BEIJING -- The ruling Communist Party will not hold the expected military parade for its centennial this summer, apparently aiming not to further fuel already-smoldering international tensions.
"There will be no military parade in the festivities marking the party's 100th anniversary," said Maj. Gen. Li Jun, assistant to the director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, in a news conference here Tuesday. All officers and troops will celebrate at their posts, Li said.
