Autumn reaches Beijing pleasant weather and with him accompanied by fresh breeze and a cloudless sky smogfreien. The air conditioning has been running for days and not at night it is not enough simply to cover up with a sheet. Autumn - according to most Beijing - was the most beautiful season in the city. The weather is beautiful (not hot as hell is not freezing cold), the people pleasant to handle (Somerurlaub relaxed from the back) and the number of tourists has exceeded its annual zenith already. Enjoying the last warm sunny days - for half a year before freezing cold, smog, and no sunshine will dominate the city - sits with friends at the roadside or in the park, chatting about this and that. And in fact, currently there are mainly two major issues for Beijing.
Great topic number 1 is the fourth new metro line Expected by some damn hot, she has other in advance of its opening, the waves of emotions can run high before people like no Subway line. Advantages and disadvantages of line 4 are obvious, namely: positive: a very good (= practical) route, in addition to various attractions (Summer Palace, Beijing Zoo) and major transport hubs (Xizhimen, Beijing South Railway Station) finally the western part of the so-called "inner City "(= everything within the 2nd ring road) binds to the Ubahnnetz, especially for the South Railway Station was high time. Negatives: With the opening of the new line on 28 September, introduced a new tariff plan. The current flat rate to 2 kuai per trip is thus relegated to the past, as a new model one aims at a price model with the constants route distance and route change, that is, the longer it goes and the more often you change one line more bezaht. Exact prices have not yet been named, but one can assume that the Beijing municipal government is very depend on the Shanghai Ubahnsystem (3-9 kuai per trip). Furthermore, stir well one or the other out that it will be allowed in contrast to the rest Ubahnsystem in line 4 non-food or drink to consume - and this despite not existing Kebab infrastructure.
much larger issue No. 2: The 60th anniversary of the existence of the PRC. For 1 October (Chinese National Day, Proclamation of the People's Republic) is a show of superlatives announced. As every ten years earlier this year will be a huge military parade on Chang'an Jie, the longest continuous street in Beijing held. But apart from this program highlight, there will be an incredible addition to program in a similar if not even more massive scale as his time during the Olympic Games. Even before forcing many students to give up their holidays during the summer for the anniversary ceremony, which was received on 1 October will participate in daily training and practice. That of course, of "volunteers" is mentioned you have to mention China and certainly not more so.
But no matter what social class you belong to the topic 60Years Anniversary currently no one escapes. Be it on the Internet, on TV, radio and in print media, so that everywhere you currently face. And even people who consume no mass media, by affecting public figures along the way made aware that their beloved country's 60th Coming soon Birthday celebrating. Impairment of the public. Life? This is actually the time of the National Day in Beijing are not uncommon, but every year millions of Chinese from the farthest provinces at that time in the capital at the National to enjoy there and the way to do some sightseeing. All the traffic system - already self operating with the 15 million inhabitants, Beijing is already at the limit - now breaks down completely, tourist attractions and public spaces and shopping streets are so unpleasantly crowded that we will prefer not set foot outside the front door. Already last year, it was unbearable, and this year it is probably even worse to a degree. The paradox of the whole driving thing is that one of the real excitement - the parade and throughout the ceremony, etc - as citizens live unaware of anything. Of course the whole Spekakel will be shown on TV, but the Chang'an Jie itself is not a large area for the public to be walked on. A parade in which no one can stand by and watch, there's something even in China.
As in 2008, at the time of the Olympics is one this year just before the historic Ereignis auf Seiten der Partei sehr um Harmonie innerhalb der Bevölkerung bemüht. Umso ungünstiger kommen derzeit die ausartenden Injektionsnadelattacken in Chinas Problemprovinz Xinjiang (Details siehe Eintrag: Chinas Minderheitenproblem). Dementsprechend rasch versucht China derzeit die ganze Sache abzuschließen, hält Spontanverhöre ab und spricht Blitzverurteilungen gegen die Angeklagten aus, nur allzu schnell versucht man die Sache unter den Teppich zu kehren. Das Internet wurde mittlerweile einer weiteren Zensurwelle unterzogen, war es während des Sommers noch möglich mittels div. Proxyprogrammen auf gesperrte Seiten wie Facebook oder Youtube zuzugreifen, so ist dies nun auch wieder „unmöglich“. Und: „mysteriöserweise“ works recently my Taiwanese television stations not restricted or more. Time is no sound because, sometimes no picture nor times. What a coincidence. As last year during the Olympic Games, China wants to enter not only the lowest risk regarding loss of image and thus risk a stain on his supposedly clean slate.
