The go-go Militia

An old colleague sent me this link to a 360 degree view of the recent 60th Anniversary parade in Peking.  Takes a while to load, but it’s worth it.  How did they do that?
Reminded me to post the vid of the Women’s Militia: marching in pink mini-skirts, white leather go-go boots and AK47s slung to the bosoms….
A few years back, the Mayor of Dalian in Shenyang province decreed that the traffic cop-ettes should all be comely, 5’8”, and clad in leather mini-skirts with leather thigh-high boots.  Oh, lovely un-PC China!
====================
ADDED (18/6/24): All the links above are rotted. But Im leaving it here anyways. Interesting thing is, if I go to YouTube and Search something like “Dalian traffic cop-ettes” or similar, I just get a lot of negative stuff about police in China. Fifteen years ago, it was all nice results. Times and attitudes to China have changed.
