The celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is an upcoming ceremonial event with a grand military parade as its spotlight to celebrate National Day of the People's Republic of China that is scheduled to take place on 1 October 2019 in Beijing. General Secretary of the Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping, who will be the guest of honor, will give the holiday address to the nation and Chinese expatriates abroad before inspecting the formations along Chang'an Avenue.[3]

Background edit

The founding of the People's Republic of China was officially proclaimed by Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China on 1 October 1949 in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The first public parade of the then new People's Liberation Army took place there, following the chairman's address of the formal foundation of the new republic.

Preparations edit

The official logo for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was officially unveiled by the State Council Information Office on 3 June 2019.[4] Many celebrations throughout China and overseas Chinese communities have been planned for the year of 2019. In early September, rehearsals took place in central Beijing for the military parade. General Cai Zhijun of the Joint General Staff said in a press briefing that it will not be targeted "at any countries or districts" but rather would be "committed to safeguarding world peace and regional stability".[5] It is expected to be bigger than the parades commemorating the 50th and 60th anniversary of the PRC, as well as the 2015 China Victory Day Parade.[6]

Although a massive National Day fireworks display had been planned along the harbour in Hong Kong to celebate the 70th anniversary – as it has done every year since 1997, Hong Kong government cancelled them "for safety reasons" over the protests in the city that have lasted since March.[7]

Media edit

China Central Television (CCTV) is expected to mainly broadcast synchronously for domestic and foreign TV channels, while national, provincial and city broadcasters and TV stations, domestic internet video, portals, and live webcast sites may also be broadcasted simultaneously. The China Media Group (Central Station) may also broadcast live overseas through websites such as YouTube. On 4 September 2019, the Central Station held a mobilization meeting to celebrate the 70th anniversary. More than 260 representatives from all units attended the event.[9] As the focus of the celebration, the Central Station is bound to take publicity reporting seriously. The China TV News published on 19 September announced on the front page that the second issue (published on the 26th) will disclose the relevant live broadcast arrangements of the China Media Group to the event.

Various overseas media will also pay attention to the coverage of this event, and those who have met the conditions may broadcast it around the world. The "press center for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China" is located in Beijing's Media Center and was officially launched on 23 September.[10]
