CHINA China has invited Zhang Yimou, the film director who thrilled a global audience with the opening ceremony at the Olympic Games, to organise the October festivities for the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, a sign the economic slump has not damped Beijing’s appetite for spectacle.
Mr Zhang will direct the celebrations that will accompany a military parade along Chang’an Jie – the Avenue of Everlasting Peace – Beijing’s main thoroughfare.
