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.
But instead of the blue tracksuits members wore while escorting the flame, they are kitted out in full dress uniform during the exercise at their base in Shenyang, Liaoning province. | |

#1 I like the style of the US military - like relaxed statues of marble which at any point could calmly come to action. It is what the chinese kung fu movies attempt to depict their heros as. But for real, real people here and now ready to act. But I don't get the article, am I now supposed to sympathise or be impressed with the flame-guards or add it to the dossier of bad chinese behavior? |
