That’s like doing a parade days before Thanksgiving, while not actually doing anything on Thanksgiving. These organizers are morons. Does Xi Jinping review the troops before Commie Day while skipping Commie Day itself?

Its a great city and is a premier tourist attraction. You would think they would have organized it better. Oh well.

Maybe because it was much harder to set up and prepare for than they want to let on and they didn’t want to take the chance of any glitches happening live.

Wouldn’t be a shock.

This official video claimed the event took place on December 31. What a disgrace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v05uHuJj7Hs
