BEIJING - China has banned flying kites, drones and captive pigeons over central Beijing for more than two weeks as it prepares for a military parade and other celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule on Oct 1.
Military planes flew over the parade route on Sunday as China held rehearsals for the second weekend in a row. Tanks and other military vehicles rumbled along the same road the previous night. The broad road was closed to both vehicles and pedestrians, with any onlookers kept behind barriers at least one block away.
President Xi Jinping will deliver a speech at the ceremony, and more than 100,000 people will take part in what is described as a"mass pageantry".
