Most ordinary folks those who work in Beijing's teahouses, grocery stores, offices and factories won't be lining the streets today to watch the festivities for communist China's 50th birthday. They're not invited. Chinese leaders are leaving nothing to chance for their show of national power, a parade of 500,000 participants in the morning and dance for 100,000 guests at night. Only the select have been given passes.

Everyone else will have to watch it live on TV or seek out other entertainment. Any, grumbling about that on Thursday was good-natured or guarded. The 50th anniversary, after all, is the ruling Communist Party's party, and while people have freedom to grouse about most things, criticizing the leadership publicly is too risky.

"Our country is definitely on the road to becoming strong and prosperous, so that's what makes National Day very exciting," she said.
