Nice article on China @ 60 by Venkatesan Vembu

========================
Chinese leaders are in general dour-faced men given to making mind-numbingly tedious speeches about "harmonious society" and "scientific development". Prince Charles, whose own personality is far from scintillating, famously referred to them as "appalling old waxworks" -- and it's entirely possible that they took his comments as a compliment.

Sombre gravitas and a dyspeptic facial expression are perhaps necessary 'soft skills' among China's top leaders, and it's well known that if you're looking for someone to be the life and soul of a party -- even if it's the Communist Party -- you don't invite Chinese leaders.

All that changed on October 1. For a few brief moments at the spectacular National Day parade in Beijing, Chinese President Hu Jintao allowed himself to break out into a beaming smile and waved enthusiastically -- and generally conducted himself with the same graceful decorum that a kid might exhibit at a candy store.

It happened at the precise moment when China's newest 'weapons of mass destruction' -- a 'fembot' army of eye-candy soldiers in pink dresses and white, calf-length go-go boots -- goose-stepped their way past the grandstand on Tiananmen Square. The gush of male hormones among those assembled nearly drowned out the patriotic exertions of the brass band.