runs parallel, currently on all mass media, a kind of feel-good campaign to raise clearly the mood of the population just before the national holiday. Every two or three days the whole area around Tiananmen Square (the center of the anniversary ceremony) cordoned off for samples blocked traffic, tourists and sealed off by subway die betroffenen Stationen nonstop durchgejagt. Am nächsten Tag sieht man dann in den Breaking News die brav übenden Leute im Gleichschritt marschieren, singen oder tanzen. Gleichzeitig berichten TV Shows und Internetseiten mit aufregenden Fotos vom Training der Soldaten in den Kasernen. Hier wird einem klar gemacht: der 1. Oktober 2009 wird der sicherste Tag in China während des ganzen Jahres werden. Neben Einsatzvideos von Häuser stürmenden Spezialkommandos und exerzierenden Soldaten sieht man jedoch auch den offensichtlich lockeren und fröhlichen Alltag der Mannschaft, da werden schon mal gern Fußball-, Mahjiang- oder Seilziehen Tourniere ausgetragen. Und gelächelt wird dabei sowieso immer. „Unseren Soldaten geht es wirklich gut“, Off the inevitable comment of the speaker. What (in these three days, they introduced to the basic of the Army and could then decide whether they agree or not) a coincidence that currently prevent most students their three "army day".
Thus, as the changed China's image in the West during the past 60 years has changed the propaganda. Gone are the days of communist posters of arms to the sky holding roaring revolutionaries. In the 21 Century, one proceeds much more discreet. Meanwhile, China is almost inevitable for the kitschy (propaganda) Music videos / songs have become, what each produced specifically times around an important event. Currently, the following song was published separately for the 60 years anniversary: \u200b\u200b

The Others song sung by Jackie Chan is fundamentally about a word game. The chines. Word for state is "Guojia", which in turn consists of "guo" and "jia". "Guo" as much as country / territory means while "jia" simply stands for family. The text is the whole song through in the direction of "My country / territory is my country / territory, my family is my family / / I love my country / territory, I love my family etc, are seen in the video during which families from different parts of China - of course, that China, despite immense problems of minorities once again its alleged multi-cultural harmony must stress. The climax to the final two words on the word "Guojia" are joined, the lyrics changed to "I love my country [= Chinese]" and you can see the wind blowing in the chines. Flag. Perfect propaganda, acting as a harmless music video markets.
One thing is already clear. China and the party emerges as the big winner from this whole anniversary show. Compared to the 60th Jahren agiert man selbstbewusster denn je, unterstreicht seinen Anspruch auf die Rolle des Global Players noch kräftiger. Zumindest nach außen hin präsentiert man sich als starkes einheitliches Land mit glorreicher Zukunft. Doch unter dieser resistenten Kruste befindet sich ein weicher Kern mit vielen ungelösten Konfliktherden. China Wirtschaft stagniert, 100.000e sind durch die Krise arbeitslos geworden. Auch wenn man im internationalen Vergleich noch mit einem blauen Auge davon gekommen ist, so wird man sich in Zukunft doch daran gewöhnen müssen mit der Zeit immer mehr Investoren nach Indien, dem neuen Zukunftsmarkt, abwandern zu sehen. Doch neben wirtschaftlichen Problemen sind es vor allem die sozialen Themen, die massives Konfliktpotential in to recover. It is still unsolved because the problem of minorities, the anxiety ahead Allerme regions of Xinjiang and Tibet. One thing is clear, the Tibet riots last spring and this year was mainly Xinjiangaufstände ethical conflicts. But to keep the remaining population will still be difficult. Despite reforms rife with corruption by party officials at the district level as ever, the difference between city and country is becoming more blatant, Massenmigartion städt in areas lying fallow as well as non-serviced areas are the result. If not controlled in time to a food shortage major category is essential. Furthermore, crises such as SARS anno 2003 and this year's pig flu not only the weaknesses of the non-existing basically chines. Health system and patient care but also much more pointed with the increasing threat rapidly declining moral courage among the people - united in the social sense, the country was last in the failed reform policies of Mao.
