How China gets its troops to stand to attention
Demonised in the West as goons guarding the Olympic torch along its chaotic world tour, these pictures at the link show how China's paramilitary police learn their unwavering discipline.

Officers of the People Paramilitary Police preparing for the Olympics are drilled on the parade ground with pins in their collars and crosses on their backs to ensure perfect posture.
