时在亚洲战场阵亡，所以我们对此进行纪念是正确的，”英国外交大臣Philip Hammond八月访问中国时说。
但是之后他又说：“总体来说，我们不太喜欢阅兵，不太喜欢炫耀新式进攻性武器。”
那么，中国的阅兵倒底是像它的外交部宣称的那样，是一个和平行为，还是挑衅性的？
日本经常被说成是此次阅兵的目标。日本存在争议的战时记录和中日在东海的领海纷争造成了北京和东京之间的冷淡关系。
所以本次阅兵的官方名称叫做中国“抗击日本入侵”是没错的。
但是一些人坚持认为中国的阅兵还有更大的影响全球的目的。
“我认为此次阅兵最重要的目的是确立核威慑，这是要传达给美国的信息，”斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所中国和世界安全项目的领头人Mathieu Duchatel说。“中国没有多少场合能够展示它的核武库。”
新型弹道导弹将会出现在阅兵中，包括东风-41。这是一种远程弹道导弹，能够携带多枚核弹头，射程覆盖美国全境。
“支撑政府当局”
除了传达给世界的信息，此次阅兵也处在中国国内政治的敏感时间点。
在过去的几个月，中国经历了天津的化学物品大爆炸和股市的大跌。这两次事件都可以归结于中国政府的无能。
“说老实话，中国新的领导人想支撑自己的权威，”中国上海的军事评论员赵楚这样评价习近平。“他想给国内的观众传达一个明确的信号，即他比他的前任对军队的掌握更牢固。”
军队的两名高级将领，也是中央军委成员，已经因为腐败问题被撤职。习先生迫切要重新确立他处在顶端的位置。
但是中国的共产主义领袖做不到的是该如何向他的臣民解释为这种排场和盛典忍受的麻烦是否值得。
“如果他们要关掉附近的医院，”一名网民抱怨说。“那他们至少得先消灭所有疾病。”
