Below are a few videos of the Chinese 60th Anniversary Parade. In the video with the planes you may be surprised to know that the lead pilots are female. From an applicant pool of 350,000 only 16 women were selected for the honor to overfly the parade. (Their training began in 2005) Chinese female military pilots also fly combat missions. Only seven other nations allow this.

Gee PS, think the Chinese will ever reciprocate and light up of their iconic buildings in our colors in our honor?
Word of warming: Don't try holding your breath until the Chinese reciprocate.
We shall pay dearly (or is that dear leaderly) for our ignorance.
