People's Daily Online -
Broadsheet Reforma featured a Chinese guard in a front-page photo
captioned "China shines in the parade." On inside pages, the paper ran
a story commending Chinese troops as "an example of martial elegance
and good behavior" that were "impeccable" in the parade, with another
photo titled "Out of this world."
China's Honor Guard, made up of 36 warriors representing the air, army
and naval forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), had
once served as the vanguard in the parade celebrating the 60th
anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2009.
It is the first time that the PLA Honor Guard have participated in
such overseas events.
Honor Guards from China and 15 other foreign nations filled streets in
the historic center of Mexico City, including soldiers from Brazil,
Canada, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
In covering the parade, Mexico's daily newspaper Milenio headlined
"China and Russia take the laurel for their synchrony," while El Sol
described the parade as "magnificent," saying that "friendly nations
were invited" and that their representatives "paraded proudly."
