On September 30th, the CCP held a ceremony to dedicate flowers to the Monument to Heroes in Tiananmen Square. CCP leader Xi Jinping led the six Standing Committee members and officials out for a parade, which is the first time in the history of the CCP. The scene dumbfounded the ordinary folk.
According to China’s official media, on the morning of September 30th, Xi Jinping led the Standing Committee making a pyramid formation.
Analysts pointed out that this kind of performance was the first time in the history of the CCP. The pyramid formation may be a signal to the outside world that Xi has been established as the core of the CCP and is the sole leader, leading all other members of the Standing Committee and all other officials.
October 1st was China's National Day. In the early morning, more than 200,000 people flocked to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony. It was crowded and people seemed to have forgotten about the safety distance.
Netizens ridiculed: "To do this before the 20th National Congress, if there were an outbreak, wouldn’t be making trouble for Xi?" "If you shout slogans to love China and the Party today, the CCP might turn your health code to yellow or red tomorrow, taking you away for quarantine!"
7 Chinese Communist Party CCP Standing Committee members showed up at Tiananmen Square, a scene
that dumbfounded the ordinary folk.
On September 30th, the CCP held a ceremony to dedicate flowers to the Monument to Heroes
in Tiananmen Square.
CCP leader Xi Jinping led the 6 Standing Committee members and officials out for a parade, which

According to China's official media, on the morning of September 30th, Xi Jinping led
the Standing Committee and staged a performance in Tiananmen Square, making a pyramid formation.

One of Xi's closed-door tasks may have been to lead the Standing Committee in a pyramid
formation exercise, as he was absent for 10 days after attending the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization Summit.
As for the direction of the march, it may be another story, because if Tiananmen is
considered the front, they were walking backward.
Video shows that originally, the Standing Committee stood in a row.
Xi Jinping stepped out first and slowly walked forward.
After walking out 3 or 4 meters, two members on either side of him started to walk forward,
becoming the second row of the pyramid formation.
After the second row walked out a few meters, another two members started to walk, becoming
the third row of the pyramid formation.
Following them were the last two members as the last row of the pyramid.
Footage shows that all participants in the ceremony on September 30th didn't wear masks.
This is an obvious contrast to Xi's reappearance 3 days ago.
Xi made his first appearance after 10 days of hiding, leading all senior officials in
Beijing to visit a political exhibition, where everyone wore a mask.
Analysis suggests that this may have opened up a new norm in the Communist Party's epidemic
prevention and control efforts, that is, no more wearing masks at outdoor events.
Making trouble for Xi Jinping?
More than 200,000 people filled Tiananmen Square on October 1st.
October 1st was China's National Day.
In the early morning, more than 200,000 people flocked to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag
raising ceremony.
It was crowded and people seemed to have forgotten about the safety distance.
In online video shows, tens of thousands of people began to wait in line on Chang'an Street
before dawn.
With so many people crowding in, it was impossible to keep a safe distance.
Many wore masks, but many others didn't.
It was said the lineup started at 9pm the night before.
After entering Tiananmen Square, it was even more packed.
With crowds after crowds, getting close to the flag raising site was impossible, as it
was impossible to move through the crowd.
The cameraman said,
I am stuck.
Netizens ridiculed.
To do this before the 20th National Congress, if there was an outbreak, wouldn't it be making
trouble for Xi?
If you shout slogans to love China and the party today, the CCP might turn your health
code to yellow or red tomorrow, taking you away for quarantine.
On the other hand, as the 20th National Congress is approaching, the CCP has put Beijing under
tight control to ensure that there are no unforeseen incidents.
According to Free Asia, Beijing's public security authorities are conducting citywide searches
to clear out out-of-town petitioners.
Human rights activists and dissidents in Beijing have even been placed under 24-7 surveillance,
and some have been forced to leave the city by October 8th.
In addition, identity cards are checked individually when exiting trains and buses.
